Because of our difficulty helping out Steve Cook this year (we got lost) we're going to have to reschedule for next semester.

Guest Speaker

Next week, we will have a guest speaker from Perdue. Please come and bring questions. He will be speaking about work in animal industry.

Dairy Tour

Our tour of the dairy for a disabled woman will take place on Weds, April 19 at 4pm. A sign up sheet was sent around to give the tour.

Guest Speaker

That same day, at our meeting, Dr. Culp, and Army Corps. vet will be speaking to the club.

Plant Sale

Plant sale order forms will be distributed as soon as we have all the plant names. This will be our major fund raiser for the spring, so everyone sell. Especially to faculty members! Another idea is to place adds in the UD classifieds. More about this will be discussed next week.Car WashThe car wash fundraiser for the spring has been scrapped in favor of concentrating our efforts on the plant sale to raise money.

Banquet

The ANSC club banquet will be held on May 10 at Timothy's. Please send any award nominations to Amanda, Jess, or Carolyn. **Don't send your nomination to the person you're nominating

The animals we will be concentrating on are sheep (ruminants) and chickens (non-rum). In addition, we will have facepainting. The shirts will most likely cost $7-$9. The exact cost will be known by next meeting.

If you are on the committee for the high school quiz bowl or are interested in helping out, we will be meeting at 5, before the next business meeting in 111 Mem.

There was not enough info for the tentative service activity at the Delaware Humane Society, so the trip has been put on hold.
