Hello Animal Science Club!

Wednesday's meeting started off with a guest speaker, Dr. Culp, who is a UD ANSC Club Alumnus and Veterinarian in the Army Corps. Hopefully everyone enjoyed his presentation and found it informative! For those of you pursuing veterinary school, keep in mind the scholarship and funding opportunities provided by the Veterinary Army Corps! We also had two representatives from Huntingdon Life Sciences tell us about position and internship availabilities (www.huntingdon.com). Following our guest speakers, there was a short business meeting.

Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,029.30

Plant Sale
Plant Sale Forms were handed out at the meeting. Pick-up for the plants will be on May 11th.

Ag Day
Ag Day is next Saturday!! A sign-up sheet for shifts (set-up, general Ag Day, and clean-up) was sent around. Please email Carolyn at cschnek@udel.edu to sign-up for a shift if you weren't at the meeting. Also, because the Ag Day t-shirts were a little more expensive than we had planned, we're asking that members pay $5 for a shirt to help cover costs. You can pay for your shirt either at next meeting or at Ag Day.

Tour of Dairy
A few of our members helped give a tour of our dairy to two disabled women before the meeting. Despite a rocky start (flat tire), all went well, and the women were very appreciative. Nice job, guys!

Officer Elections
We will have nominations for next year's officers at the next meeting. So start thinking about positions that you would be interested in!

Banquet
Our Banquet will be on May 10th at Timothy's. We will send around a sign-up sheet at the next meeting. Dress for the Banquet is "nice"--aka, no jeans or sneakers. You don't have to get super fancy, but this is our chance to get dressed up a bit.. so have fun with it. Also, please send in your award nominations to one of the officers (not to someone you're nominating, though)!!!

Miscellaneous
Concerning the zoo trip for next semester, it looks like it's going to be too expensive to have a behind-the-scenes tour at the Philadelphia Zoo, so we're going to look into perhaps having Linda Pill show us around the Baltimore Zoo again. Also, we got a thank-you card from the AgrAbility speaker. She was very appreciative of all the money we raised for AgrAbility, and she will keep us posted on how our donation will be spent.

That's it for this week's minutes. See you all at next week's meeting on 5/26 at 5:30pm in MEM 111.
