Newark Community Day
We are planning on using our donations for the Walk for Animals sponsored by the Delaware Humane Society on October 1st. Then, whatever we raise for that we will match from our donations and give to the Windcrest (sp?) Adoption center. For more information on the Walk for Animals or to sign up for our team, email Kaitlyn Lutz (kaitlyn@udel.edu).
We now have the coupons for our goldfish. We have decided to make the price $1/3 tosses.
If you would like to sign up for a shift, please email me at jenp@udel.edu.

Cowtown Rodeo
Our trip to cowtown rodeo is on Saturday, September 23. The price is $8/person for the group rate or $12/person individual. The rodeo starts at 7:30, we need to be in line at 7 at the latest, and it takes about a half hour to get there. If you are interested in going and have not signed up, or have signed up and have since realized you can not go, please email me at jenp@udel.edu.

Ag Carnival
Ag Carnival is on Saturday, October 7. We have decided not to sponsor a physical event, but instead to concentrate on our AgrAbility auction. Please bring ideas of what we can get to auction off. Some ideas from today are tickets to a sporting event/zoo/aquarium, we can contact a beef farmer for some cuts of meat, gym membership, or peddle tractors. If you have more ideas please email Jenna at (jschib@udel.edu). In addition to thinking of things to get donated, we also have to start publicizing the event to bring in people from the community who have money. If you are interested in being on a team and have not already signed up, please email me at jenp@udel.edu.

Steve Cook
Every year we try to go to Steve Cooks farm. So far there are several possible dates at the end of the fall where we can help Steve prepare beef cows for show or vaccinate sows before farrowing. There is no sign up yet, but be prepared for future information.

Block & Bridle National Convention
The national block and bridle convention is being held January 25-27 2007 in Kissimmee Florida. If we register before October 16 the registration is $185/person and there is a special rate of $89/room at a local hotel. This event is a leadership event with one day of tours of local agriculture facilities and one day of speakers. The tours this year range from meat processing plants, fruit, ranches, horses, and wildlife. The tours are on a first come first serve basis, so registering early is key. In order to cover some of the costs, we are going to try to get supplemental money from the school. One of the organizers of the convention this year is Kathleen, a former Animal Science Club president now at the University of Florida.
