Ag Carnival

Ag Carnival went spectacularly. Out combined team AB came in third place! Good job guys. Our second team stayed with tradition and finished last, but with a valiant effort. If you have any pictures from Ag Carnival please email either Stacy Green (sgreen@udel.edu) or Michelle Lapara (mlapara@udel.edu) with them as soon as possible so they can be in the scrapbook.
AgrAbiligy Auction
We raised a total of $1018 at the auction. Excellent job to everyone! The money was gained from the auction and also via donations from alumni, including Dr. Gaines, a former president of Animal Science Club. Thank you to everyone who helped getting donations and who helped out at the auction in any capacity~

Kilby Cream Fundraising Event

The fundraising event will take place this Sunday at Kilby Cream from 2-5 pm. We will most likely be helping only in a volunteer capacity. However, if you have any cloths you want to donate, please be sure that you deliver it to Jenna before 2pm this Friday (the 13). Cloths should be long sleeve shirts and long pants. If you need to location of Jenna’s house please email her at jscib@udel.edu. If you want more information (directions, etc) about the event, please email Amanda at akilby@udel.edu.

Halloween Potluck Dinner

Our next social event is quickly coming up. We are going to have a Halloween potluck dinner (costumes encouraged). We will have it on Sunday, October 29, starting between 6 and 6:30. This is parents weekend, but we still hope you all will be able to stop by. Jen and Danielle have graciously donated their house as the venue. Sign ups for food/supplies will be next week, so think about if you will be able to make or bring anything to the event.

Kaitlyn has gotten in touch with alumni Linda Pill at the Baltimore Zoo. She is willing to give us a backstage tour on a Saturday on the stipulation that we arrive there at 9 (before the zoo opens). We will be going on Saturday, November 4th, so keep that date open. Here is a list of things we can see at the zoo. Please email Kaitlyn (kaitlyn@udel.edu) your top four choices for exhibits. Also email her if you want to sign up to go.

• Warthogs
• Golden frogs (they’re doing research on them)
• Tour of animal hospital
• Chicken training and behavior
