Hey Animal Science Club!
We had our last business meeting of the semester on 5/3. Here are the minutes from the meeting:
Treasurer's Report
Account: $553.78
*We made $170 from donations and $119 from the Plant Sale on Ag Day!!*
Ag Day Report
Although Ag Day was a success overall, and we hope everyone had a great time.. there's always room for improvement. One of the problems we had was with kids feeding the animals with the rations they had mixed. Also, some of us felt that we might have stretched ourselves a bit thin and had too many things going on (facepainting, plant sale, mixing feed, the animals, etc.). Ideas for next Ag day include: have one cohesive theme, condense our activities, do demonstrations throughout the day (the sheep shearing was a hit!), less animal pens?, educate club members about the animals before Ag Day, and have a better layout under the tent.
Also.. don't forget to give Jenna your late t-shirt payments of $5!
Banquet
The Banquet is this coming Wednesday, 5/11 at 5:30pm at Timothy's. We will be meeting in the Russell lot at 5pm to carpool over. If you haven't already paid Jenna, remember to give her your money for Banquet! ($10 for active club members and $19 for non-active/non members.)
Advisor Appreciation nominations
AgCC is collecting nominations for the best advisor of the year. This can be an advisor from a club, academic advisor, lab, etc. A 1-page typed nomination is due by May 9th to the AgCC mailbox in 104 TNS, or you can email it to Stacy at sgreen@udel.edu. There will be a free luncheon on Reading Day (May 18th) from 12-2 in the Commons to recognize the winner. Even if your advisor doesn't win.. he/she will still get a note in recognition for being nominated.. so send in those nominations!
Elections
Here are our new officers for next year:
President: Jenna Scibilia
Vice President: Kaitlyn Lutz
Treasurer: Danielle Smarsh
Secretary: Jen Puttress
Historians: Stacy Green and Michelle Lapera
Congratulations, guys! Also, as part of their election speeches, everyone gave some fundraising ideas for next year.. these include: ping pong-ball toss for a goldfish (either an actual fish, or a coupon for one), donate time to clean-up an event for money (Dover Downs, the Bob for Concerts?), sell baked goods in front of Walmart (they'll double the profits), sell pizza or lollipops, try and sell general ANSC t-shirts, spaghetti dinner, or sponsor a movie night (or other event) and sell popcorn, candy, etc.
Miscellaneous
-Sally mentioned the ANSC Club in the AgrAbility newsletter!
-Please send in your club pictures to Jen at jenp@udel.edu
-Meeting time for next semester: 5:30pm Wednesdays (keep this in mind when doing your schedules)
Alright. Thus concludes my last minutes to the ANSC Club as Secretary. It's been great fun, and I hope that everyone has enjoyed reading them these past two years. >tear< I look forward to seeing you all at the Banquet this Wednesday for one last hoorah!
