Hey everyone, here are the minutes to our meeting held on October 25th.
Treasurer’s Report

Halloween Potluck
The Halloween Potluck dinner is this Sunday, the 29th. It’s going to start at 6:00. Please note the time change. It will be held at 54 New London Rd. If you need directions, please email me (jenp@udel.edu). Costumes are strongly encouraged. If you would like to attend, please email me and I will put you on the list. The current list will be attached.
Zoo Trip
Our trip to the Baltimore Zoo is on Saturday, November 4th. We will be leaving at 8am from the Russell Lot. The tours that were decided on were the giraffe, rhino, elephant (or frogs depending on weather), and the vet. We will either be going to three or four of these tours. The tickets are $12.75 to be paid as cash or check to Danielle ASAP. Since we have pre ordered tickets, we do not know if we can add anyone to the trip. Please email Kaitlyn at kaitlyn@udel.edu.
Guest Speaker Updates
We have had two people volunteer to be guest speakers at some point. The equine vet at New Bolton Center would love to talk with us as would Marci Trover, a club alumni who teaches the animal health 111 lab. Amanda Kilby also has several connections for people to come speak with us about working in the production part of the industry. Jenna is also going to try to get some current students at UPenn and maybe an admissions officer to come and speak with us next semester.
Longwood Gardens
We are in the process of putting together our annual Longwood Gardens trip. It will be held on December 6th, the last day of classes. Our tour guides (Longwood Grad Students) would like us to be there at 6pm.
Steve Cook
We will be volunteering at Steve Cooks farm on Saturday Nov, 18th. More details are forthcoming, but we are going to ask him to help us with judging in preparation for Regionals.
General Announcements
Dues! Next week is the final week for dues. $15 for new members and $10 for former members.
Newark Car Wash said we would get $4 for every car that goes through the was, and we could even set up a stand to sell stuff. Since it is a tunnel car wash, we could theoretically do it now, but most likely we will do this in the spring (March?).
HOLA will be sponsoring HOLAween on Friday, November 3rd in the Trabant multipurpose room starting at 7pm. It is free, and there are prizes for costumes.
On Saturday, Nov 4th at 6pm, the Indian Student Association will be having a fashion show and fundraiser.
For all those coming to the potluck, I’ll see you on Sunday, if not, I’ll see you at the next meeting.

Halloween Potluck Dinner
The Halloween Potluck dinner is going to be held on Sunday, October 29 at 6:30. It will be held at Jen and Danielle’s house at 54 New London Rd. We sent around a sign up, a copy of which is attached. If you are planning on attending, please email me at jenp@udel.edu and tell me what you are bringing. It could be food, or things to eat off of. We still need someone to bring plastic utensils, so if you live in the dorms and can’t cook, that would be an easy thing to get.
Zoo Trip
Our trip to the Baltimore Zoo is going to be on Saturday, November 4th. We will be leaving at 8 from the Russell Lot. The cost will be $12.75/ticket. Please send your tour choices to Kaitlyn ASAP. They are as follows: rhinos, giraffes, elephants, warthogs, frogs, vet hospital, chicken (behavior). Please pick your top four.
Speaker updates
All of our possible speakers are still being contacted.
Longwood Gardens
For the past two years, we have gone to Longwood Gardens on the last day of class to see the Christmas lights. Last year we even got a tour from some grad students involved in the Longwood Gardens grad program. We are planning this trip again, so keep the date open.
Other Announcements
Newark car wash wants groups to come and wash cars there as a fundraising opportunity. This will probably happen sometime in the spring.
Our service trip to Steve Cook’s farm will be happening on Saturday, Nov 18.
I’ll see you all next week!
