Here are the minutes for the meeting held on Weds, February 14, 2007.

Treasurer’s Report
Account - $1172.53

AgrAbility Speaker
We are planning on having a speaker from AgrAbility come speak to the club on the 28th. During her talk, we will present the check from the auction held during Ag Carnival.

Vet Student Panel
We are currently contacting several Delaware alum who are students at UPenn vet school. We are hoping to open up the panel to all students in the college. The panel will probably be held in addition to our usual weekly meeting, and we are hoping to book 132 Townsend. The panel has been tentatively scheduled for the middle of March, but more information will be forthcoming.

Carwash
Our carwash is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, March 4th (with raindate being Sunday, March 11). It is an automated carwash, and we get $4 for every car that goes through. We can ask for donations or sell things (like baked goods or hot chocolate, etc). We will also likely have signs advertising the car wash. Our hope is that people will want to get the salt off their cars, so we’ll get a good amount of people going through. Think about if you would like to sell something.

Ag Day
Ag Day is the college and state wide gathering that happens on the last Saturday of April every year. This years theme is something along the lines of “Rooted in the past, branching into the future.” Since we always seem to be scrambling for shirt ideas, this year we will be holding a contest for shirt ideas. Usually, we have a simple logo on the front (no need to design that), but a larger design on the back with some sort of witty or funny comment. Email any designs you come up with to me at jenp@udel.edu. Keep in mind a color scheme for shirt and lettering while you make it, but be aware that it may change. Also, due to price, only one color ink can be used. Ideas are due at the meeting on April 4th, where we will also be voting on the winner. The top two finishers will receive an as of yet undecided prize.
Also, we are going to concentrate on one species of animal this year, and that animal is sheep. Each committee will be given a topic to make a poster about, such as sheep fun facts. More about this will be explained at the next meeting.

Banquet
Banquet is held at the end of the year. This year, we are going to try to go back to the more traditional banquet format, but first, we need a place to hold banquet. It may seem like a long time from now, but we need to book a place now. If any one knows of a nice restaurant with a private room, they are encouraged to get price estimates and possible menu options. Either bring you ideas to the meeting or email them to me at jenp@udel.edu.

That’s all for this weeks meeting.
