Hey everyone, here are the minutes from our meeting on Weds. February 21:

Treasurer’s Report
$ 1172.53

The club voted to pay for the hotel used by those who traveled to Nationals in January. The price was approximately $300.

AgrAbility Speaker
The speaker has changed the date of her talk, so we will be speaking with her and presenting her with the check from Ag Carnival on Weds, March 14 during our usually meeting time and place.

UPenn Vet Panel
We are currently making final preparations with the students and getting a room. This panel will be open to all students in the University, and will most likely be held in Townsend during a time that is separate from our usual meeting.

Carwash
The car wash has been changed to Saturday, March 10th. This will be on a Saturday. We are in the final preparations, and just need to meet with the owner.

Ag Day
We are currently holding a T-shirt design contest for our Ag Day shirts. The theme of Ag Day is “Rooted in the past, branching into the future.” Shirts can stay within this theme, or go in a totally different direction. The T-shirt deadline is April 4th, at which time, the entries will be voted upon, and the top two finishers will get a prize. Please email your entries to jenp@udel.edu.

Banquet
The social committee has picked up some menus and information from some restaurants around Main Street. If any one can find any other places to hold banquet within a 15 mile radius, that would be great. Please bring your information to the next meeting.

Regionals
Regionals is this weekend. For all people who are going, here is some information.
What is going to happen:
We will be meeting on Friday at 3:30 in the Russell lot, and taking university vans to Penn State. We will check into the hotel, and we have the rest of the evening to ourselves. We will probably do some quiz bowl practice, and let the presenters practice as well.
On Saturday, we will be getting up early, bundling up, and heading to judging. Some of the species we will be evaluating are Percheron horses, Shorthorn beef cattle, and Hampshire sheep. Then, we will go to some building for quiz bowl/presentations. Lunch will be served during this time. Once this is done, we go back to the hotel and get ready for the dinner banquet and dance. On Sunday, the hotel will have a continental breakfast from 6:30 to 8, and we can leave at any time. The vans will most likely be leaving at staggered times.
What to bring:
Warm cloths – jeans, sweatshirt, boots, long sleeve for judging
Bring your blue Ag Day shirt from last year, if you don’t have one, we have extras. This will be for quiz bowl
Presenters dress business casual (you can change from your judging cloths to your nice ones) – slacks/khakis with nice shirts
Banquet – dressy
Dance – comfortable “party” cloths.

This all for now, see everyone next week.
