Hello everyone, here are the minutes from our meeting held on 2/28/2007

Treasurer’s Report
$ 1547.53
We voted that everyone who went to regionals would pay $20 for the hotel to help to ease the cost.

Ag Day
Our t-shirt design contest ends on April 4th. Everyone with ideas please email me as soon as possible (jenp@udel.edu).
Just as advance notice, the Ag Day Planning class is requiring that each club provide at least 3 people to help set up on the Friday before Ag Day from 3-5 to help set up, and 3 people at the end of the day on Saturday.

Ag Day Posters
The educational parts of Ag Day (our posters) will be judged this year. They will be judged on its appeal to all ages, interactive, educational value, creativity, and the use of the Ag Day theme. Each of our committees came up with a poster idea.
Service
Sheep dogs and what they do
Pre-vet
Fun facts
Fundraising
Sheep around the world (numbers, types etc)
Livestock
How to shear a sheep
Social
A poster quiz for the end of the posters

Committee Reports
Our committees met this meeting, and here are the updates.
Service
The AgrAbility speaker will be coming on March 14th. We’re going to try to meet in 132 TNS.
Steve Cook is having his sale on March 31st. We feel that helping him out before that would be too much in this month, so we’re going to try to email him to see if there’s a time after the March 31st that we could help out.
Pre-vet
The UPenn Vet panel is going to meet either on 3/19 or 3/21 (a M or W) in 132 TNS at around 6:30. Right now we’re trying to figure out what the best day for the vet students is. We’ll probably start at 6:30 with a short period to mingle with the students, and then we’ll have about an hour (7-8) for the panel. Right now it’s looking like there will be mostly 1st and 2nd year students, including a VMD/PhD student. We’re also looking at opening the panel to the entire college.
Fundraising
Our carwash is on Saturday, March 10th, from 8am -3pm. There will be 4 shifts with 6 people each. The car wash is at Newark carwash on Elkton Rd. We will be selling some snacks and soda while there. Next week we will be making signs to advertise stuff. We have a facebook group (http://delaware.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2246343834&ref=nf), so invite your friends!
Livestock
We are working on getting the newest professor coming to speak to the club.

Other Stuff
Ag Ambassadors
Ag Ambassadors are currently taking applications. They are available online or in 104 TNS. They must be returned to 104 TNS by March 9th.

Alpha Zeta Kickball Tourney
AZ has tentatively scheduled a charity kickball tournament for April 15th. More information to follow.

Sweatshirts
We are thinking about getting animal science sweatshirts. They should cost about $20. So think of ideas!

5K Run
There is a 5K run this Sunday that benefits the Women Moving Forward, which provides exercise equipment and nutritional education for lower income women in Wilmington. The run starts at the towers. Email Kaitlyn form more information (kaitlyn@udel.edu).

Regionals
Regionals was last weekend at Penn State. The secret category was bison, and we had a lot of fun. Next years regionals will be close by at Del Val.

I hope to see everyone next week!
