II. Dues:
This week was the last call for dues. If you still haven’t paid and need to work something out, contact Dawn at dlenihan@udel.edu.

III. Our Halloween party last Wednesday was recapped. There was great food, great costumes, and a lot of fun. If anyone has any pictures from the event, please send them to Stacy at sgreen@udel.edu or Michelle at mlapera@udel.edu so they can sort through them for the scrapbook!

IV. Movie Night:
Tomorrow night, Thursday November 8th, is AgCC Movie Night! “Super Size Me” will be shown in 132 Townsend Hall at 7pm. It is co-hosted by us and the Food Science Club, and free chips and drinks will be provided. Feel free to bring a pillow and get cozy!

V. Steve Cook Trip:
We will be going to Steve Cook’s farm to help out this Saturday, November 10th. We are meeting and leaving at 8:15am in Lot 19, but please show up earlier. We will be unloading hay, spreading stone, dehorning calves, fixing up calf hutches, setting up for farrowing and kidding, and maybe halter breaking animals. We will also get some practice for Regionals and Nationals with livestock judging. A free lunch will be provided, and make sure to dress very warm in layers!
*If you would like to go and haven’t signed up, please email me at kkoenig@udel.edu and let me know.
*If you are coming and have a car, please bring it to Lot 19 to help carpool everyone.

VI. Aquarium Trip:
We will be going to the Camden Aquarium on Saturday, November 17th! We will also get a behind-the-scenes tour courtesy of Megan Wolters  We will meet in Lot 19 at 10am to carpool there. It will be $13 per person, but bring extra money to buy lunch when we are there. Hopefully we can pay for parking through the club, but we will let you know on a later date.
