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.

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.

Hey everyone, here are the minutes for the Animal Science club held on February 7, 2007.
Treasurer’s Report
$239.33
National’s Recap
A group of our members went to Florida over winter break for the National Block and Bridle convention. They listened to guest speakers and toured local agriculture establishments, including a horse farm.
AgrAbility Speaker
We are hoping to get a speaker from AgrAbility for Weds, Feb 28. This would be the meeting after Regionals, so there would not be a lot to discuss. We will present the check from our auction at Ag Carnival to her.
Other Speaker Ideas
There is a new dairy professor at the ag school, so maybe we can ask her to come and speak about her previous research and what she plans to do here.
There is also the possibility to get a wildlife rehabilitator as a speaker, as well as some UPenn vet students who are alumni of UD.
Carwash
We are hoping to have a car wash on a Saturday in Mid-March. We can either sell something while we wash cars, or just have a donation jar. We would like some ideas of what we can sell, so please send any ideas that you have to Kaitlyn at kaitlyn@udel.edu.
Ag Day Prep
Ag Day is our big activity in the spring. It is held every year on the last Saturday of April. While that may seem like a long time from now, it comes up a lot quicker then you would think. One thing that always bogs us down is t-shirt ideas, so your job is to start thinking of t-shirt ideas for the club. They usually consist of a little drawing on the back with a witty saying. Also, we always do a little bit of an education portion, and this year we were thinking of keeping it to one species, probably sheep. So if people could think of what posters we could make about sheep, that would be great.
Regionals
Regionals will be held Feb 23 – Feb 25th at Penn State. If you are registered, please email me (jenp@udel.edu) Thanks.
See you next week!
