We are mainly there to answer the children’s questions, face painting, and watching the kids to make sure they are not disruptive to the animals. There will also be activity sheets for swine, which includes coloring. If you ordered the Ag Day shirts, please wear them. If you don’t have a current one, but have one from the last several years, please wear that. If you don’t have any, wear Delaware attire. If you are setting up on Friday, meet at 2:30.

Hey everyone,
Here are the minutes from our meeting held on 4/18 at California Tortilla

Ag Day
By request of the Ag Day committee, we are adding some animals (cow, calf, piglets, in addition to our sheep). We are still focusing on our sheep, and should be a larger area for our animals. Also, we still need people to sign up for Ag Day, especially our last shift (3-5). Remember, you won’t be considered an active member unless you volunteer for at least one shift. Attached is the current shift schedule.

Advisor Appreciation Luncheon
AgCC sponsors an advisor appreciation luncheon each year. This year it is on May 17th (reading day) in the TNS commons. Please nominate either your academic or club advisors. Nominations are available in the Talk of Townsend or in the AgCC mailbox in 104 TNS. They are due May 2nd.

AgCC Officer Nominations
AgCC needs a new board of officers for next year. There are 7 positions open (Pres, VP, Treasurer, Secretary, and 3 members at large). If you are interested, you can talk to most of the current exec board (Danielle, Jen, Stacy and Jenna). Applications are due in the AgCC mailbox on May 23rd, and they are available in 104 TNS.

Banquet
Our end of the year banquet has been booked for May 16th at 5:30 at Klondike Kate’s. Next meeting will be the last day to sign up!!! If you are interested in going, please email me (jenp@udel.edu).

Officer Nominations
We will be making officer nominations on May 2nd, and have elections on May 9th. So think about if you want to run for a position next year.

Photo CD
The e-board was wondering what the interest would be in a photo CD of the ANSC Club exploits of the past year. They will cost $3.50 if we get more then 31 interested people. Let me know if you are interested (jenp@udel.edu)

Extra T-shirts
As of right now, there are no extra t-shirts. However, Chelsea and Matt are taking a list of people interested in getting a re-order of the shirt, so if you are interested in getting a shirt (it won’t be until after Ag Day), email either of them (cberdolt@udel.edu or mmullin@udel.edu)

Reminder for Next Week
Please bring all Ag Day posters and supplies if needed to the meeting next week!

See you next week

Hey everyone, here are the minutes from our meeting on 4/11

Treasurer’s Report
$ 698.44

Speaker
Today we had Dr. Tanya Gressley, the newest faculty member in the Department of Animal and Food Science as our speaker. She spoke about her research as a masters, doctoral, and post-doctoral student at University of Maryland and University of Wisconsin. Here at Delaware, she hopes to do research on cow clock genes. She will start teaching Dairy Production in spring 2008, and will either teach lactational physiology or a sophomore level physiology class in 2009.

Ag Day T-Shirts
So here’s the deal with the t-shirts, they are done, however, through a case of untraceable miscommunication, they were printed backwards. I will attach a copy of what the shirt looks like. The sheep will be on the front, and the words across the back. Email me tonight with your opinion. If the majority of people want a reprinting of the shirt correctly, I have to call Taylor’s Ink tomorrow morning. There will be an additional $3 charge/shirt so that he can recup his costs. Think about this. If the shirts will be distributed as is, the cost will be $11.50 (since there are two large designs). Payment would preferably be by check, made out to Animal Science Club.

Banquet
Due to time constraints, we have made an executive decision to have our banquet at Kate’s. If everything goes as planned, the banquet will be on Wednesday, May 16th (the last day of classes), starting at 5:30. More details will come.

Ag Day
Ag Day sign up was today. In accordance with our constitution, to be considered an active member, you must work at least one shift at Ag Day. We are trying to have 6 people per shift. The first shift will be responsible for set up, and the last shift will be responsible for clean up. Here’s what we have so far, if you want to sign up, please request an unfilled position first, and if you can’t work at any other time, a second choice.
