VII. Announcement:
The following is a portion of an email we received:
“I am a kindergarten teacher at Bank of America Child Development Center and we are having a fall festival on Tuesday October 28 from 9–12. We are looking for Ag Ambassadors that could come out that could tell out preschool and kindergarten children about the farm and agriculture. We are open to any ideas because we are trying to go in a different direction for out fall family event. My classroom has been to the farm and loved being with the students. Any help would be appreciated.”
Please email Lorna at lorna@udel.edu if you are interested in helping out.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, October 8th.
It will be held in 123 Memorial Hall at 5:30pm and there will be committee meetings.
See you there!

Animal Science Club Minutes 9/17/08
I. Community Day
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped out at our tent! We raised $39.07 for the Delaware Humane Society, but the club voted to increase our donation to a flat $50. We are making up the difference using the club’s account money. Pat Carol, who works with the DE Humane Society, is our club’s founding father, and could be a potential speaker, personally came to our tent and thanked us for our donation.
II. Dues
Every year, members pay one fee to the Animal Science Club. These can be turned into our treasurer, Dawn, as soon as possible.

III. Cowtown Rodeo!
We are going to Cowtown Rodeo this Saturday, September 20th. We will meet at 5:00pm in Lot 19 to carpool there. Please try to make it on time so we can get there early enough to buy our group tickets and see the opening celebration. It will be $10 to get in because we have more than 25 people going.
The signup will be available until this Friday night. If you would still like to sign up, please email me at kkoenig@udel.edu with your name, cell phone number, and if you can drive (how many?). Also, it is very important to let me know if you signed up and no longer can make it.
