Animal Science Club Minutes 9/10/08

I. Dues
Every year, members pay one fee to the Animal Science Club. These can be turned into our treasurer, Dawn, starting next week. You must pay dues to be an active member of the club, which lets you participate in NESA, attend the end of the year banquet, vote in club elections, and other various things.
o New members – $15
o Returning members – $10
o This can be paid in cash or a check made out to “Animal Science Club”

II. Community Day
Community Day is this Sunday, September 14th from 10:00am–5:00pm. We will have a table set up that will be run in 1.5 hour shifts from 9:30am–5:30pm. Our table will be located on the green north of Memorial Hall in front of DuPont Hall. There will be facepainting, a fish toss game, and balloon animals (1–2pm). All proceeds made at our table will be donated to the Delaware Humane Society.
We signed up for shifts at this meeting. If you signed up, expect a reminder email in the next day or so.

III. Cowtown Rodeo!
We are going to Cowtown Rodeo Saturday, September 20th. We will meet at 5:00pm in Lot 19 to carpool there. It will be $10 to get in if 25+ people sign up, but we don’t think that will be a problem.
Signups started this past meeting and will be available to sign next week. If you would like to sign up before then, please email me at kkoenig@udel.edu with your name, cell phone number, and if you can drive (how many?).

IV. Committee Chair positions available!
Committees were explained during the meeting (please see other attachments for descriptions). Each committee (excluding Fundraising) needs a chairperson. We will nominate members, listen to speeches, and vote next week. If you plan on running, please be prepared to get up and give a short speech about yourself and why you think you are a good candidate for the position. If you cannot be here, please send me your name and position you are running for via email (kkoenig@udel.edu). You can either send me your speech to read to the club or give it to someone who will be there and is willing to read it on your behalf.

V. Fundraising Idea: Pumpkin Sale!
On the week of Halloween, we are holding a pumpkin sale on the Trabant patio. We can purchase each good-sized pumpkin from a farm for about $5. On a later date, we can agree on prices, shifts, and advertisement as a club, so start brainstorming!
