V. Ag Day!
o Ag Day is on Saturday, April 26th, from 10am-4pm.
o The theme will be Sustaining Life from Soil to Sky.
o We are collecting T-shirt ideas now for the “Top 10 Reasons We Love Animal Science”. We also need a color scheme for the shirts. Please email Jen (jenp@udel.edu) with any sayings/color ideas, and she can compile them and bring them to attention at upcoming meetings.
o We are planning on having dairy cattle, sheep, and chickens (plus a Blue Hen) at our site. Plus, Dr. Griffiths suggested we could possibly use her pigmy goats and possibly one of her horses for our display as well.
o We will check the posters from last year to see which ones can be reused, and plan to make new ones for this year.
o We are also planning on having demonstrations throughout the day including sheep sheering, sheep hoof trimming, and cow milking.
o Facepainting will be available for the kids.
o We will discuss and vote next week on whether or not we should make balloon animals as well.
o Remember, to be an active member of the club, you must help one shift at Ag Day. Signups will circulate at the meeting 2 weeks from now.
VI. We held nominations and elections for a new Social Chair position. Dan Lantz is now our new Social Committee Chair for the rest of the year, congratulations!
VII. There were three important announcements at the end of our meeting. They are as follows:
o Tomorrow, Thursday, February 28th, is the AgCC Ag Spring Social! There will be free pizza and soda, and everyone in the Ag College is invited. It will be in the Trabant Multipurpose Room B from 6:30-8:30pm, hope to see you there!
o Ag Ambassador applications are due this Friday, February 29th. Please bring them to 104 Townsend. If you have any questions, email Jen (jenp@udel.edu).
o PROUD is holding a fundraiser at Friendly’s (down South College Ave) on Tuesday, March 4th. The club needs at least 100 people to come purchase something, even if it is a soda or scoop of ice cream, to get proceeds. Please come out to help out your fellow club members Cheri and Rocket!
**Our next meeting will be Wednesday, March 5th at 6pm. Remember, we are meeting at California Tortilla on Main Street instead of Memorial Hall for a dinner meeting!**

V. End of the year banquet

More information to be announced on a later date.
VI. Club Sweatshirts

The design is up for debate, so bring your ideas to the next couple meetings or email them to Michelle at mlapera@udel.edu.
VII. Constitution revisions
The club constitution is currently being revised, and it must be done by this spring. Each change that is made must be voted upon by the whole club, so we will begin to vote and discuss changes in the upcoming meetings. When it is completed, I will send out a completely revised copy.
