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. 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”
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.
IV. Kilby Cream
Instead of a meeting next Wednesday, September 24th, we are taking a field trip to Kilby Cream for a tour of their dairy farm and ice cream parlor. We will meet in Lot 19 to carpool at 5:15pm. We will roughly get back around 7:30pm.
We passed out the signup sheet this week, but it is still available to sign via email. If you would like to go, please email me at kkoenig@udel.edu with your name, cell phone number, and if you can drive (how many?).
V. Ag Carnival
Ag Carnival will be held on Saturday, October 4th from 10am – 2pm. Teams of 6 to 10 people will be randomly made, and we will compete in all sorts of fun games against other Ag clubs and organizations! For each team we need to contribute an event, and ours are as follows: Day in the Life of a Farmer, Animal Noises (with blindfolds), and Dizzy Izzy. We will also host the AgrAbility Auction, in which we need items to auction off. The social committee is currently working on formulating a letter to ask businesses to donate to the cause. If you are interested in helping out, please contact the social chair, Holly Powers (hpowers@udel.edu).
VI. AgCC
The Agricultural College Counsel meets every other Tuesdays (odd numbered days) to discuss the social goings-on of the Ag School. They host many events including Ag Carnival. Study Breaks, and Socials. The Animal Science Club would like to send 2 – 3 representatives each meeting and get our voices heard! This is a fantastic leadership opportunity, and will earn AgCC points for our club (so we can have a shot at winning a prize!). If you are interested in being a representative for one or more meetings, please email Lorna at lorna@udel.edu and let her know.
