Philadelphia Zoo Internship
*Please remind your students about the upcoming intern information session on Saturday, November 11 at **2pm.** Thanks!*
It is that time of year again, and we at the Zoo are looking forward to working with your students!
If you have students that are interested in careers with animals, a Philadelphia Zoo internship is a "should" experience.
If you have students that are interested in a career at a zoo or aquarium, a Philadelphia Zoo internship is a "must" experience.
The Philadelphia Zoo, America's first zoo, is dedicated to its mission of conservation, science, education and recreation. Our core purpose is to advance discovery, understanding and stewardship of the natural world through compelling exhibition and interpretation of living plants and animals.
One of the ways the Philadelphia Zoo fulfills its mission is through our internship program. Zoo staff train tomorrow's conservation leaders to care for animals and educate the public about their role in protecting our natural world.
On *Saturdays, November 11, January 20 and March 3 at **2pm** *the Philadelphia Zoo invites biology, animal science, zoo science, environmental science, zoology, environmental education and museum education students to the Zoo to meet Zoo staff to discuss internship opportunities. Students will have a chance to hear from Zoo staff that supervise interns, ask questions about the internships and take tours of the internship areas that involve animal care.
Please advertise this information on your career service websites and event calendars. I would also greatly appreciate you forwarding this information to professors and department chairs of the aforementioned disciplines. I have attached descriptions of our animal care related internships. Please pass on this information to interested parties.
Students can email me directly at malone.maureen@phillyzoo.org <mailto:malone.maureen@phillyzoo.org> to sign up to attend an information session. I will then provide students with transportation, parking and location information.
If you would like a flyer about the information session or have another format that you would like me to send this information, please let me know.
Thank you for your attention to this request,

If you are not going to be able to attend and you are on this list, it is your responsibility to let me know!
Nationals
If you are interested in attending the National Convention this winter in Florida, please email Jenna at jscib@udel.edu for more information.
Committee Meetings
Pre-Vet: Looking into a speaker (Dr. Dyer?) or a trip to the New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania.
Livestock: a possible guest speaker from Hatfield tentatively scheduled for the 18th of this month.
Service: A trip to Steve Cooks farm is being scheduled for the end of November.
Social: The zoo trip is in the works. We are also thinking of having a Halloween Potluck. It will probably be sometime during the weekend of the 27th, 28th or 29th. This is parents weekend, and I think a nice potluck dinner on a Sunday night would be nice. This will be discussed more after Ag Carnival.
Fundraising: Amanda Kilby may still need help at her families festivities. Email akilby@udel.edu for more information. It is on Sunday the 15th. We really, really need fundraising ideas. One was working concessions at a Blue Rock game, but the season is rapidly coming to a close, so we’d have to plan that for next spring probably. Email any fundraising ideas to dsmarsh@udel.edu.
See you on Saturday for anyone participating in Ag Carnival, if not, I’ll see you next week!
Thursday, September 21, 2006
Hey everyone, here are the minutes for the meeting held on September 20th.
Treasurer’s Report
The account is at $1312.60
Dues
The last day for dues is at next weeks meeting (September 27th). New member dues are $15 and returning member dues are $10.
Newark Community Day
We made $142.50 in donations. Good job! Again, the most popular attraction was face painting, although the fish did bring a good amount of people as well.
Cowtown Rodeo
We are going to Cowtown Rodeo this Saturday. Cowtown was called, and we can have one person in line with the money to buy tickets. Tickets are $8/person. Please try your best to bring exact change. The rodeo starts at 7:30, and we were advised to be there at 6:30. Please arrive at the Russell Lot at 5:30, we will be leaving at 5:45. The Russell Lot is behind the Russell Complex, right of Lovett and Haines. An attached list will have all the people signed up for Cowtown. If you are on the list and cannot make it, please email me at jenp@udel.edu. If you are not on the list and would like to come, email me as well, including name, if you can drive, and if so, how many people can fit in your car.
Kilby Cream
Next weeks meeting will be a social/educational event at Kilby Cream. Kilby Cream is a creamery owned by the family of club member Amanda Kilby. It is about 20-30 minutes away in Cecil county, Maryland. We will be having ice cream and seeing how it’s made. We will be meeting in the Russell Lot at around 5:15-5:30, and leaving as close to 5:30 as we can. So do not go to Sharp Lab next week! Attached is a list of people who have signed up. If you have decided you don’t want to go, please email me. If you haven’t signed up and would like to come, email me with you name, if you can drive, and if so, how many people.
No Show, No Call Policy
With so many trips coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to review the no call no, no show policy. If you sign up for an event, and cannot attend, it is your responsibility to let someone know. We do not want to be late for events because someone does not show up. Also, all members get points for attendance. Points can be used at the end of semesters, usually as discounted or free admission to an event. You will lose a point for each no call, no show. Again, please be responsible and let someone know if you are not going to attend an event you signed up for.
Ag Carnival
Ag Carnival is fast approaching. Ag Carnival is on Saturday, October 7th. Animal Science Club is sponsoring the charity auction benefiting AgrAbility. Flyers were passed out this meeting for handing out to the public. Do not put flyers on the walls or bulletin boards on campus, they are not stamped. However, you can put them on your doors in the dorms. Our goal is to get the public out to the auction, which begins at 1. So, if you have family or friends in the area, try to get them to come out! Also, we are still trying to come up with a list of things to auction, so everybody that has ideas or definite things to auction, email Jenna at jscib@udel.edu.
Stacy made letters to mail to our alumni asking them to either come and bid, or for help donating objects or services. Thank you, Stacy.
Attached is a list of people signed up for Ag Carnival. I have arbitrarily put you into 3 teams. These teams are not final. If you are not on the list and would like to participate in Ag Carnival, please email me. If you are on the list and either can’t do Ag Carnival, or are going to be on another team, email me! Thanks.
I’ll see you next week! Remember, we are meeting in the Russell Lot for a trip to Kilby Cream.

Our trip to cowtown rodeo is on Saturday, September 23. The price is $8/person for the group rate or $12/person individual.

If you are interested in going and have not signed up, or have signed up and have since realized you can not go, please email me at jenp@udel.edu.
Ag Carnival
Ag Carnival is on Saturday, October 7. We have decided not to sponsor a physical event, but instead to concentrate on our AgrAbility auction. Please bring ideas of what we can get to auction off. Some ideas from today are tickets to a sporting event/zoo/aquarium, we can contact a beef farmer for some cuts of meat, gym membership, or peddle tractors. If you have more ideas please email Jenna at (jschib@udel.edu). In addition to thinking of things to get donated, we also have to start publicizing the event to bring in people from the community who have money. If you are interested in being on a team and have not already signed up, please email me at jenp@udel.edu.
Steve Cook
Every year we try to go to Steve Cooks farm. So far there are several possible dates at the end of the fall where we can help Steve prepare beef cows for show or vaccinate sows before farrowing. There is no sign up yet, but be prepared for future information.

This event is a leadership event with one day of tours of local agriculture facilities and one day of speakers.

Animal Science Club traditionally sponsors both a physical event, and a charity auction to help AgrAbility. AgrAbility is an organization that helps disabled farmers in the Delmarva area.

Please bring ideas for an event or auction item to our next meeting.
Committees
At the end of the meeting we voted on committee chairs and then broke into committee meetings. All active members must be on a committee.
Fundraising Committee
The fundraising committee is chaired by our treasurer, Danielle Smarsh. There most important thing right now is deciding on who to donate to from our Community Day donations.

They were also thinking about doing clean up at places like Dovar Downs and after football games to get paid for our time.

The pre-vet committee is being co-chaired by Vincent Baldanza and Tom Hart. Right now, they are thinking of possible speakers, such as a bird/wildlife vet, and equine vet, or a possible trip to Camden Aquarium.
Social Committee
The social committee is being co-chaired by Chelsea Berdolt and Matt Mullin. Right now, the social chairs are helping to organize the trip to Cowtown, and a possible social event at Kilby Cream ice cream parlor with a tour around the dairy farm. They are also thinking of ice breakers to do at the beginning of meetings so everyone gets to know the new members.
Livestock Committee
The livestock committee is being chaired by Lisa Brody. They are thinking about a possible speaker from Hatfield.
Service Committee
The service committee is being chaired by Erin Stough. The service committee is planning service activities at Delaware Humane and possibly having a blanket and food drive for dogs and cats.

We are planning a trip to the Baltimore Zoo at the end of the month. More information will be forthcoming.
Meeting Agenda:
For the first meeting we had a social event to introduce our new members to each other and to our old members. We made, and ate delightfully sweet ice cream.
Information for interested students who could not attend this meeting:
I apologize for the late email with the information, but there was some miscommunication with Event Services. For those of you who could not attend, do not worry. In fact, we really hope that you attend our next meeting. For those that can not attend due to class/lab conflict do not worry either. We hold many weekend events that you are encouraged to participate in, and you can always start attending business meetings in future semesters. Don’t let your class conflicts discourage you from being a part of the club.
Next meeting:
For now, the meeting next week will be in the same place at the same time. However, there will be another email next week confirming the location, as the room we were in was less than optimal, we’re going to try to fix that. For now, we will be meeting in 103 Sharp Lab at 5:30. For those who don’t know where Sharp Lab is, it is the building next to Gore Hall on E. Delaware.
Next meeting we will be deciding on committee chairs. Please consider being a chairperson.
Social Committee: Committee duties include planning social events which promote fellowship among members.
Fundraising Committee: Committee duties are to design and run fundraising activities for the club. The Treasurer shall serve as Chair of this committee.
Livestock Committee: This committee is responsible for organizing and planning all livestock activities. The livestock committee should arrange for at least one guest speaker per semester.
Pre-vet Committee: this committee is responsible for organizing and planning all pre-vet, companion animal, and exotic animal activities. The pre-vet committee should arrange for at least one guest speaker and/or event per semester.
Community Service Committee: this committee is responsible for planning all community service events.
Please keep in mind that all active members must serve on a committee, so if you don’t want to be a chair, please think about which one you would like to help out with.
We have a lot of exciting events planned for this semester. See you next week.

For the first meeting we had a social event to introduce our new members to each other and to our old members. We made, and ate delightfully sweet ice cream.
Information for interested students who could not attend this meeting:
I apologize for the late email with the information, but there was some miscommunication with Event Services. For those of you who could not attend, do not worry. In fact, we really hope that you attend our next meeting. For those that can not attend due to class/lab conflict do not worry either. We hold many weekend events that you are encouraged to participate in, and you can always start attending business meetings in future semesters. Don’t let your class conflicts discourage you from being a part of the club.
Next meeting:
For now, the meeting next week will be in the same place at the same time. However, there will be another email next week confirming the location, as the room we were in was less than optimal, we’re going to try to fix that. For now, we will be meeting in 103 Sharp Lab at 5:30. For those who don’t know where Sharp Lab is, it is the building next to Gore Hall on E. Delaware.
Next meeting we will be deciding on committee chairs. Please consider being a chairperson.
Social Committee: Committee duties include planning social events which promote fellowship among members.
Fundraising Committee: Committee duties are to design and run fundraising activities for the club. The Treasurer shall serve as Chair of this committee.
Livestock Committee: This committee is responsible for organizing and planning all livestock activities. The livestock committee should arrange for at least one guest speaker per semester.
Pre-vet Committee: this committee is responsible for organizing and planning all pre-vet, companion animal, and exotic animal activities. The pre-vet committee should arrange for at least one guest speaker and/or event per semester.
Community Service Committee: this committee is responsible for planning all community service events.
Please keep in mind that all active members must serve on a committee, so if you don’t want to be a chair, please think about which one you would like to help out with.
We have a lot of exciting events planned for this semester. See you next week.

Hey Animal Science Club!
We had our last business meeting of the semester on 5/3. Here are the minutes from the meeting:
Treasurer's Report
Account: $553.78
*We made $170 from donations and $119 from the Plant Sale on Ag Day!!*
Ag Day Report
Although Ag Day was a success overall, and we hope everyone had a great time.. there's always room for improvement. One of the problems we had was with kids feeding the animals with the rations they had mixed. Also, some of us felt that we might have stretched ourselves a bit thin and had too many things going on (facepainting, plant sale, mixing feed, the animals, etc.). Ideas for next Ag day include: have one cohesive theme, condense our activities, do demonstrations throughout the day (the sheep shearing was a hit!), less animal pens?, educate club members about the animals before Ag Day, and have a better layout under the tent.
Also.. don't forget to give Jenna your late t-shirt payments of $5!
Banquet
The Banquet is this coming Wednesday, 5/11 at 5:30pm at Timothy's. We will be meeting in the Russell lot at 5pm to carpool over. If you haven't already paid Jenna, remember to give her your money for Banquet! ($10 for active club members and $19 for non-active/non members.)
Advisor Appreciation nominations
AgCC is collecting nominations for the best advisor of the year. This can be an advisor from a club, academic advisor, lab, etc. A 1-page typed nomination is due by May 9th to the AgCC mailbox in 104 TNS, or you can email it to Stacy at sgreen@udel.edu. There will be a free luncheon on Reading Day (May 18th) from 12-2 in the Commons to recognize the winner. Even if your advisor doesn't win.. he/she will still get a note in recognition for being nominated.. so send in those nominations!
Elections
Here are our new officers for next year:
President: Jenna Scibilia
Vice President: Kaitlyn Lutz
Treasurer: Danielle Smarsh
Secretary: Jen Puttress
Historians: Stacy Green and Michelle Lapera
Congratulations, guys! Also, as part of their election speeches, everyone gave some fundraising ideas for next year.. these include: ping pong-ball toss for a goldfish (either an actual fish, or a coupon for one), donate time to clean-up an event for money (Dover Downs, the Bob for Concerts?), sell baked goods in front of Walmart (they'll double the profits), sell pizza or lollipops, try and sell general ANSC t-shirts, spaghetti dinner, or sponsor a movie night (or other event) and sell popcorn, candy, etc.
Miscellaneous
-Sally mentioned the ANSC Club in the AgrAbility newsletter!
-Please send in your club pictures to Jen at jenp@udel.edu
-Meeting time for next semester: 5:30pm Wednesdays (keep this in mind when doing your schedules)
Alright. Thus concludes my last minutes to the ANSC Club as Secretary. It's been great fun, and I hope that everyone has enjoyed reading them these past two years. >tear< I look forward to seeing you all at the Banquet this Wednesday for one last hoorah!

Hello Animal Science Club!
Wednesday's meeting started off with a guest speaker, Dr. Culp, who is a UD ANSC Club Alumnus and Veterinarian in the Army Corps. Hopefully everyone enjoyed his presentation and found it informative! For those of you pursuing veterinary school, keep in mind the scholarship and funding opportunities provided by the Veterinary Army Corps! We also had two representatives from Huntingdon Life Sciences tell us about position and internship availabilities (www.huntingdon.com). Following our guest speakers, there was a short business meeting.
Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,029.30
Plant Sale
Plant Sale Forms were handed out at the meeting. Pick-up for the plants will be on May 11th.
Ag Day
Ag Day is next Saturday!! A sign-up sheet for shifts (set-up, general Ag Day, and clean-up) was sent around. Please email Carolyn at cschnek@udel.edu to sign-up for a shift if you weren't at the meeting. Also, because the Ag Day t-shirts were a little more expensive than we had planned, we're asking that members pay $5 for a shirt to help cover costs. You can pay for your shirt either at next meeting or at Ag Day.
Tour of Dairy
A few of our members helped give a tour of our dairy to two disabled women before the meeting. Despite a rocky start (flat tire), all went well, and the women were very appreciative. Nice job, guys!
Officer Elections
We will have nominations for next year's officers at the next meeting. So start thinking about positions that you would be interested in!
Banquet
Our Banquet will be on May 10th at Timothy's. We will send around a sign-up sheet at the next meeting. Dress for the Banquet is "nice"--aka, no jeans or sneakers. You don't have to get super fancy, but this is our chance to get dressed up a bit.. so have fun with it. Also, please send in your award nominations to one of the officers (not to someone you're nominating, though)!!!
Miscellaneous
Concerning the zoo trip for next semester, it looks like it's going to be too expensive to have a behind-the-scenes tour at the Philadelphia Zoo, so we're going to look into perhaps having Linda Pill show us around the Baltimore Zoo again. Also, we got a thank-you card from the AgrAbility speaker. She was very appreciative of all the money we raised for AgrAbility, and she will keep us posted on how our donation will be spent.
That's it for this week's minutes. See you all at next week's meeting on 5/26 at 5:30pm in MEM 111.

Hey Animal Science Club!
A big thanks to our guest speaker from Perdue! Following our speaker's presentation, there was a short business meeting. Here are the minutes from this past Wednesday's meeting:
Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,029.30
Next Week
Before next week's meeting on 4/19, a few of our members will be giving a tour of the dairy to a disabled woman. If you are part of this group, please meet at 4pm at the dairy. Danielle will send out a reminder email next week.
Also, we will be having a guest speaker at next week's meeting: Dr. Culp from the Army Corps. We hope that you will come out and listen to what's sure to be an interesting presentation from Dr. Culp!
Ag Day
This year at Ag Day we're not going to have any of our conventional crafts. Instead, we will let the kids mix feed to form rations for typical ruminants or nonruminants. There will be posters explaining the nutritional requirements for ruminants (sheep) and nonruminants (chickens), and the kids will be able to bring home their mixed feed samples. In addition, we will have animals, plant sale forms, and AgrAbility posters.
We discussed what we should do about Ag Day shirts--if we should buy extras and sell them. As per vote of the club, we decided that the club will pay for the Tshirts and that we will buy about 15 extra shirts (5 small, 5 medium, and 5 large).
Plant Sale Forms
We are still waiting to hear back from Dr. Emara concerning the varieties of plants we will be selling.

There was a committee meeting about the High School Quiz Bowl, and Jenna reported on the committee's decisions. The committee had decided to appease the department by limiting the Quiz Bowl Competition to 4H high school kids, who may be interested in coming to UD, so that we could double our competition as a recruitment tool. However, Dan Severson brought up some concerns about our target audience and proposed "recruitment tool" plans. So, the committee will discuss this further and report back to us on a later date. They will be meeting with Dr. Gelb soon to discuss this and other issues.
AgCC Officers Needed
AgCC, which is composed of representatives from the different clubs in the Ag College, is looking for new officers for next year. If you are interested in nominating yourself, please contact Amanda at akilby@udel.edu for an application form. Also, mark your calendars for the Advisor Appreciation lunch on May 18th from 12-2 in the Commons.
Banquet
The ANSC club banquet will be held on May 10 at Timothy's. Please send any award nominations to Amanda, Jess, or Carolyn. **Don't send your nomination to the person you're nominating**
That's it from this week's meeting. See you at our next meeting on Wednesday, 4/19 at 5:30pm in 111 MEM!

Next Week
Before next week's meeting on 4/19, a few of our members will be giving a tour of the dairy to a disabled woman. If you are part of this group, please meet at 4pm at the dairy. Danielle will send out a reminder email next week.
Also, we will be having a guest speaker at next week's meeting: Dr. Culp from the Army Corps. We hope that you will come out and listen to what's sure to be an interesting presentation from Dr. Culp!
Ag Day
This year at Ag Day we're not going to have any of our conventional crafts. Instead, we will let the kids mix feed to form rations for typical ruminants or nonruminants. There will be posters explaining the nutritional requirements for ruminants (sheep) and nonruminants (chickens), and the kids will be able to bring home their mixed feed samples. In addition, we will have animals, plant sale forms, and AgrAbility posters.
We discussed what we should do about Ag Day shirts--if we should buy extras and sell them. As per vote of the club, we decided that the club will pay for the Tshirts and that we will buy about 15 extra shirts (5 small, 5 medium, and 5 large).
Plant Sale Forms
We are still waiting to hear back from Dr. Emara concerning the varieties of plants we will be selling.

Hello Animal Science Club!
I hope everyone is having a great Spring Break! Here are the minutes from last week's meeting:
Guest Speaker from AgrAbility
Sally Van Schaik came to talk to us about AgrAbility and how the organization has helped disabled farmers succeed in agriculture. Sometimes they need groups to help in building stairs, etc., so she will be in contact with us in the event that they could use our assistance with such a project. Also, she asked that if anyone has questions or ideas, or if you'd like to attend their Advisory Committee meeting, then you should contact her at svanschaik@gt.esdel.org or 877-204-FARM (3276). Our club has helped fund some of their projects, and Sally wanted to express her thanks for our generous donations. Before she left, we presented her with a check for AgrAbility in the amount of $595, which we raised during the auction for Ag Carnival.
Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,029.30

High School Judging/Quiz Bowl Competition
A meeting was scheduled (for outside of club business meetings) to discuss this idea further. If you are still interested in being a member of this committee, please email Jenna at jscib@udel.edu.
Service Activity
Steve Cook's didn't happen last Sunday, because the people who went got lost. In order to prevent this confusion for future trips to Steve Cook's farm, we talked about possibly posting directions to Steve's on our website. Unfortunately, the rest of our semester is rather busy, and Steve is busy throughout April, so we will not be able to reschedule Steve Cook's for this semester. Instead, as another service activity, we will look into helping out at the Delaware Humane Association sometime in April.
Animal Technician/Intern Needed
Melissa Goodson, a 2005 Animal Science UD Alumnus, wanted to spread the word that her company, Huntingdon Life Sciences, is expanding their toxicology department and is looking for technicians. This is a great opportunity for graduating Seniors looking for jobs in the field, or for an undergraduate who would like an internship for the Summer. Huntingdon Life Sciences, situated in central New Jersey, is one of the world's largest Contract Research Organizations. For more information, you can either get in contact with Melissa (862-432-6688) or you can check out the HLS website at http://www.huntingdon.com/.
Alright. That concludes the minutes from last week's meeting. Enjoy the rest of your Spring Break... and we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Wednesday, 4/5 at 5:30pm in MEM 111.

Hello Animal Science Club!
I hope everyone had a lovely Saint Patrick's Day! Here are the minutes from last week's meeting:
Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,118.79
Committee Reports
Service: Helping out at Steve Cook's is today, Sunday. A few members from the club will give a dairy tour for the disabled woman at around 4pm on Wednesday, April 19th (email dsmarsh@udel.edu if interested in helping!). Also, we will be having our AgrAbility Speaker, Sally, come talk to the club on Wednesday, March 22nd.
Pre-Vet: Dr. Pope was contacted and is really interested in talking to the club. He will be our Pre-Vet guest speaker on Wednesday, April 19th.
Livestock: We will have a guest speaker form Purdue on Wednesday, April 12th. Also, if you have any ideas concerning future Livestock committee-run activities, please email Kaitlyn at kaitlyn@udel.edu. A few suggestions included a behind-the-scenes tour at the Philadelphia Zoo or a visit to an Amish Farm.
Fundraising: Our Fundraising Committee Chair was not at the meeting, so we will discuss Plant Sale Forms and a date/location for the Car Wash at the next meeting.
Social: Our Banquet will be Timothy's on Wednesday, May 10th. Here are our choices for side dishes, meat and dessert. Please e-mail Robert at rcgood@udel.edu with your votes on the three items before Wednesday's meeting!
CHOOSE 2Queen Prime RibSirloin Au PoiveChicken MarsalaBroiled Flounder Buerre Blanc (Served in butter & White Wine Sauce)Asian Vegetable Stir FryChicken KievJerk Pork ChopsChicken Cordon Bleu
Served meals come with same sides and dessert options

All entrees are served with tossed or Caesar salad, hot tea, coffee or iced tea.
*Reminder to Committee Chairs: Please fill out event reports online on the Club's webpage!
Ag Day
We discussed some potential crafts for Ag Day, including picture frames, pig noses, duck or elephant puppets, or general paperbag puppets. We will finalize our Craft options at a future meeting. Also, we brainstormed some ideas for our educational posters, such as posters with farm animal information or interactive posters with velcro animals. We decided that the club will break-up into committees after Spring Break to further discuss/outline poster ideas. Instead of handmaking our posters this year, we thought we'd take it one step further and get them printed out (possibly laminated?). Dr. Griffiths also suggested that we include a "Who are you, and where are you now?" poster with pictures of Alumni and post-it-notes, so that Alumni can fill in their information. Lastly, concerning Ag Day t-shirts, Carolyn will get them printed at Taylor's Inc. If you are interested in getting an Animal Science Club Ag Day T-shirt, please contact Carolyn at cschnek@udel.edu.
High School Judging/Quiz Bowl Competition
Dr. Griffith's reported back on the Department's discussion of our High School Judging/Quiz Bowl Competition idea. The Department had a few primary concerns about our competition. First of all, they feel that we need to redefine our audience. We had originally intended our competition to be open to Delaware FFA and 4H clubs and Delaware High School students, with the hopes that this competition would get these students interested in possibly pursuing our program at UD. However, most Ag High School students aren't college-bound. So, we would need to redefine our population of interest to either Delaware Ag clubs or Delaware High School students, because these two populations are very different, and it would be hard to accommodate them both. Next, there is little to no support among the faculty to hold the livestock judging aspect of our competition. There are many reasons against livestock judging, namely, our farm doesn't have good classes of animals to judge from. Although one of our attempts with this competition is to "get the College of Ag back to 'Ag'," we have to keep in mind what is contemporary in the field. And the fact is, the field is moving away from livestock judging and focusing more on form and function. So we need to rethink a lot of things concerning our goals for this competition. If we leave out judging, should we have more of an academic triathlon? Also, perhaps we should include the Food Science Club? These are just a few of the concerns we need to address before we can move forward.
We would like to establish a committee that will be responsible for organizing this competition. If you are interested in being a member of the committee, please email Jenna at jscib@udel.edu.
Social Activity
Thanks to Robert, we had an Animal Science-related game of Jeopardy. Good game, everyone!
Alright. That concludes the minutes from last week's meeting. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Wednesday, 3/22. at 5:30pm in MEM 111. Remember that we will have our AgrAbility speaker at Wednesday's meeting!

Hello ANSC Club!
Hopefully everyone had a wonderful weekend. Here are the minutes from last week's meeting:
Treasurer's Report
Account: $1,074.30
Committee Reports
Service: Unfortunately, Steve Cook cannot accommodate us for the April 22nd date...however, he really needs help on March 18th or 19th. So if enough people could/can want to go, we could go on the 19th (next Sunday). Anyone who is interested should please email Danielle (dsmarsh@udel.edu) asap so she can be in touch with Steve! A few members from the club will give a dairy tour for the disabled woman at around 4pm on Wednesday, April 19th (email dsmarsh@udel.edu if interested in helping!). Also, we will be having our AgrAbility Speaker come talk to the club on Wednesday, March 22nd.
Pre-Vet: Concerning a Pre-Vet speaker for March 22nd, a few different people have been emailed, including a researcher on campus and an Army Corp. Vet. More information about our speaker next meeting.
Livestock: We will have a guest speaker form Purdue on Wednesday, April 12th.
Fundraising: The club voted on whether or not to hold a Car Wash or a Dog Wash or both. We decided to just concentrate on a Car Wash, and the location/date of the Car Wash will be discussed next meeting.
Social: We voted and decided that the location of our Banquet will be Timothy's, and it will be held on Wednesday, May 10th (clear your calendars!). Robert will look up a tentative menu and the club will be given options to choose from at a future date. Also, the club will discuss prices/person when it gets closer to the Banquet. *Reminder to Committee Chairs: Please fill out event reports online on the Club's webpage!
Regionals
Amanda took our thank-you card and cakes to the ANSC office on Monday. Also, notice that our accomplishments at NESA made it into Talk of Townsend... once again, congratulations to everyone who participated! Check out our website for photos from Regionals. http://copland.udel.edu/stu-org/ansci/
Ag Day T-shirt Vote
We voted on a club t-shirt design for Ag Day at the meeting. The club decided on Carolyn's idea with the "Duck, Duck, Blue Hen" theme. Please contact Carolyn if you would be interested in a shirt (cschnek@udel.edu).
Ag Day
As in previous years, the club will have a petting zoo, face painting, educational displays, and arts & crafts at Ag Day. Please start thinking of craft ideas, and we will vote on them at this week's meeting. Also, start thinking of ideas for our educational displays. (We will work on our posters/displays at the few meetings right before Ag Day.) Not only will our club need lots of help from members on Ag Day, but the Ag Day Class is also asking for volunteers. Please contact Sarah Moore at smoo@udel.edu if you are interested in volunteering. Also, consider submitting t-shirt ideas to the t-shirt design competition held by the Ag Day Class. Lastly, the club voted to donate money to Ag Day so that we will get our name put on the official Ag Day shirts.
High School Judging/Quiz Bowl Competition
Amanda and Jenna met with Dr. Gelb, the ANSC department chair, to discuss the practicality of our idea to hold an ANSC competition for Delaware High School students. They told him what we plan on doing and how it will benefit the ANSC Club and the Ag College. Dr. Gelb was enthusiastic about the idea, but he will have to discuss it with other faculty members at the next Department meeting. Dr. Gelb recommended that we keep it small-scale (just Delaware FFA clubs and High School students), and that we start looking into budgeting and donations. Also, we will need to set up a committee that will be responsible for planning this event, which we anticipate will be held in the Fall. Please start thinking about if you'd like to be a part/head of this committee.
Alright. That concludes the minutes from last week's meeting. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Wednesday the 15th at 5:30pm in MEM 111.

(We will work on our posters/displays at the few meetings right before Ag Day.) Not only will our club need lots of help from members on Ag Day, but the Ag Day Class is also asking for volunteers. Please contact Sarah Moore at smoo@udel.edu if you are interested in volunteering. Also, consider submitting t-shirt ideas to the t-shirt design competition held by the Ag Day Class. Lastly, the club voted to donate money to Ag Day so that we will get our name put on the official Ag Day shirts.
High School Judging/Quiz Bowl Competition
Amanda and Jenna met with Dr. Gelb, the ANSC department chair, to discuss the practicality of our idea to hold an ANSC competition for Delaware High School students. They told him what we plan on doing and how it will benefit the ANSC Club and the Ag College. Dr. Gelb was enthusiastic about the idea, but he will have to discuss it with other faculty members at the next Department meeting. Dr. Gelb recommended that we keep it small-scale (just Delaware FFA clubs and High School students), and that we start looking into budgeting and donations. Also, we will need to set up a committee that will be responsible for planning this event, which we anticipate will be held in the Fall. Please start thinking about if you'd like to be a part/head of this committee.
Alright. That concludes the minutes from last week's meeting. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Wednesday the 15th at 5:30pm in MEM 111.
