Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - 7:00
PM
Location - MISFITS Office, St. Paul, MN
In Attendance:
Officers -
Jodie,
Peter, Matt
Guests - Dave B., Dave K. & Cetius
Event Post Mortems
- Rex Movie Night -
John Grams suggested that attendance was low because of
Harry Potter. Attendance was 32 at the peak time. Next Year,
movie will start at 6 PM, and the movie has to be family
friendly. Matt suggested that officers get to help choose
movies or pick less esoteric movies. Jodie suggested moving
it to January or February next year. Decision on theme needs
to be made earlier.
- Staff Appreciation
Party - People there had fun. Peter suggested not doing
it again, perhaps a picnic or something. Jodie suggested
something less exclusive (one volunteer hour or more).
Combine it with the MISFITS picnic.

information to Jodie.
- Happy Holidays
- We collected money at Movie Night and at OmegaCon.
Matt shared that he was disappointed that the
recipient's name was disclosed at the Nov. ConCom

and agreed not to disclose that information. The
other officers concurred. About $75.00 has been
raised thus far.

Misfittle Labs logo for the room party.
