It was a success, a lovely day. Thank you to all the

or Costco - just go to Cub. Recommend dry ice for next year.
Great job advertising at CVG. We had about 60 people there.

legged race / egg toss. Two o'clock time is good. Get a

Jodie has 70 dollars to spend. Last thing is to send a
letter with gift certificate and a WC book to the school,
saying "You have a wonderful student."
Events Updates
- Fall Event (Cinema
Rex Night, Spy Night, etc.)
- Think about renting out
the Mounds Theatre. If we do Rex route, we need a suggestion
of 10 movies or so and they pick the best three. Think about
ideas for movies - Matt will talk to the Rex Boys - Budget
was $600.00. We can increase budget. Talk to Rex and Mounds
Theatre.
- Think about forming a
Prom Committee by November 1st. Amada and Emily
co-heads. Creature Feature theme.
- Consider moving officer
retreat to fall / winter as opposed to closer to
CONvergence.
- Create a Scavenger Hunt
Committee.
Other
- Inventory List and
Checkout System - table it. Dave is working on template for
it.
- Microwave and Mini-Fridge
(any other capital expenditures needed?) we have a new
microwave.
- Photography Club
Suggestion - Roger suggested it. Must be a misfits member to
suggest a club. We would probably approve it. Need
guidelines for starting club.
- Board / Officer Meeting
Date - tabled? not sure!
- Dave has a list of
conventions in the area - room party presence.
- CD/DVDs in office -
picture archives
- Club heads need to
volunteer at room party as well.
