6th Board Meeting 02/21/2008

Posted by Jason Jewell on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 01:16 in

Introduction:

Project Focus - There is a practice talk this Sunday in 112 Eng Hall for our upcoming Project Focus. You can come and criticize their presentation.

$50,000 Challenge - The results are out. We barely eeked out ninth place with 48 donations, but we got dem Bennies ($1,000). We were only outdonated by 4 universities: Northern Arizona University (they definitely cheated), Michigan Tech (if you've been to a regional or international conference, you know why), Arizona, and UMass. Be sure to thank everyone you know who donated.

EOH - If anyone knows where we can borrow some thermal goggles, that'd be sweet. They are too expensive to rent. Also, e-mail Patrick if you want an EOH T-shirt for $4.
We need volunteers to help out at EOH (not for our project). E-mail Amanda if you can work an hour or two during EOH.

Fundraising - People gave feedback on banquet. A list will soon be posted by the dry erase board in the office of who owes what. Threatening letters are postponed until next week.
Katia is going to look into having an African-themed dinner/party/concert.
Someone threw out the idea of doing a raffle with the university radio station.

Laura is going to put a can in the office for donations to buy mosquito nets for people in Uganda. More fundraising methods will follow.

Laura and Amanda are going to plan getting sweatshirts or T-shirts. Get the money before ordering so we don't lose our asses like last semester.

The regional conference committee needs a leader/conference coordinator. No one on the board volunteered. Projects should ask their members.

The Natural Cooling project has been put on hiatus.

See last weeks minutes for info on the YMCA. Kasey is a useful resource, at
