Hello Animal Science Club! Here are the minutes from this week's

meeting:

Dues

Today was the last day to pay dues! Hopefully everyone was able to get

their $10 in to Matt.

Thank You Notes

In order to thank the companies for their generous donations to our

auction, Thank You notecards were signed at the meeting. Cards will be

going to Ag Industrial and Atlantic Tractor for their pedal tractor

donations, and we're also thanking Bigg's Inc. for their donated

auction item of the upright toy engine. These auction items brought in

about $250, and the entire auction ended up making $714. This money

will be donated to AgrAbility.

Ag Carnival Re-cap

We had a really great turn-out at Ag Carnival, and it was a lot of

fun. Our pedal tractor event was a hit--although (as the boys

painfully found out) an event much better suited for the ladies. Some

winning highlights for the ANSC Club were Matt for placing 1st in the

pie-eating contest, and Jen and Megan for coming in 1st place in the

pumpkin chucking. The ANSC Club's team New Holland finished up in 4th

place for the overall day's events! Awesome job, everyone! If anyone

has suggestions for next year's Ag Carnival, please email Amanda at

akilby@udel.edu.

Service Report

Sally, a representative from AgrAbility, would like to come and give a

talk about her organization. However, she isn't available to come to

our meetings on Wednesday. The club needs to decide if we would be

willing to attend her guest talk on some other day of the week, and

what day would be best for the club. Although the Animal Science Club

has been raising money for AgrAbility for some time now, we've become

slightly detached from the organization, so it would be very

beneficial if Sally came in and explained to us more about AgrAbility.

We will discuss this matter further at a future meeting.

Hayride

A contract has finally been drawn up between the Animal Science Club

and Alpha Zeta. Some of the key aspects of the contract include:

-ANSC club and AZ will share responsibility of publicity, planning,

filling out appropriate forms, and getting drivers.

-There will be at least six designated spots for haunted scenes along

the route, with ANSC club responsible for at least 4 of the spots, and

AZ responsible for at least 2.

-All profits from the hayride will be split as 60% to ANSC club and

40% to AZ

-ANSC club is required to provide at least 22 people each night, and

AZ is required to provide at least 12 people. For every participant

who does not show up on a given night, that club will receive a 1%

deduction in profit.

Forms requesting funding from the Allocations board have been turned

in, and our event is officially registered with Activities and

Planning. As far as publicity is concerned, we have a kiosk in Trabant

reserved for 10/20 from 11am-2pm. Flyers and signs are being designed

by AZ, and we will hopefully be distributing them soon.

For those of you who are station leaders, you need to email Jen with

your ideas and preliminary budgets ASAP. We're just two weeks away

from the hayride, so we've really got to get ourselves in gear.

Attached is the finalized station lists. If your name is not on the

list, and you would still like to help out (we can use all the help

that we can get!), please email Jen at jenp@udel.edu. Any other

questions or concerns about the hayride can also be emailed to me at

jesshall@udel.edu. NOTE: times for the Haunted Hayride have been

slightly modified: The hayride will be on Friday, 10/21 from 7-11pm,

and on Saturday, 10/22 from 6:30-11pm (with a kid-friendly ride from

6:30-7:30).

Kahunaville!

We ended the meeting by adjourning to Kahunaville for some country

line dancing. Hope everyone had fun!
