Hello Animal Science Club!
Here are the minutes from Wednesday's meeting:
Treasurer's Report
account: $1474.38
Budget Requests
Alumni Newsletter: Jodi Lasko requested a budget allowance of $185 to
cover costs for the ANSC Club's annual alumni Newsletter. The
Newsletter helps keep our old members involved with the club by
informing them about our semester's activities. Also, the Newsletter
is a good way to advertise our Spring Plant Sale and put out requests
for Guest Speakers. Jodi's budget was approved by the club, and anyone
who is willing to help stuff envelopes should come 15 minutes early to
the next meeting.
Scrapbook: Jen Puttress requested an $80 budget to cover costs for an
updated ANSC Club scrapbook. However, there was some debate among
members as to whether the format for our scrapbook should take on a
more professional look, so that we can submit it to National's, or if
the scrapbook should be less formal and serve more as an "in-house"
events picture album. We decided that before approving the budget, we
are going to see if we even qualify for the National's Scrapbook
competition. (aka. Have we done the required activities that must be
outlined in the scrapbook?) Also, the club discussed making copies of
the "scrapbook" to CD, so that we can distribute it to club members at
the end of the year. If you have any additional concerns or
suggestions about the scrapbook, please email Jen at jenp@udel.edu.
Committee Reports
Fundraising: Matt talked to Dr. Emara, and things are in the works for
our Spring Plant sale. Concerning profit from the Hayride, after
splitting ticket sales with AZ, our share of the profit is $180.
However, costs from the Hayride are still being calculated.
Pre-Vet: The Brandywine Zoo trip is this Sunday the 13th. Those who
are going should meet in the Russell parking lot (behind Russell
building B) at 9:30am. The cost is $4 per person. Any last minute
cancellations should be directed to Amanda at aepisano@udel.edu.
Also, we will be having Dr. Marshall as a guest speaker during next
week's meeting. Dr. Marshall is a UD professor and an experienced
equine vet. He has lots of advice about Vet school, equine interest,
and other animal science-related information. So, please make an extra
effort to come to next week's meeting! We would like to give a warm
welcome to Dr. Marshall and let him know how appreciative we are that
he is taking time to speak to the club. Also, we invite you to bring
friends who might not be in the club, but could benefit from Dr.
Marshall's lecture.
Social: Dinner with the club at Damon's was a success, and everyone
who went last week had lots of fun. A tentative date for our annual
Holiday Dinner at Dr. Griffith's is planned for Sunday, December 4th.
The Holiday Dinner is always an awesome time with great food and
with other members. (There's always some harmless squabbling and other
exciting amusements.) In addition, the Social committee will be in
charge of providing light refreshments during our guest speaker's
lecture next week.
Livestock: At the end meeting, Amanda Kilby gave us some basic
instruction on livestock judging for those who are interested in
attending Regionals. Also, there will be some more practice judging
livestock when we go to Steve Cook's on Nov. 20th. In addition, Steve
Cook has a bunch of other exciting stuff lined up for us when we go
down to help him on his farm. This includes trimming hooves, helping
with vaccines, and a BBQ for lunch. We will discuss more about going
to Steve Cook's at next week's meeting.
Service: We will be having our AgrAbility speaker on Tuesday, November
22nd at 6:15pm in Gore. This will replace our regularly scheduled
meeting for that Wednesday. Also, please bring nonperishable food
items to the Agrability speaker lecture, so that we can participate in
the Thanksgiving food drive. (Make sure to check expiration dates on
your nonperishables... and please, no bottled water!)
Other Items of Concern
-New member certificates are on the way, and our new members should
receive them by next semester. Thanks for being patient!
-NESA 2006, aka. Regionals: This is taking place in Amherst, MA from
Feb 24th to Feb 26th. There is a registration fee of $55, and there
will also be additional costs for transportation and hotel
accommodations. We will have information on these additional costs by
next meeting. Also, we want to have a list of definite people who will
be attending Regionals by Nov. 22nd. So, please start putting some
serious thought toward Regionals!
Alright. That's it from Wednesday's meeting. We hope to see you all at
next week's meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16th at 6:15pm in 037 Memorial
for Dr. Marshall's guest speaker lecture! Have a great weekend,
