Meeting Agenda:

For the first meeting we had a social event to introduce our new

members to each other and to our old members. We made, and ate

delightfully sweet ice cream.

Information for interested students who could not attend this meeting:

I apologize for the late email with the information, but there was

some miscommunication with Event Services. For those of you who could

not attend, do not worry. In fact, we really hope that you attend our

next meeting. For those that can not attend due to class/lab conflict

do not worry either. We hold many weekend events that you are

encouraged to participate in, and you can always start attending

business meetings in future semesters. Don't let your class conflicts

discourage you from being a part of the club.

Next meeting:

For now, the meeting next week will be in the same place at the same

time. However, there will be another email next week confirming the

location, as the room we were in was less than optimal, we're going to

try to fix that. For now, we will be meeting in 103 Sharp Lab at 5:30.

For those who don't know where Sharp Lab is, it is the building next

to Gore Hall on E. Delaware.

Next meeting we will be deciding on committee chairs. Please consider

being a chairperson.

Social Committee: Committee duties include planning social events

which promote fellowship among members.

Fundraising Committee: Committee duties are to design and run

fundraising activities for the club. The Treasurer shall serve as

Chair of this committee.

Livestock Committee: This committee is responsible for organizing and

planning all livestock activities. The livestock committee should

arrange for at least one guest speaker per semester.

Pre-vet Committee: this committee is responsible for organizing and

planning all pre-vet, companion animal, and exotic animal activities.

The pre-vet committee should arrange for at least one guest speaker

and/or event per semester.

Community Service Committee: this committee is responsible for

planning all community service events.

Please keep in mind that all active members must serve on a committee,

so if you don't want to be a chair, please think about which one you

would like to help out with.

We have a lot of exciting events planned for this semester. See you

next week.
