Hey Animal Science Club!

A big thanks to our guest speaker from Perdue! Following our speaker's

presentation, there was a short business meeting. Here are the minutes

from this past Wednesday's meeting:

Treasurer's Report

Account: $1,029.30

Next Week

Before next week's meeting on 4/19, a few of our members will be

giving a tour of the dairy to a disabled woman. If you are part of

this group, please meet at 4pm at the dairy. Danielle will send out a

reminder email next week.

Also, we will be having a guest speaker at next week's meeting: Dr.

Culp from the Army Corps. We hope that you will come out and listen to

what's sure to be an interesting presentation from Dr. Culp!

Ag Day

This year at Ag Day we're not going to have any of our conventional

crafts. Instead, we will let the kids mix feed to form rations for

typical ruminants or nonruminants. There will be posters explaining

the nutritional requirements for ruminants (sheep) and nonruminants

(chickens), and the kids will be able to bring home their mixed feed

samples. In addition, we will have animals, plant sale forms, and

AgrAbility posters.

We discussed what we should do about Ag Day shirts--if we should buy

extras and sell them. As per vote of the club, we decided that the

club will pay for the Tshirts and that we will buy about 15 extra

shirts (5 small, 5 medium, and 5 large).

Plant Sale Forms

We are still waiting to hear back from Dr. Emara concerning the

varieties of plants we will be selling.

High School Quiz Bowl Competition

There was a committee meeting about the High School Quiz Bowl, and

Jenna reported on the committee's decisions. The committee had decided

to appease the department by limiting the Quiz Bowl Competition to 4H

high school kids, who may be interested in coming to UD, so that we

could double our competition as a recruitment tool. However, Dan

Severson brought up some concerns about our target audience and

proposed "recruitment tool" plans. So, the committee will discuss this

further and report back to us on a later date. They will be meeting

with Dr. Gelb soon to discuss this and other issues.

AgCC Officers Needed

AgCC, which is composed of representatives from the different clubs in

the Ag College, is looking for new officers for next year. If you are

interested in nominating yourself, please contact Amanda at

akilby@udel.edu for an application form. Also, mark your calendars for

the Advisor Appreciation lunch on May 18th from 12-2 in the Commons.

Banquet

The ANSC club banquet will be held on May 10 at Timothy's. Please send

any award nominations to Amanda, Jess, or Carolyn. **Don't send your

nomination to the person you're nominating**

That's it from this week's meeting. See you at our next meeting on

Wednesday, 4/19 at 5:30pm in 111 MEM!
