Minutes: November 19, 2008

NBSP Trip

• Tour facilities, make contacts- internship opportunity. Dress business casual (polo's, khakis, etc.)
• Waterfront, Morgantown on December 3rd at 10 am- how many plan on attending?
  - Still unknown
• Meet at Evansdale Library parking lot at 9:20 am, depart at 9:30 am due to morning traffic.
  - Will take 2-3 hours
• Will need additional car if more than 10 are attending.
  - Does not look like more

T-Shirts

• Treasurer Shawn Cain has been looking into prices.
• Design committee would be useful over Christmas break- see t-shirt criteria handout.
  - No questions, generating good ideas
  - Reep Graphics
• Suggestion from Eddie: Ignoring copyright concerns, something like a reference to this on a shirt. Photos would not work well but the image could be processed through something like VectorMagic to make it more cartoony.

Volunteering

• Very pleased with volunteer effort thus far.
  - Estimate 50+ hours so far- more than triple last years number. Keep it going!
  - Official number turned in: 51.5 hours!
• Rewards
  - Reach 10 hours to receive a $10 gift certificate to Hollywood theaters
  - Sam Romano, Dani Wilson, CJ McGinnis
  - Member who volunteers the most hours before the final meeting receives a $50 gift card or gas card.
• Reporting hours
  - SSAB must report hours promptly to receive credit.
  - Make sure you have filled out a CCE enrollment form, if not let me know.
  - Fill out volunteer forms and turn in at each meeting.
  - Don't forget: 25 hours community service up for grabs- first come, first serve.
  - Gift certificate requests must be received before the meeting.
• BioCOP volunteer hours
  - Began Mon. 11/17. Do not submit a timesheet if you are volunteering. If you do, you will get paid, and your hours will not be counted as volunteer efforts.

Fundraising

• Pizza Sales
  - Despite cancellation, sales went well- downtown sale will be conducted in the Spring. Downtown sale cancelled.
  Profit- $70 even with cost of supplies, including soda we can use in the Spring. Make more money in the Spring.
  Note- Cheaper prices (2 for $2, $1 soda) and better location MRB were more profitable.
• New Ideas
  - Raffle

Display

• Main display in ESB hallway (by Bits and Bytes) needs to be updated.
• Designed in PowerPoint, printed in Evansdale Library
• If interested, please let me know!
  - Take pictures of old display for reference
  - Have rough draft ready for January SSAB meeting.
