SLS Trip (10/6)

-         We need the final head count for the trip, so contact Steve if you haven’t told him whether you are able to go.

-         Transportation

o       UR has a contract with Enterprise Rentals, so we can rent a van

o       Alissa will also be driving, but she’ll be staying in Massachusetts until Monday

-         Steve will forward Gerald’s cost worksheet to the board.

 

Fall Social Event (10/18)

-         Plan for event: Meet in Hopeman 224 at 7 PM for a meet & greet and food, then leave for the bowling alley at 8 PM. The event should be over by 10 PM.

-         Marc will call the bowling alley (either Clover Lanes or Bowl-a-Roll) to get a group rate / reserve lanes.

-         Steve and Joni will look into chartering a bus.

 

Pumpkin Launch (11/2)

-         We’d like to finalize the rules for the competition by the end of next week’s meeting.

-         Joni suggested trying to reserve Hirst Lounge so people could watch from there, especially if it’s cold.

-         The hot apple cider was popular last year, so it might be a good idea to sell cider again.

-         Gerald and Sarilyn plan to participate in the pumpkin launch.

-         Alissa agreed to look into getting t-shirts or sweatshirts to sell at the event. (Rick Tacular made the t-shirts last year)

 

Other Business

-         ASME Paraphenalia: Aside from ASME hooded sweatshirts, bottle openers and ASME winter hats were also proposed.

-         We talked about selling pizza at the Lego League tournament as a fundraiser, so I looked up the date online. The tournament is on Sunday, December 9 (in Georgen gym). Here’s the website:
