Meeting.Minutes

=Meeting Minutes=

This is where we will add all the minutes from our meetings!

=**__Wednesday September 29__**= = = - We are in the process of getting some boxes for bottle recycling. We would love to be able to keep the bottles and return them for our own profit, however, we are all very busy and we know that some of the residences collect bottles. Holy Cross has agreed to take care of our bottle situation! All we have to do is collect our empty class and plastic bottles in the boxes! Yay! - We would like to get some fundraising underway. There is always a need to have money, either to purchase something nice for the class, a prof, or even have a back up in case there is ever need to help one of our fellow classmates out! (Ie. A death in the family and we want to send flowers etc). BAKE SALE! – This is the first thing we would like to set up. As with the potluck, we would like to have people add what they would like to donate to our bake sale through the wikispace! Anything is appreciated! We will be holding the bake sale in James Dunn on Wednesday October 13. (We can make lots of money in this building!) Please let us know what you think! - Ashley would like to set up a team for participation in Trick-or-eat. This is a really great program that collects canned/non-perishable items for the local food bank! We can dress up, have fun and make a difference. Sunday October 31. Please leave comments here or email/see Ashley. - This is an amazing play that has been adapted into a movie! If you haven’t seen it, you definitely should come out and participate in this wacky, interactive show! There is a whole culture created upon this movie! So much fun! We are hoping to show this movie October 29 in Room 101. As there are obvious copy right infringements for showing this to a group of people we will not be charging any money but we are hoping to have some popcorn available for purchase! Please check back on the wiki to see more information as this progresses! - Allie would like to let students know about first aid. It is a very valuable course to have. Please check wiki for more information as this progresses.

- We would like to have a talent show! Lots of fun, but we are thinking of holding this in the third term. Maybe in the third term we will feel more comfortable with each other to do this? If anyone in the class would REALLY like to have a talent show now, let us know! If we have enough sign up perhaps it can be moved ahead!

=**__Wednesday September 22__**=

we need to get out and be active at some point! - Ski trip to Crabbe Mountain. There is a shuttle bus and students can get super cheap rentals! [] if you’d like to check it out! If we can get enough STUdents to go we could get a group deal! Even better! Of course, this won’t be taking place until we get some snow, so keep your eyes open and keep checking back for more info! - If you have any other ideas for activities/outings/social events that you would like to see us organize, please feel free to add them to the wikispace or email us! - We would like to see some sort of bottle recycling available in our rooms. We will be looking into this! Ashley will discuss with Holy Cross. - Please see email regarding iRock and Potluck! - We would like to have one day a week dedicated to Dressing Down!! (No sweat pants (including LuLuLemon), no ripped jeans, no bums or boobs!!) Respectable Jeans and a hoodie may be more appropriate! Ali is going to be discussing this idea with Karen Love, we will keep you informed!

**__Wednesday, September 15__**
Minutes from our first meeting! Yay! Things we discussed: 1. **__Appliances__** - Microwave **-** for use in BMH – is it possible to put it in room 205 where it is only used for BEd classes? This seems to be the most important topic in everyone’s minds. Coffee Maker **-** Is this feasible? It may be cheaper than purchasing from Cafe, but is it really something that can be set up in the room? Discuss further? Refrigerator **-** Can we have one in the room? In the hallway/common area? Who will be responsible for cleaning this and how do we keep non-BEd students out of it?

2. **__Social Events__** - - __Pub Club__! Getting students together at a local pub for social night, once a week/once a month? Perhaps on Fridays/Weekends? Cellar is on campus, close and has great food! - __The “Informal”__ – Instead of having a formal (because we already despise dress clothes lets have an Informal formal! Are we going to charge a fee? Will this be free? More to discuss. - __Pub Crawl!__ Everybody loves a good old fashioned pub crawl! This may have to take place second term. Perhaps our first weekend back from Practicum? Contact Liz who would like to help with this, she has experience and connections!  - __Secret Buddies__ – Have everyone who wants to participate fill out a survey giving interests, birthday etc. Hand these out randomly to those participating and they can deliver messages, small treats and other fun things in our mailboxes! Who wouldn’t love to receive a smiley face sticker or a ‘have a great day’ note!? This is also a great way to find out everyone’s birthdays.

3. **__Services__** - - Allie brought up the fact that many of us don’t know about all the student services available to us. She is willing to get this information gathered for us and put together in one spot for easy viewing. - __Wikispace__ – This is a great idea for keeping all of our information (student services, collection of our minutes, social events and contact information) all in one place so all students can have easy access at all times. It is also something that Ali discussed leaving to the next BEd class, a place where we can tell them information we would have liked to know our first day (ex. Where to find student id’s, what to have ready for your time at the registrars office to eliminate waiting/going back multiple times, etc).

Fundraising Ideas: **Bake sale**. Funds to go towards Microwave. Ali would like to make posters. **Dress Down Fridays**. This will have to be cleared by the faculty. Charge small fee ($1-2) per student to be able to wear casual clothes on certain days. Perhaps Wednesday/Thursdays where we don’t have classes every Friday? Or perhaps the faculty will be more open to giving us Fridays where we don’t always have classes on these days? Money raised will either go towards our class or can be donated to an afterschool program or other organization of our choosing?

We would also like to have a space available to us for posting information, events, a place where students can leave comments and feedback for the committee. Perhaps this could be set up on a wall in room 205? A faculty member will have to be asked.

House keeping: - Ask about being able to have a bake sale in BMH. - Discuss if having a microwave is possible/where we can have it. - Discuss with faculty about Dress Down Fridays
