Science Fair:

                Need to get on this ASAP.

                Need to contact Danielle for any information from last year.

For International project, We need to have proposal in by the end of November.  This will insure that if something is wrong with the paperwork or the situation changes we have time to fix or adjust projects.

Also the pre-assessment trip is being moved to Spring Break for time constraint purposes.  

Recruitment:

Austin is going to be either contacting Susan Phillips or the faculty teaching intro classes in order to set up presentation days.  A short power point presentation will be put together and we need volunteers to go to the classes to give the presentations.

 Committees that we need:

                Project Committee

                Fundraising Committee

                Local and International Committee

                Faculty and Public Relations Committee

Initially there will be an officer in charge of each committee which hopefully turns into an overseer position.

Agenda:

Meeting Next Monday October 20^th @ 5:30 PM EN 107.
               

Chalking Wednesday October 8^th @ 6:30 PM.  Meet on west side of Engineering North.

Sarah said something about contacting the faculty in the arts department, but I am not sure why she was talking about it.

During the meeting next week the agenda should be close to the following:

                Discuss Trip to Louisiana.
