Minutes of ExecComm, Sept. 16, 1998
Start: 7:38 pm; End: 8:49 pm Present: Michael, Katie, Ellen Kranzer, Jen,
Sara, Cathy, Emily, Ann-Marie, Brad, Orod, Brian, Joe Kuchta, Ari, Falling
Prelude:
~~~~~~~
Katie and Sara are installed as Pubdir and Historian.
President (Ann-Marie): I need various chairships to be filled:
Coke, Food, Rideboard/Transport, Chapter Book, Nationals,
AXcoAPO Files, Sour Things, Tools, CPR, and Silkscreen.
Office Improvements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The coke machines are discussed. A new Coke machine still costs much more than
a refrigerator. ($1900 vs. $700)
MSP (5-3-2) Execcomm shall recommend to the chapter to replace
the soda machine with a refrigerator using capital allocation.
The stereo system is discussed. Execcom is split fairly evenly between
the opinions that the office should or should not have music. Thus,
although virtually no one is pleased with the current equipment, there is
insufficient support to recommend the purchase of new equipment.
Officer Reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Treasurer (Oscar): To be active this term, you must have no financial
obligations to the chapter, and pay dues by the second chapter meeting.
Dues are $20.
We have a new treasury policy:
you must stick to your budget, you cannot buy stamps,
you must put appropriately signed RFPs with receipt in the strongbox,
and you must fill out drop poster receipts entirely, and sign them.
The agenda for the next FinComm includes expanding the publicity budget,
and separating it from drop poster sales.
Also, please use requisition forms and Copy Tech for all copying.
SVP (Cathy): We have projects: Waltham Farm on the 20th,
and Walk for CCFA on the 26th. I'm currently looking for projects in
and around November. I want to organize a phone tree of people
who are interested in calling and contacting people.
MVP (Brian): We have five pledges from our first ceremony.
There is an open meeting tomorrow in 1-132. Friday's pledge ceremony
is in 8-105 at 7 pm. Monday's pledge ceremony is in 1-132 at 7 pm. There
may be one more open meeting.
There is a discussion regarding the advisability of this open meeting.
Eventually it is decided to let the MVP do his job.
APOcEd (Emily): I need articles from: (list omitted) Deadline is tonight.
FC (Brad): We're apple picking this weekend.
Ann-Marie: We're going to the Sox v. Orioles match on the 25th.
Tickets are $12.50. Ask me for details.
Cathy: On Sept. 28 we're going to Chuck E. Cheese's for Harry's birthday
party and skee-ball. Good fun! Tell me if you have a car.
ASC (Ari): Nothing to report.
AVP (Michael): Nothing interesting to report.
Historian (Sara): I want to do composite photos.
Denouement:
~~~~~~~~~~
MVP (Brian): Pledge ceremony Friday at 7 pm.
Cathy: Sign up for CCFA. Mrs. T, the MMA advisor, is in the hospital.
I'm sending a card -- talk to me if you'd like to sign it.
