Joe Kuchta, Henning, Yale, Ezra, Dave, Cathy, Kate, Gilbert Kevin,

Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Barbara): We might have to cancel our project this weekend
because Somerville Homeless Coalition doesn't have any paint.
We could also buy some paint for them. We have community
service fund. How about PSC fund? Will ask Dima to look into
other service possibilities with them.
We have a fund raising project at the Hospitality Program on
Tue. 9/20. I'm also looking into projects with the Nature Con-
servancy and Boston Senior Home Care (possibily on 12/3.)
We still have the Welmet project next weekend. The National
Braille Press doesn't have any immediate project. We'll schedule
a UMOCCom meeting very soon now (before Chapter Weekend
I.)
MVP (Dave): Open Meetings are done. Sent paper reminders to 31
or 32 prospectives about Open Projects. Still need to talk to
Barbara. Will contact people at Open Meetings and maybe the
next MVP can get the rest of the propspectives who didn't re-
spond next term. I need people to help me do phone callings.
I'll get an idea of who will pledge first, and then talk to them
about big brothers. Thur. 9/22 8pm is "spontaneous get-
together". Please talk to prospectives and listen to what they
say (but don't push them too much.)
AVP (Gilbert): The database in the locker is almost 100% up-to-date.
I changed the perl scripts so that the signup sheet defaults to not
showing a bunch of inactive alumni and advisors [This reduces
the number of people a PC (especially a pledge) would think
he/she needs to call.] Talk to me if you have any concern about
who should appear.
Treasurer (Henning): We have 24 financially actives.
FC (Rachel): Open Fellowship Event 8-10pm on Thursday at Mc-
Cormick Dining. Dinner trip on Fridays. Emily is PC for Steak
Fry and we have reserved Next House Country kitchen starting
at 4pm.
APOcEd (Bert): [remote report] I'm away but you could still email
me articles to apocrypha@mit.
PubDir (Charley): Thanks Kevin for ordering 3 rolls of drop poseter
paper. Ping also bought paint but we currently don't have any
black paint! (lost? walked?) Need Dave's help for computer
stuff.
ASC (Cathy): nothing to report
Historian (Richard): not present[but took lots of pictures at the Sat.
project]
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): Old advisor Dorothy Bow might be
around again.
President (Kate): If you have any secret hidden desire to be the
"schmuck" or just suggestions, let me know. We need one soon.
Officers, tell me in advance if you will be hosed. Sometimes, you
just need to delegate work to others and check on them.
I've got lost of mail from National, mostly irrelevant to chapter.
National Convention at Dallas will be on Dec 27-30. Talk to me
if you want to go. We have money to subsidize you if needed.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Book Exchange (Kevin): Book Exchange totalled $14,600. We will
have office hours from Monday to Friday 1-3pm and 6-8pm.
Thanks to all who helped, especially the wonderful sub-PC's.
New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: Should we host Conclave next year (Fall '95 or Spring '96)?
Meeting:
~~~~~~~
o Sophomores and juniors should decide because they will be doing
the work. Seniors will have graduated by then. For that matter,
they should go to more conclaves to find out what Conclaves are.
o We can usually get the dates we want (late Oct./Early Nov.)
o A lot of work to find things for others to do, to eat, and to stay.
But if we plan soon, it's manageable and fun. We should do our
part, also as service and leadership opportunities.
o '96 is Alpha Chi's 60th Anniversary. But best not to do both
Conclave and tracking down alumni for celebration at once.
o Joint hosting is probably bad.
o Need to tell committee by Nov 12.
o We will postpone decision. Announcement at Chapter Meeting.
o Kevin will write APOC article about Conclave.
Announcements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dave: Think about office hours. You could just set a time to eat lunch
or dinner at office!
Jeff: Sign up for Book Exchange pickup office hours.
Jennifer: I don't know when events are...
Dave: Pledge Ceremonies are on Sept. 26, 28, and 29.
Barbara: Fellowship event on Monday at 1pm. Come enjoy food and
help find a project!
If you haven't PC'ed a project yet, you should talk to me.
PFTGOTO:
~~~~~~~
Henning: IFC sucks. Don't put battery in your pocket with a key
chain. It will create a short!
Rachel: My computer is back on the net.
Barbara: Need new name for my computer - it is still called "spring."
Ezra: Thanks to brother Brooks for games.
Jeff: I like my schedule.
Kate: Thanks for coming.
