Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Sam): Service happened this weekend. Sara Pickett has volun-
teered to PC the Greater Boston Food Bank project this com-
ing weekend. We're meeting early in the morning at 7:30 in
the office, then leaving and T'ing there at 8:00. We'll work un-
til 12:30 and get back at one o' clock. The weekend after is
Chapter Weekend I. I'm still looking for a head PC and a food
PC. Ann Marie is the transport PC. There are at least ten WPI
people coming. We'll coordinate food with them. I will get
directions. The weekend after that [2/26] is the Harvard-MIT
Math Tournament. Aaron Ucko is the chair, and I'll get him
more information. They said they'd love our help. That's the
outlook for the next three Saturdays; I'll dig up more service.
MVP (Ann Marie): We will have lots of pledges, around ten to
eighteen. The pledge ceremony is this Friday. I hope lots of
brothers will come, 'cause it'll be sad if the pledges outnumber
the brothers. It's at 7 pm. The final open meeting is tomorrow
at 7 pm as well. Come. Fill out big brother forms.
FVP (Joe): I got people for events. I'm mired in work. I will get stuff
done.
Treasurer (Oscar): Signatories have been changed. Books will be
closed by the end of the week. If you want money or owe money
to the chapter, drop me a note. Membership dues ($20) and
elevation fees ($25) are due by next Chapter Meeting.
AC (Ian): [incoherent babble] We have rooms for the pledge ceremony.
We do have a [Lobby 10] booth for Steak Fry. We still have
minutes. I will print out the Bylaws and sheets and other things.
APOcEd (Nitin): not present
OM (David): We have an office, and it's being managed. I still need
to get a cluedump from Oscar. I have a hemi-vacuum-cleaner,
which is minute in capabilities, to eliminate the sandy grit in
the office tracked in from the streets. There are games on the
shelves above apo.mit.edu. I want to know what to do with it.
The office is a [expletive deleted] mess, it's all Book Ex's fault.
President (Carolyn): Books don't [same expletive in present rather
than present participle].
PubDir (Lokie): We have supplies. I would like to move some. Sat-
urday's customers irked me; they grabbed stuff from the office
and haven't paid. I have two copies of the Invoice of DoomTM .
I will check with the MVP on the bulletin board in the Infinite
Corridor. I'll see what to do with the board we have outside the
office. Hope it's not scary.
Historian (Jake): I'm still not cluedumped. Ari has the picture from
Initiation and has volunteered to finish it. I will be cluedumped
when we're both in the office and both awake. I'll talk to Oscar
about the family tree project. The photos will be sorted asap.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Ellen): I was at the national board meet-
ing this weekend. I'm planning on driving a van to the charter-
ing at the Stevenson Institute of Technology in New Jersey on
March 4. I can take more people in the van. Saturday, March
25 is the Section 97 Conference in New York City. Our confer-
ence is the first week in April. April 7 or 8 is the Section 99
Conference in New Jersey. More stuff will come later.
President (Carolyn): We have a chapter. We will have a bigger
chapter after we get pledges. Next Chapter Meeting we will
decide on a pledge class namesake. Rack your brains for names.
Sign up for office hours, and only put down hours for when you're
likely to be there.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Book Ex (Emily): We had Book Ex. It was fun. We tried automa-
tion. It didn't suck. The system was slightly better than paper,
and the midweek inventory and cash counts agreed with the
paper records. Our total intake was approximately $6471, and
our 5% take is about $323. Thanks to Oscar, Ari, Krista, and
Carolyn.
ScrewComm (David): We had ScrewComm. We have a booth. We
met on Wednesday the 8th. Everyone except for Marisa (who
was busy) showed up. People know what they're supposed to
do, and I will poke them to do stuff.
Conclave Exploratory Comm. (Emily): There is a mailing list
called apo-conclave. If we don't have enough people, we will
disband. If you are interested and haven't e-mailed me, talk to
me.
CokeComm (Emily): We have carrots and yogurt. Eat. Don't
change the prices on the price list.
Sys. Admins (Oscar): Once Book Ex is over, we will reinstall Win-
dows NT and Linux on the machine. We have our own licensed
copy of NT.
Rules (Ari): Forms such as the Brotherhood Expectations need to be
generated and signed.

None.
New Business:

Silkscreening:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President (Carolyn): The LSC ExecComm Chair sent me e-mail
saying that since no one is using their plate-burning room, they
will do something with it. This happens to be our silkscreening
room as well. We're not listed by the ASA has having the room.
Ann Marie: Things are sort of nebulous, so let's get more information
on it first.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Ellen): Talk to ASA.
President (Carolyn): The appeals are due Thursday, so we need
to deal now. Also, if you have silkscreening clue, teach our
Silkscreening Chair (Sam).
75th Anniversary:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Advisory Comm. Chair (Ellen): Nationals is asking everyone to do
something with the number 75 to celebrate APO's 75th anniver-
sary. They will compile a record of the stuff everyone sends. We
should do something. Also, they have declared 75th anniversary
service days. March 16 is the Campfire's Absolute Incredible
Kids' Day [?]. April 14 [or 15?] is Service to the Youth Day.
Another day will be designated later in November. In addition,
the weekend of July 14, there will be a celebration in Easton,
PA at LaFayette College. A historic tour will happen Friday
evening, and a leadership workship will take place Saturday.
Meredith: March 16 is my birthday.
Oscar: Governor Cellucci had proclaimed an APO National Service
Week for Massachusetts before. It would be cool if we could get
him to do the same for one of the special weeks Ellen mentioned.
