Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Eric): Chapter Weekend I is coming up; I have a food PC,
need others. I'm planning to combine head and fellowship PC;
sounds good? [general assent.] The Ocean Sciences bowl is
this weekend. You can show up to help, even if you haven't
been trained. I got a phone call about a fundraiser for the
Alma McLeod foundation [same people who had a stay-awake
at Nationals]. ServComm will convene at some point. Chapter
Weekend II will take the form of Conclave preparation.
MVP (Sam): Hi. I've got a few things going. I've talked to seven
prospectives who intend to pledge. Know others? Direct them to
apo-mvp. Big brother forms are in the office. Pledge ceremonies
will be Fridays the 16th and 23rd. The one on the 23rd will be
earlier, to allow people to get to Resolute at a reasonable hour for
Chapter Weekend. Future plans include: a publication on being
a big brother (as recommended by CPPC), brother meetings,
and a retention program. MemComm will convene soon.
FVP (Jesse): (see election.)
Treasurer (Ray): Dues are due by the next chapter meeting, and are
$20. For new brothers, this is included in elevation fees.
AC (Laura): I should get off my butt and type and send minutes. I
have reserved some rooms.
APOcEd (Lokie): It was delayed. Submit! Deadlline this weekend.
OM (Ray): The office is a [expletive deleted] mess.
PubDir (Katherine): [ed. note: I wrote "drop poster" but I don't
know why.] Interested in t-shirts? Add yourself to apo-silkscreen.
Officers (and anyone else) should give me office hours.
Historian (Celine): not present
Advisory Comm. Chair (Ellen): Hi. I exist. Feel free to call me
any time to talk. I mean that.
President (Ian): Hi. CPPC goals were emailed; read them!
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conclave:
Sam: Saturday, 1:30pm, office project. Help make the packet!
Ellen: There will be many projects to be done before Conclave. Also,
plan now to commit to being at Conclave. Campus Preview
Weekend is at the same time; let the other people in your living
group handle it.
Emily: The Scout office finally agrees that we have Resolute reserved
for the weekend of Conclave. Yay! We've found a caterer we
can afford. We have a meeting Saturday afternoon. We plan to
have mail and web info put together by February 18.
Book Exchange: It's going well, with sales so far about $2000.
Antonio improved the computer system, and will document it too.
We're taking inventory; join us after the meeting!
Nationals: We have a big binder of legislation. Feel free to read.
Sam: It was great. I've been to two, and may go to more.
Carolyn: I got contact info from... four guys.
Old Business:

New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elections: tabled (many-0-1).
Membership: Sam hands out pledge policy and moves to pass it. Ray
suggests the friendly amendment to add that fees are $20 but may be
waived if they present a hardship; Sam accepts the amendment. Pledge
policy passes (all-0-0).
Sam hands out brother policy and moves it. [ed. note: he likes to move
it, move it.] It passes (all-0-0); many brothers sign the intent-to-be-
active form, and Sam encourages others to do so soon.
Conclave chair wants committee meetings at 7pm, moving Chap-
ter/Exec to 8pm on Wednesdays. An informal poll indicates lack of
objection.
Elections: removed from the table (many-0-1).
o FVP: Antonio and Lael run; Lael wins.
o PubDir: Joia and Katherine run; Katherine wins.
o Office Manager: Jen, Joia, and Antonio run; Antonio wins.
