IX.        Faculty Advisors – Dr. Ansell, Mr. Harpell, and Mr. Kutil

        Mr. Kutil asked how much money we had in our club account. Lori said she thought last semester we had about $800, but we should be getting another $500 for this semester. Mr. Kutil suggested that we amend the amount of scholarship money to $250 per scholarship. (There will be two scholarships.) Elizabeth moved to amend the money amount to $250 per scholarship, Tiffany seconded the motion, and the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Kutil announced that David Everett has been talking to people, trying to get the cafeteria on campus to switch to using cornstarch products. He still needs to talk to the owner of Elite, but it looks like she may agree to take baby steps to make the switch. They may switch from Styrofoam to paper, but we’d like to eventually switch to cornstarch. There is no plan to start massive composting until the maintenance building is finished (probably within two years). Tom Fuller thinks that then they will eventually be able to take all waste. Mr. Kutil asked Lori if a date had been set up for the kayaking trip. Lori said she is still waiting to see if she can get a good deal.

 

X.         Open Discussion/Announcements

       Lori read the email she had received from Kayla Moreland regarding Club Day and different activities and games we can choose for our club to do. Lori said that she signed us up for the fishing pool. Student Government will be serving ice cream. We discussed possibly having costumes (circus freaks). Mr. Kutil suggested we dress up as carnival freaks from a bad environment.

                    The meeting was adjourned at 3:38 p.m. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, April 25^th, 2007 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the Student Center Club Room.
