Sept. 30 Meeting Minutes

President: Dr. Lee is not accepting grant submissions this semester. Yankee Candle Fundraiser
is officially OFF. Unfortunately that program was discontinued so the club must find other means
of fundraising. We are looking to focus more on the spring semester and spring conference
fundraising at this point. We might need to be open to taking less people than the 14 goal for the
NYC conference depending on recruitment. We are looking into grants and allocated funds from
Student Senate to help cover costs for the Spring conference.

Treasurer: Due to lack of grant money, the cost for the D.C. conference will be $95 out of pocket
for individuals that wish to attend. We are looking into new online fundraiser options with the
advent of the Yankee Candle Fundraiser loss.

Secretary: A recruitment message has been drafted for the club. Here is the link to the Google
Doc where any club member is free to edit it and contribute:

Executive Board: We are allowing club members to decide individually if they still wish to attend
the D.C. conference now that the issue of cost per person has been raised. Our $48 registration
fee is non-refundable, but we can still adjust the numbers of members attending if people still
wish to attend of they wish to drop out. We believe it is better for the club, as a whole, to focus
our energy on the NYC conference in the Spring for recruitment and fundraising and respect the
decisions of all individual members.
