Mj talked about participating in a food drive for the non-profit organization, Food For People, Inc. a.

The board members have said AGS is not a fraternity; AGS is an honor society. 2. California Coastal Clean Up Day is coming soon. A list of participating members was assembled. A poster should be made announcing Gamma Rho's participation in the Coastal Clean Up. Clean Up instructions and directions will be emailed to members. 3.

Top	Thurs., October 3 Minutes Alpha Gamma Sigma Gamma Rho Chapter October 3, 2002 Time: 16:37 - 17:50 Place: College of the Redwoods, Lakeview Room (Cafeteria) In Attendance: Dr. Justine Shaw-Advisor, Mj Goble-President, Patrick Cross-2^nd Vice President, Charlotte Peters-Secretary, Jovone` Lende, Jim Tenney, Diana Newett, and Monica Conners Agenda approved. Guest: Anne Holcomb, Executive Director (Food For People, Inc.) Anne talked about Food For People, Inc. since the Gamma Rho chapter has expressed interest in hosting a food drive for the organization this holiday season. Started in 1979, Food For People, Inc. (FFP) distributes food for people in need from Willow Creek to Garberville. There are several programs available to bring food for seniors, children, disabled adults, or ill adults who are homebound. Anne stresses that FFP is not just for the homeless. Families who experience unexpected financial hardship or starving students are also offered bags of food to get them by. The organization also offers other non-food programs such as a community garden site, job training, nutrition and cooking classes, awareness groups, and advocacy programs. Regarding the food drive, FFP will supply the food bins and will pick up the food. Anne asked that no glass or perishable food be collected. A campus wide e-mail can be sent out to publicize the food drive. Consent Calendar: 1. Jim asked that item 1.3 be removed from the Action Items for discussion. No one opposed. a. Jim expressed concern about the 0/14 service point option. He felt that there should be some service points earned by attending meetings. Members should have some involvement with chapter business, which takes place at meetings. Charlotte agreed. b. Justine mentioned that she has heard students say that they could do the service projects, but that the meetings would not fit into their schedules. The 0/14 service point option would allow more students the opportunity to join AGS. c. It was argued that AGS is a service-oriented organization and that service involvement should be stressed over meeting involvement. We need to increase student membership, and it seems that meetings are a turn-off for potential members. Jovone' suggested having different meetings times so that members can attend at least some of the meetings. Charlotte suggested approving the amendment as is and then reevaluating the situation at a later date to see if everyone will opt for the 0/14 service point option. Diana suggested having at least 1 mandatory meeting. d. Action Item 1.3 was put to a vote and approved with 5 'yays' and 1 'nay'. The bylaws and application will be updated to reflect the new 4/8 and 0/14 service point options. The first number will indicate how many points are to be earned by attending meetings and the second will indicated how many points are to be earned by doing service projects. 2. Action Items 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4 were approved with 5 'yays' and 1 abstention President's Report: 2.1 Mj announced that we would be hosting the Food For People food drive this Thanksgiving holiday for the full month of November. 2.2 Mj received an email from Ahn Fielding, Executive Director of the C.R. Foundation League, asking for volunteers to help with the Annual Autumn Vintage Wine Gala and Auction at the Eureka Inn. a. This is an Annual fundraiser auction put on by CR to raise money for a chosen CR department. This year the CR Hospitality Institute will benefit from the event. b. There are several areas of need from Friday - Sunday. We can request which duties we want, but duties are assigned according to experience, so we may get to help out in the area we chose (Sunday morning cleanup). c. The event will be held Saturday, November 2 at the Eureka Inn. Mj suggested volunteering to clean up on Sunday morning, November 3^rd, due to the fact not all members are over 21 years old. Members under 21 years old could not participate in the evening event because of the alcohol regulations. d. Members approve of the idea. 2.3 Mj passed around a sheet showing which Papa Murphy's cards have been sold. Nearly all of the cards from the first batch of 50 have been sold. a. She encouraged members to complete their sales. 2.5 Mj has put in a request to Everett to have keys made for the display case that A.S.C.R. has loaned to AGS until the matter can be voted on for permanent use. a. Mj was told that items displayed in the case would need to be approved by Jean O'Hara, Residence Hall Director/A.S.C.R. advisor, before being posted in the case. b. Mj will submit a few things for Jean's approval. c. Justine recommended calling Everett directly to get the paperwork moving on the key request. 2.6 Service points are current as of 10/01/02. Mj passed around the service point box for those who were interested in seeing how many service points they have earned. a. Members can also check the website for service point updates. 2.7 There are still vacancies in the 1^st Vice President and I.C.C. Rep. positions. Positions are for an academic year. 2.8 To ensure that continuing members are enrolled in the required 6+ units for the semester, Mj is asking that a registration receipt be submitted along with dues and grades. 2^nd Vice President's Report: 4.3 The membership drive at the CR booth has been going really well. Patrick thanked Mj for all of her time and effort in helping him get the membership drive up and going. a. Folks interested in sitting at the membership booth for Tuesday, October 8^th should let Patrick know what times they are available.
