President's Report

2.1 The CR newspaper, CR Corsair, has released a spring issue recently, but there is no recognition of campus clubs.

a. Mj met with Cheryl Tucker to get deadlines for article submissions.

b. Mj would like someone to volunteer to write an article for the upcoming issue.

2.2 We will be setting up the AGS display in the Forum breezeway display case this Sunday, Feb. 2^nd, at 1pm.

a. Mj opened the floor up for discussion about the theme for this month's display.

i. Members agreed that we should focus on promoting our membership drive for the theme and have our service projects be secondary.

2.3 Mj has set the schedules for some of the spring service projects.

a. Adopt-A-Highway will be scheduled monthly on Sundays @ 12:00pm.

b. Dunes Restoration will be scheduled on Saturdays from 9-1pm.

c. Diqui mentioned that the Humboldt Bay Nat'l Wildlife Refuge is planning on having another planting event during the semester. She will keep us posted.

d. Adie heard that the Arcata Community Forest will be hosting a plant eradication (I image these would be non-native plants) event on Saturday, April 12^th. She will keep us posted.

e. March is Women's History Month and Mj would like AGS to participate by hosting a presentation consisting of 3 Humboldt County women who have made an impact in the community.

i. Mj suggested DeVita Copeland, Site Manager for Klamath/Trinity campus as a potential speaker.

ii. Mj welcomes anyone to help her coordinate this event.

iii. We could charge a nominal admission (ASB cardholders free, $1 students, $3 general) to raise money.

iv. Most of the money is to be made with a refreshment table during the event.

f. Charlotte will update the website calendar to reflect the service project dates.

2.4 Mj noticed that PTK is selling PTK merchandise in the bookstore. She would like to see AGS get in on the action.

a. Mj will check with Shirley/Jean about the process for AGS to possibly sell T-shirts.

2.5 It would be nice if AGS had a newsletter to promote AGS. It doesn't have to be a major venture.

a. Adie suggested getting local businesses to advertise in the newsletter for a fee.

b. We could enter the newsletter in the spring conference competition and win a whole lot of glory for the Gamma Rho Chapter.

c. Adie will work on getting ads, Charlotte and Diana will work on graphics, and Mj and Patrick will work on articles.

2.7 We have the small display case, but we don't have the small display case! Well, at least not to the point where we can actually put anything in it.

a. Last semester the advisors received keys to the case, but they were the wrong keys!

b. Mj has spoken with Everett in maintenance, and he will be sending keys to the advisors shortly.

2.8 Last semester the seed was planted to join forces with the Forestry and Natural Resources Club on some projects.

a. Mj has emailed the FNR Club about doing a membership drive for their club jointly with our membership drive. The FNR Club President, Margaret Burton, is excited about the prospect but needs to run the idea by the members.

b. FNR Club is also doing trails restoration projects, which AGS members are invited to participate in.

2.9 We will be building a team for the upcoming Relay For Life event this summer. Members should start thinking about whether or not they want to be on the team. If all goes well, AGS will be the first CR team to walk in the relay.

a. Mj will keep us posted on team information.

2.11 The 1^st Vice President position is still vacant.

a. Adie has volunteered to step into the position. In accordance with the chapter bylaws, the Executive Officers will need to nominate her for the position and the general members will need to vote on it at the next meeting. Good luck Adie you're a shoe-in!

b. With Adie leaving the roost, the ICC position will become vacant.

i. Diana wants a crack at being the ICC Rep.

Advisor's Report (Diqui)

7.1 Diqui gave us the official welcome back speech. "Welcome." (It was short, but sweet.)

7.2 She suggested raising funds by placing ads on the website and getting a Co-op donation number.

7.3 She was asked by Mike Butler if the Math & Science Club could place their link on our website. Everyone liked that idea. She will keep us posted with the details.

a. She also mentioned Math & Science Club raised 'mucho' bucks with the coffee and bagel table. We could set up shop outside the physical science building and creative arts.

2^nd Vice President's Report

4.2 We will be having our first membership booth and bake sale on Thursday, Feb. 6 in front of the LRC. The booth will move to the Forum Breezeway if it rains. (No one buys soggy brownies anymore.)

a. We will also be selling baked goods at the booth.

b. Last semester the members agreed to help support the CASA cause by getting members to report their Safeway cards numbers. For every Safeway card number reported, Safeway will give CASA a percentage of the money you spend using your Club Card.

c. Mj passed around the booth/table sitting schedule.

d. We may not have enough people for the Feb. 24 booth to have a bake sale, so help out if you can. We need all the opportunities to make money we can get!

Treasurer's Report

5.1 We have enough money to pay for the AGS logo we have on our Adopt-A-Highway sign, but not much else. See.we need to raise funds.

Secretary's Report

6.2 The Gamma Rho website cannot be accessed from the new CR website yet.

b. Charlotte will try to update the site ASAP.

I.C.C Rep. Report

8.1 Adie has emailed Teri Clark, the CA governor of Rotary, about AGS. In turn Teri has sent an email to the local Rotary Clubs for donations, but Adie hasn't had any response yet.

a. Adie has joined RotarAct (intermediary between Rotary and high school), so she will work on getting donations or contacts from them. By the way, members who are 18-30 years old can join. Sad to say, most of us present were TOO OLD to join.

i. Adie suggested members brainstorm on a list of fundraising ideas at the next meeting.

a. Mj will work on getting the process started.

Top	Sat., February 8 GAMMA RHO CHAPTER (AGS) Executive Meeting Minutes 02/08/03 Time: 15:10 - 16:20 Place: Marie Callendar's Restaurant In Attendance: Mj Goble - President, Adie Baker - 1^st Vice President, Patrick Cross - 2^nd Vice President, Charlotte Peters - Secretary Mj - President: 1. Congratulations to Adie on her bid as 1^st Vice President 2. Mj announced that we made a $200 profit at the bake sale! 3. All officers agreed to give CASA the donation money ($25 so far) that was raised during the membership drive. a. Mj will present Ahn Fielding with the donation after our next bake sale. 4. We will need a 'cheat sheet' at the membership booth outlining AGS requirements and CASA. 5. Mj would like to amend the chapter by-laws. a. She has found that students interested in joining are hesitant to join because of the service point requirement. b. She would like to reduce the service point requirement for initial members from the 12-14 point requirement to 10 and allowing the members to earn the points however they want. c. Many new members have less time to fulfill the service point requirement than continuing members because they join later in the semester. d. Charlotte expressed concerns about complicating the by-laws and getting in the habit of revising the by-laws every time potential members have complaints. e. Adie didn't want to be unfair to continuing members who have to earn the 12-14 points under strict guidelines f. Adie suggested keeping the by-laws as is and reviewing the initial members' point requirement at the end of the semester to see if each member qualifies for Continuing Membership or not. g. Mj would like to prevent end of semester reviews because it can be taxing to do case-by-case evaluations every semester. The 10-point amendment would be more 'cut and dry'. h. Officers agreed to bring the amendment to the members for a vote. Mj will write up the amendment and email it to the members, so it can be voted on. i. In the meantime, we can let potential members know that this amendment is being proposed to the membership. 6. Mj and Charlotte were brainstorming about the newsletter and Adie and Patrick agreed with their master plan. a. Patrick will write an article about the membership drive. b. Adie will write an article about the Rotarac club she is involved in. c. Charlotte will write about CASA and gather the graphics. d. Mj will write about the Grand Gamma Rho'er award recipients and have a "President's Corner" article. e. Mj will ask Diqui to write about HBNWR and Justine to write about her research at Yo'okop. f. Mj will ask Diana to work on the layout of the newsletter.
