September General Meeting

Hey Folks!

Just wanted to update you from tonight's General Meeting. A lot of you all couldn't make it, and even stopped by the SAA table at Osteoblast to let us know. We appreciate that! We know how busy everyone is. We did have a decent turn out to the meeting tonight and we basically just hit the highlights of what is coming up. If you just want to check the minutes from the Board Meeting and familiarize yourself with the Events tab at the top of the blog this will be your best source for information. We have a LOT of events coming up this month and at least 4 of them include baking of some kind. We hope you all are ready :D

We did nominate first year liaisons tonight! This year we have decided to take three and they are going to be: Christina Gargano, Lauren Petrillo, and Rachel Woodson. We will have their pictures and bios up on the Officers page soon!! If any of you first year spouses have any questions or concerns, these ladies are going to be your voice at our board meetings from now on so please let them know.

Don't forget about the Couples Workshop next Tuesday!! We REALLY need everyone to RSVP "going" on the facebook event because we would like to order pizzas and need to have a headcount for ordering. We are trying to set up childcare for this event, but it may not be until Sunday before we find out yay or nay on this.

We have been asked, as of yesterday, to provide dessert for the Whitecoat BBQ on Sept 26th. Last year a company donated pre-cut cookie dough and all we had to do was put them on cookie sheets and bake them. There will be a sign up sheet going around on the Facebook page for people who are willing to bake these cookies/make something else. This is not a for sure thing yet because we are still waiting to hear back from the company so if they can't we will be needing help baking other desserts for this event. They are expected 1,400 people so if we don't get the cookie dough we will just do the best we can to provide for as many people as possible.

FALL FESTIVAL is coming up!! It's going to be October 30th from 5-7PM. This seems like a while away but it's really not! We have a lot to do to get ready for this event because we want to make it really great. We need club involvement so we will be contacting the clubs to participate. If your student is in a club, have their president contact the board to sign up for a table and an activity at the festival. If you are wanting to help run the event the day of or just help with the planning process we will be having a "planning meeting" NEXT Thursday, September 18th at 6:30pm. (This is also Crockpot Day just FYI, check the events!!) Please come out to this meeting. There will also be other sign up going around for this event so please let us know if you're coming to help.

The new ornaments for this year have been ordered and we are taking pre-orders for these. They will be in to sell for the Whitecoat BBQ. We will be selling these for $8 or 2 for $15. The blue ones from last year are still available as well for $5 or you can buy one of last years and one of this years for $12. These make GREAT Christmas gifts!! The new ornaments from this year will be on a ceramic circular tile and the proof picture is below:



Please feel free to contact the board about any questions with the events coming up. With all the dates coming at you at once it can be overwhelming and confusing so please ask someone!! We'd love to have as much involvement at possible.
