It went well despite having few volunteers. Bruce, Tony, Megan and Sammi bagged groceries and raised $96.59.

·  SSS Board Applications

Please fill the applications out! All returning members must do this!

New Business:

·  Blugold Organizations Bash (BOB) Event

Tony made a reservation, and we have a table. It is on Wednesday, February 4th, 2015, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tony will send out a doodle poll for volunteers because we must have a minimum of two people at the table at all times. Sean will update our display board.

·  T-Shirts

We needed to delay ordering the t-shirts that we decided on last semester due to concerns about using the university logo. Tony will double check the use of the logo so we can start sending out applications for ordering t-shirts. T-shirts will be about eight to ten dollars each for students if the Board pays part of the price.

·  Events for 2015

§  Ideas we discussed for fundraisers included bagging groceries at Mega Foods again or arranging with Burrachos to get part of the receipts for an evening. (Sean will check with Burrachos.)

§  Suggestions for community service included Community Table (Danielle will check into this), Humane Society (Danielle will check into this), Hope Gospel Mission (Tony will check into this), and nursing homes (Mason will check into this).

§  Our first social event for the semester will be a Valentine’s Day Party! The Advisory Board will purchase pizzas and soda to provide at the event. We will play games, do some taste-testing, and possibly watch a movie. Stephanie will look into reserving a room in Chancellor’s. Tony will send out a doodle poll for the pot luck.

·  Constitution Updates

We need to revise our constitution. Normally we create a constitution revision committee and will do so again this year. Stephanie will update us on the current constitution at the next meeting.
