The Voices’ Notes

12-11-2005

President – Elliot Howe
Everyone needs a planner by next semester.
There needs to be a battle of the bands meeting soon – our charity is going to be Hunger Task Force for this event.
Drew and Eric need to work on getting more band contacts soon. Everyone needs to also work on coming up with a name for this event, since ‘Tones for Scones’ was unfairly voted down, we still need a name – email it to Elliot.

VP of Operations – Doughsef McManus
Missed Classes
Punishment for missed classes next semester – $1.00 per class – The possibility to reduce these fines rest on your shoulders alone, at the end of each semester if you have a GPA of 3.0 then your missed classes dues are cut in half. If you have a 3.5 then the fees are cut by 3/4. If you receive a 4.0 than no matter how many classes you missed you will owe nothing for your fees. Also important to note, the fees from this punishment will be going directly to the Benny Oliver fund, so even if you owe a lot because of your laziness, at least it goes to a great cause. The cap limit for each member for this punishment is set at $30.

VP of Membership – Thomas Connell
Jerseys for events will be $15-20 a piece.
Initiate Pins are being ordered. As well as membership badges.
Tommy is emailing professors for student recommendations – these are meant to get teachers to come forward and ‘finger us’ out as good students.
If you have any possible buddies or guys you might know that would like to join and could also be a productive part of the fraternity – send them Toms’ way.

VP of Philanthropy – Eric David (E.D.)
There will be another visit to the Alterra old folks home coming up soon – possibly in February. Chad is on that.
Please ring bells for the Salvation Army, go to bells2ring.org – don’t be lazy.
Eric will soon be emailing all of us a student involvement email – please read it and consider the points that it makes about getting involved on and off campus.

Old Business – Approval of Calendar.
Approval of Budget.
With the possibility that we might not be needed at Levi’s house this semester (although he said he would try to get us a gig there) we are setting up a Halo 2 tournament (fundraiser) on Xbox. This will draw a crowd and will also be a fun event to help us with our dues.
Send out invitations soon to Alumni about exact date and place for our White Rose Formal in April.
There will be no Easter Sunday Meeting – we will reiterate this as it creeps up.
There will be a “luncheon” on the last day of classes to celebrate our successful completion of another year of college. This will most likely be held at Bushnell’s house, if anyone has a picnic table, blanket, or basket to contribute to this it would be greatly appreciated.

The Voice realized in last weeks’ meeting that he was the only E-Board member without a budget; this did not please The Voice at all. He tried to have Eric David motion for it, but Eric David was thinking about Liz Kaufman and entirely forgot about it. So The Voice made his own move, as the Small Position Chair for Public Relations he fought for and won a $15 budget. That smells like Victory to me.

The present for Jada Ann will be bought very soon, most likely including Bushnell, Tom, Colleen and whomever else that would like to participate, The parents will most likely now be given a dinner gift certificate to use at their own convenience instead of us forcing it to be on one specific night. This will most likely occur at Piggy’s. Classy.
