Our first announcement was that volunteer sheets for the Festival of Trees would be coming soon.

All other activity participation sheets will be finalized after today, so please make any necessary choices and changes.

It was also announced that all of the candy bar money has to be turned in by next Wednesday.
Anyone with extra candy bars was to try to get them to Melissa by Thursday, so we could try to sell them at the Trail Symposium activity.

Tan, our Green Campus chair, proposed we fund a rain barrel at the Scott Community College Belmont Campus. All but one were in favor. The proposal was passed.

KJ announced the final costs for the Environmental Club website. 79.95 hosting fee + $9.00 domain name fee + Privacy fees = $115.00 all together.
All were in favor of funding this proposal.

It was then announced that everyone was to send KJ pictures of the club activities to put on our website.

Our first order of business was to announce that we are selling environmentally friendly t-shirts for $5.00 a piece.

We learned that everyone is to sign up for at least two activities to get credit in their environmental science class.

KJ announced that we will have an $85.00/per year fee for the website, so we took a vote on paying for that cost, and all were in favor.

We discussed the possibility of a fundraising dinner from 6-9pm on April 19th, which is a Thursday.

A list of activities available so far this semester was announced. They include Iowa Water Snapshot, River cleanup, Roadside Cleanup, Garbage Survey, Festival of Trees, and Nahant Marsh.

Next, we decided we would be selling candy bars for $1.00 a piece starting today. There are 36 and 48 candy bars in a box. The types of candy we will be selling are Snickers, Crunch, and M&Ms. Each member who participates must sign out his or her box(es) and give the money to Ellen when through.

Our activism/education chair, KJ, announced an activity involving snapshots of water on Saturday October 21, 2006 from 8am-noon. Contact KJ for more information about this activity.

Any member who has not yet chosen or been assigned to a committee is to choose one and talk to the committee chair as soon as possible.
