• Considerations for future fundraising:
• Should we continue striving to raise money for the arc, or will this result in waning interest from the group?
• Should we think of another project within Heifer to raise money for?
• Should we choose another fundraiser entirely?
• Think about these options and any other suggestions. We will discuss this on our last business meeting of the semester.
• Ag day:
• Definitely doing Kiss a Pig.
• Face painting again.
• If AG council decides to do grilling, then perhaps we could sign up for a time slot. It seems to make a lot of money.
• Possible smoothies or snow cones
• Maybe a raffle? We would need to come up with an item to raffle off.
• We could make specialty drinks like cucumber lemonade, iced tea, etc.
• Please give a summary of the ideas to Malora (Lara)!
• Annual reports are due Friday. Email Sara with any questions.
• Everyone must sign risk management sheet.
• Fill out a survey about retreat.
• Movie at 7pm at the Hoff about this Thursday about exploiting food/people.
• Policies and procedures:
• Changed to “at least one weekend event for rush” as opposed to two, but it still says that everyone must attend at least one weekend event. Therefore, next semester everyone must attend the one weekend event next semester.
• We are creating a handbook for incoming officers. If you know how to do something important like get the key for the board from Libby, or reserve a room, get food permits etc. write a short paragraph explaining how to do that, and email it to Sara.

Sum-Up:

• Start pre-selling cookbooks!
• Send Molly photos from the retreat.
• Think about what kind of fundraising to do from this point on.
• Don’t forget annual reports are due THIS FRIDAY!
