"Anyway, I think Saturday Scholars is especially important for our elementary ed. folks to get in on. They’re the ones who need to get used to dealing with partially causing the sorrow and self-loathing that develops during childhood."

Advisory Board Meeting
Minutes
Jesse Dylan Watson, secretary



Note: As it has been a very long time since this meeting took place, my recollection of it is lacking, I fear. Thus, I’m going to take this opportunity to let you into my art form. These minutes will be conveyed exactly as my notes dictate—completely random, confusing, chaotic and nonsensically, without me even bothering to elaborate on anything or make it presentable or understandable. Enjoy!

Sept. 12 Advisory Board Meeting Minutes


(A Brief Note: This is my first time and, really, I have no idea what I’m doing. Thus, if there are problems with how these minutes are written, please let me know in a kindly fashion. Remember, all I get out of this job is pizza.)

Attendance
Absent was Ryan Voight, who was rather ill, and the President, who did eventually roll in at 7:22 and told us not to ask. We all assumed gastric difficulty was the cause of her tardiness, because she said she was not making out, nor has she been for days, possibly weeks. Kirsten wasn’t present, but Amanda gave the report for her. I also believe Kathy was possibly supposed to be there, but she wasn’t (and we don’t blame her one bit.) Also present was Hercules the Pug.


President Jen’s Report
#1 was to welcome us back. Jen’s glad we’re safe.
#2 was that we’re planning to turn Chris’s truck into the Titanic hitting the Island of Misfit Scholars. (Hopefully there will be no injuries this year, as this tends to be a complex and problematic process.)
#3 was to delegate general committees (and a general groan was emitted by all present).
Website: Ryan Voight
T-shirts: Jen
Community Events: Chrystal
(Injected here was the thought that Campus Coffee Break should be discussed next meeting. This is either under Community Events or Social Events, we’re not certain.)
Creole Fest: Jesse (depressingly)
Fundraising: Veronica
Hamlet’s Mill: Kathy

Note: Please join a committee or two. Work stinks.

Note on Creole Fest: We’re thinking of doing it in stages, like monthly, and doing it at nursing homes such as Milton Young Towers. The old folks appreciate this, and it would be a good community event. Everyone in Minot is invited.

CSO (Kirsti’s report, as delivered by Amanda, with Amanda’s own report interspersed)
Amanda talked a bit about funding and how we’ll actually acquire funds this year. It was all important but shan’t be included in its entirety here. The main point was that, in order to achieve fundage, whatever we ask for, we must already have. That is to say, they will basically double what we have now (or can get), which isn’t much, but that’s how it goes. (The general tone was upbeat, so no worries. Someone should donate a guitar, though. See Vice Presidential Report.)
Checking: $230
Savings: $358.64
Our debt to Maggie, but not society, is finally paid, and Amanda is on crutches because of it. Let this lesson be learned. It’s lucky we don’t owe Maggie interest, or we’d all be broken men and women.

Vice President Veronica
Basically, she (and the rest of us) think music is important and that the honors room should have musical instruments. For starters, we think an acoustic guitar would be nice. If one is not donated, we may take up a collection or something.

Hercules was asleep at 8:00, and I was close to it.
At 8:10, we dispersed, with joyous shouts of triumph and glee, and President Jen climbed back into the jacket on the wall to hibernate until the next meeting.
