Julia

Ben

Oz

Allegra

Lewis 

Rodrigo 

Spencer

Wes

Jay

(there were more names read, I just couldn’t type them fast enough, so if you payed Jacob but your name is not on this list it is probably on Jacob’s list. He is a responsible, sharp lad.) 

Danny, once he finishes his sandwich

cash is best

venmo is on its way

 

Jacob found $500 in out pay pal! Monies!

Noam says we have $600 in cash, a whole days worth of christmas trees! Christmas for days!

 

Swag:

 

We have 90 unfilled orders, from almost a year ago

 

Noam announces the new theme of the semester: GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER! 

We are nearly as bad as the spaced out dopers who work at Quincy post. 

 

Jacob suggest writing thank you notes to the very patient customers who have been waiting nearly a year for their shwagg.  

Noam says maybe throw in a bottle opener or sticker. 

Alan suggests giving away the stickers with the white backgrounds so he can get the clear ones he prefers. 

 

New stickers! Any artsy fartsy people comfortable with illustrator want to make some designs? Or anyone know who made the past designs?

 

Closet:

 

Purple plastic folder has bank statements from the 90s.

Kevin explains we used to have a room at the end of a hall in Mulford. We lost the room. Now we only have a closet and a box of things that used to hang in the room. 

“We don’t have a room and we will never get one,” Kevin says with great sadness. 

 

Noam rummages through the box of treasure that include:

a Tug of war, Soil vs. Forestry, plaque. Bummed I missed that one.

some third place logging sports award

amongst other things

 

Kevin’s thought on merchandise- Hats are the most important thing. Belt buckles on the other hand do not go fast. 

Danny does not agree. “They’re amazing” Danny says in reference to belt buckles. 

Wes likes the black and white trucker hats. They look awesome he says.

 

Before we leave the closet, Kevin wants a plan. 

 

Jay says check out the website. 

for $5 you can have your first and last name on the site!

 

Noam pulls out a “Fun forestry facts” poster with outdated information.

He decides to discard the poster due to its outdated information.

 

See a picture of Rick as an undergrad. Everyone has a mom. 

 

Noam says there are four boxed of terrible christmas decorations that were not brought out of the closet. 

Noam is on the hunt for classy christmas decorations— we’re not talking dollar store.

 

CAF:

 

If you want to go to CAF banquet you need to tell Noam by tomorrow and pay by tomorrow

There will be a PhD with a nose ring

and boxes of wine made by alumni (if you’re 21 of course, blah, blah)

 

SAF:

 

Ben says we need $7,000 from club to pay for everyone who wants to go to go.

Right now club as about $11,000.

this would be more than half our monies

16 people are signed up to go

for every 2-3 people we cut we save $1,000

Beans:

 

A week from today, Sept 28!

Get an alcohol permit now! Whew, otherwise Noam says we’d get arrested. My mom would not be happy. Jacob realizes he has lab until 5. Long discussion about who can go to the police station to get the permit. This conversation is too long. Wes and Noam pull through. I think. Hopefully this gets done. 

 

Building supervisor lives in the basement. 

 

Tuesday cooking party at Jacob’s house on Prospect and Channing. 

Jacob will provide beer. 

We will all cook chilly. 

 

Announcements:

 

Jacob has an announcement:

he is putting together a student survey to distribute at SAF

what can SAF do to help students?

should be crowd sourced

Ben points out that $40 is a lot of monnies for not very many resources

Az suggests more field-trips

Just something to think about and tell Jacob if you think of something interesting that you would want to ask your friends. 

 

Az:

Logging Sports needs another signatory- 10 minute online commitment and signature.

Danny, Lewis and Jay volunteer.

Jay is already is signatory so he doesn’t even need to do the 10 min training. Jay wins.

 

Alegra: 

if you have Yule ball suggestions tell her

Noam has secrets.
