Agenda:

T-Shirt Stuff

SAF (not in Wisconsin)

Brittany

T-Shirts:

Kevin- back in the day “Graphic Traffic” did everything for us. They never gave us back our designs. We have since moved our business elsewhere but Graphic Traffic still has our designs.

Anyone want to intimidate them for us?

Andrew volunteers.

Noam asks if Alan is also interested in intimidating Graphic Traffic. 

Jacob will work on “not all trees deserve hugs” T-shirt. People feel as if the pun has not been justly T-shirtified.

Officer Announcements

Ben- we are sending check to SAF today, tickets have been purchased, air b and b is booked

Jay- was accidentally kicked off the website but is working on getting back on. will be adding a list of current members

Alan- Sent out a google doc at the beginning of the semester you should add your contributions to Tiber to. 

 

Noam’s 4 pages of poetry were not included in last year’s timber. A true shame, but means that they will likely be included in this year’s timber. 

 

Jacob jokes that he spent all our money in Vegas. He did not. Phew!

 

Clap for Julia! Killing the merchandise nonsense that last year plagued us with. 

 

Can we order stickers?, Noam asks, 

 

No one likes the white background, except maybe Jacob.

Noam convinces Jacob he is wrong. 

 

Jacob needs hats.

 

Jacob want to throw away closet things. Alan wants to burn closet things. Sophia wants to keep them, upon further consideration and the news that the things being given away are logging sports trophies Sophia reconsiders. 

 

Noam cannot properly say Campanille, he may be from Stanford says Alan. Sophia cannot spell Campanille, following this logic she may be from Stanford too.

 

Hunter says if you apply to be the mascot tree at Stanford and are at first rejected but then get the coveted tree position the next year you have to be a palm tree. 

 

Cool Tree Beezness:

 

NY Times article about wood as a renewable resource. There seems to be some contriversy about this 

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/05/business/economy/next-renewable-energy-burning-forests-if-senators-get-their-way.html?_r=0

 

Lets talk about trees. 

 

Wes suggests discussing anthropomorphizing trees. Ents. 

 

Game Day shirts are coming. Probably in two weeks

 

Noam wants ideas.
