October 26, 2010 Meeting

Minutes from meeting on October 26, 2010

Ria Shroff (ISAP), Kirstin French (January-Start PIMs), Tami Brunelle (MAT), Emily Koch (MAT), Catherine Bogle (IE), Tonia Pence (MANG), Chamba Kaluba (C T), Erin Maslanik (SJ), Maggie Dudley (SLM), Annie Hostetter (SD).

Position Check-In

Emily (Campus Communications), reminded everyone to send pictures for the Bulletin Board, which she reported will be up on Wednesday 13th. She also reported she is working with SA to figure out the table tents and asked for members to bring her boxes to make suggestion boxes.

Funding Requests and Discussion

    • Jose – One King’s Mission and “Street Politics”

See Jose’s proposal (attached). He will no longer need the funds for accommodation, because accommodations are available on campus. Members asked Jose to ask neighborhoods for funding first. At this time he estimates he will be asking each neighborhood for approximately $150. He will contact the neighborhoods, then he follow up SISTA. Request will be tabled till Jose is able follow-up.

    • Doris Battle (presented by Emily)

There was a request for $100 for materials, drop cloth, paint and brushes for a PIM/MAT Mural in the Computer lab in the student center. More than likely the cost will be less, and Doris will return any extra funds. The matter was tabled and voting will take place next week, once members have a chance to see the mural design. There is no deadline for this request.

    • Erin - discussed funding for “Push for Peace,” guest speaker. Member decided the purpose was too unclear, funding request too high, and it seems unclear how much the neighborhoods really support the speaker.
