Laura commenced this week's meeting, and introduced a guest speaker named
Wendie Weisman, the director of the Olympiad of the Arts.

Ms. Weisman addressed a community service opportunity associated with the
event.  The happening is an art competition for high school and lower
division college students.  This year the concentrations are the Visual
Arts, Photography, and Creative Writing.  The just of Ms. Weisman's
presentation was that she really needs people to help encourage others to
participate.  She specifically mentioned she needs assistance in
designing the flyer, volunteers for an advisory board, and word of mouth.

President, Saba O. will be our Treasurer, Melissa Kieselbach will

Before the close of our meeting, Laura reminded our members that next
week would be our last meeting, and spoke about the AGS State
Scholarships.  The scholarships will be due soon after the beginning of
the next semester, and the reason she wanted to mention it now was that
there are recommendations needed.  Andy further mentioned that these
scholarships are competitive, and so our chapter can only send the top
scholarship applications. Find the application online (to be posted late
November) at www.ags-honor.org

Laura adjourned our meeting.
