John F. called the meeting to order.

Then, Jasmine suggested we play an icebreaker where members were instructed to arrange themselves in order by birth date.  The challenge being, there was no speaking allowed.

Next, Jon T., our new Points Secretary, spoke about points.  Jon began by stating he plans to have the point totals up on the website by late Sunday evening.  Then, Jon wanted to remind everyone that points are due April 30.  On that note, if you are having any issues meeting your points¢ requirement, Jon suggested you contact any officer or coordinator to come up with suggestions.

After that, Phillip spoke about community service.  First, Phillip congratulated the club on the successful Habitat for Humanity event.  Next, Phillip spoke about the before mentioned opportunity to volunteer for Adaptive Physical Education.  He stated this opportunity is very flexible and anyone is welcome to drop in at anytime and volunteer.  Lastly, Phillip said there would be an opportunity for a walk for a good cause and a possible beach clean up day.  Phillip will give more information about these events later.

Then, Tanja gave a brief update about the State Convention.  The decided costumes, dance, and nametag ideas were all announced.

Next, Saba spoke about fundraising.  The suggested bake sale has been cancelled, and another event will replace it (to be announced at the next meeting).  In addition, Saba was pleased to announce that Chevy's night was a success with our members managing to raise $205.

Lastly, Brittany spoke about the Teacher Appreciation Dinner.  She made a plea to members to please get more involved.  First, Brittany asked that everyone take some initiative and start soliciting donations.  If you are going to the dinner, it is your responsibility to gather at least one donation to assure your teacher procures a prize.  Secondly, Brittany encourages people to come to the Friday decorating sessions that begin around 3:00 pm in the workroom (located in the Campus Center directly behind Drip Coffee).  Lastly, if anyone has any circus themed decorations or tablecloths to donate, please contact Brittany.
