Meeting Minutes for July 8, 2009

We are growing! This week we had seven people at the meeting.

Items discussed:

Logo - We are almost there folks!!! We have a basic prototype and should be ready for business cards and stationary by the end of the Summer semester.

Looking for chair people to:

Organize fundraisers – Melisa we need you!!!!

Activities – social events like rafting, bowling, partying, a concert etc….

ICC Representative – Fred Olivas is seriously considering this position

Organize Out Processing events for our returning soldiers.

Qualifications of membership are being reconsidered. Presently, to become a member with voting privileges, you must attend 2 meetings and 1 event. Next meeting we are going to be creating an amendment to our constitution to change that to either attending 2 meetings and 1 event or attending 4 meetings in one semester. The Secretary will have a sign in sheet from now on at every meeting and will be keeping a data base of the attendees.

We continued discussions on the need for a One-Stop Veteran’s Office. We read the power point presentation from the first meeting to the President of the college. We discussed the possibility of the new officers preparing for another meeting with the President in the fall semester.

Congratulations to Joe Chacon for being elected to the Treasurer’s position. Joe was nominated by President Jessica Waskow and the motion was seconded by Vice President Christian Reynoso. First day in office he is already signing paperwork that officializes our status as a club on campus!

Joe has some great ideas. He stated that we really need to firm up our relationship with Sac State and stream line the process of transferring there from ARC. We also need to swap links with their site.
