meeting 5 Mar 2009 
4-5pm Ekstrom 409

present: Roger Dotsey, Jay Spenlau, Mike Oghia, Gerry Williger
regrets: Joel Graham, Casey LaRue, Phil Stoller, Dave Kitchel (all class conflicts)


APPLICATIONS:  reference letters can be accepted late (probably Monday after
Spring break), but the rest of the application materials should be in on time

Rudy - has application forms done
will put something out on SGA e-mail - needs a couple of days' notice
other suggestions to spread the word:
1) have members invite five people each to apply
2) use RSO listserve


How many members are active given our attendance rules?
10-12

Tapping: we should do it.
Graduating seniors should have gowns already; at least, so they should be
able to tap in a gown.
They should wear a Mortar Board t-shirt if can't use gown for tapping.
Gerry can get people's schedules for tapping from the Registrar's office.

Roger - will get application from Rudy, send it to Joel, put it out
on listserves.

Goal: Get first notice out by Friday, March 6.
Applications can be either electronic or on paper
Put down that for further questions about applications, contact Roger or Rudy.

Roger: ask current members

CALENDARS:
Christi Metzger, First Year Initiatives Director - 
wants to get planners in hands of all freshmen
BUT, they shouldn't have to pay for it.  She's willing to 
pay slightly above cost for it.  
It's a guaranteed market.
Mike: What about Gray's?  Can we team up with them?
Gerry: We should have a firm agreement with Christi Metzger before we start
talking with Gray's or other companies about a collaboration.






FLOWERS FOR GRADUATION:

Idea for new company - taking credit cards is a good thing.
Gerry will forward the e-mail.
Joe Davilo (Commencement) asked Roger D. whether we'd commit to coming 
 every semester.
They like the security of having the commitment.

Casey LaRue: Our contract is through spring 2010.  We can't change companies
this year, but can revisit the issue.
