Meeting notes: November 12th, 2009 [Nov. 12th, 2009|10:18 pm] hoskie Meeting called to order at 8:33 PM President’s Report: I’ve got some good news and I’ve got some bad news. The bad news is, I have no good news. Vice President’s Report: CLEAN~ They deleted our mailbox, which is kind of weird… but we’re getting a new one. Treasurer’s Report: DONATE~ Secretary’s Report: Why don’t more people like Stargate: Atlantis?! Librarian’s Report: I’ve been putting some boxes on the shelves. I realise that it’s very easy to be distracted in the Forum, especially now that we have a television and a couch, but it’s November now and we really need to get this finished. If you even put half a box away whenever you come down, I bet we could be done by December. Go for later letters in the alphabet (e.g. L and onward) or you could shift shelves from the beginning to make shelving easier for us in the long run. So, in short: SHELVE. Ian: An alumni of the university, Richard Reichner, was down inquiring whether or not we had gotten his friend’s sci-fi book collection (of approximately 1000 books), which he had donated shortly before he died. We don’t think he was a Forumite, but even if he donated it to campus/library, we probably would have ended up with the books. The friend’s family has been enquiring as to what happened to the collection. This is just kind of a random good deed that we’re looking into. Forumites of 1999 – 2000, do you remember a 1000 book donation? If you know anything, just post about it and we’ll get into contact with Richard. AC Report: We got some of the DVDs we ordered in – but we’re still waiting for on some others (like the Complete Hercules and Brisco County Jr). We have a price range for one of the limited allocations we made last week. Unfortunately, we can’t get the Doctor Who version of Scene It?, because even if we wanted to deal with the DVD not being Region 1, it doesn’t matter anyway because it isn’t being sold on Amazon. But we’re getting Harry Potter Scene It? and Star Trek Scene It?. The allocation is now exactly $60.55. I’ll be making a reallocation for Festivus later. It would be great to know how many people are planning on coming to Festivus as there hasn’t been much talk about it on the boards. We’re hoping to see more alumni this year. I have given Holly permission to run a cleaning event. She’ll be bringing in a vacuum and so help me Forumites, you will show up! Adib: The good news is we have a room to do bi-weekly movie nights. The bad news is, all we have is an projector. We have no speakers, no DVD player, and no screen. So “Candy from Strangers” night had to be postponed. I have already picked out a theme for the next movie night: “Therapy is Useless When You’re Mindfucked.” Sub AC for Life (Everyone): Get well soon! We miss you, Drow! Historian’s Report: Alternate Universe #617 – “The Rule of Ian the Terrible” Committees PR: We have a website. Come to our club, please. We like you. Fundraising: The Peter’s Hat Committee is great success! Old Business Ian: I would like to make a reallocation for food for Festivus from Quiznos for $164.98 – it’s $14.98 more than we allocated for last time. Seconded. Acclimated. Lukas: Clean. Shelve. Cleave. New Business None! Announcements Phil: Doctor Who: Waters of Mars. This Sunday. Meeting closed at 8:57 PM CONSTITUTION CHANGE VOTE Jackie: In order to have a budget, we need to change our constitution to say that “members” of our club are people who are members of the undergraduate student government (which includes all people who undergraduate student activity fees). I know some of you were asking if you can pay the student activity fee and then vote… and we’re looking into it, HOWEVER you could spend your money in better ways – donate to us! Ian: These definitions are for the sake of USG only. This only applies to voting for budgetary matters and possibly for voting for signatory officers (we’re looking into that). Jackie: We love you! You can take out our books, you can attend our events and eat our food. We just don’t want USG to cut our budget… again. 10 in favour 0 opposed 2 abstentions Motion passes.
