September minutes approved

DCLSA Archives: few files dealing with the organization and planning (getting started)
Minimal flyers, posters, bulk equals meeting minutes
Earliest stuff from 1950's

Combine bake and craft table, one table should be plenty

Holiday Party will be Dec. 17th or 18th
Budget? What is it?
Suggestions for the event?
- Tower Room: less conducive to socializing and eating
- 1902 is an option, can we move tables?

Raffle is moving along, tickets are made and distributed
Halloween get together: need help with refreshments
- Michelle volunteered to make a cake
Judges and prizes?
- Ballot?
- Lindt chocolate? $5 Dirt Cowboy gift card?
- Three categories: funny, scary, unique

3 flowers: 1 death, 2 births

Nothing new to report
Michelle did the design for the raffle poster
Can we get a Wiki? Ask Web Committee if that would work better than a website.

Budget? Look at last year, talk to Barb Bushor
Venue: Tower Room not ideal?
- Crowded, seating not ideal
Lunch instead of finger foods? More real food rather than sweets.
Afternoon with appetizers and desserts? Lean toward lighter fare/appetizers, much easier to deal with both set-up and budget wise
Later in the day is nice
Novak is an option, has nice round tables, but big
1902: can't move tables
Final opinion: Tower Room, late afternoon, staff donate desserts, appetizers from Co-op or somewhere
More ideas: hire a student to “cater”? Pay them to help out with drinks and food
- light music in background? Ask Dan Weintraub (speakers)
- Set up food in different areas instead of one central location
- Usually too hot, bring in fans? Windows do open, ask Wendell if there is a way to regulate heat
- Needs more Holiday spirit: ornament swap, mitten tree, humane society donations?
