12/18 Meeting

Because our attempts at an online meeting have failed miserably, we're going to try and meet tomorrow on 12/18, even though clubs are supposed to have ended, so after school, we'll go to the room. If we can't have the meeting there,I'll post the new place on both here and the forums (which you should all sign up for, by the way; http://www.forum.jykinturah.net/index.php for those who don't know).

Public Debaaaate!

Public debate was technically both a failure and a success; we got one person there, however, she is now willing to join the club after joining in the Thought Talk that we had, and because the snacks were given as a donation and some members who were unable to attend paid, we made a couple of dollars in profit. So, I'm looking at this as a success (one more member is still more in the way of membership than before), and we'll try and do this better next semester.

Meeting

We weren't able to have a meeting this Tuesday as, between Senior Projects and a field trip, there wasn't really anyone there to have a meeting with. However, we're dealing with a lot of things right now, so we can't afford to skip a meeting. As such, we'll either be meeting at another time this week (which I don't suggest, as people have other clubs that they need to go to on those days) or we do an online meeting using an AIM Chatroom. It's not impossible, we have done it many a time before, just not this year. Please voice your decision in the comments on this post; if no one comments, then we'll have an online meeting. Instant message me over AIM sometime between 5:00 and 5:30 Friday evening, and I'll set everyone in the chatroom. If we're good about it, it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to deal with everything. For those of you that don't have it, my AIM handle is WolfaitorMega.

Food Sale: The Aftermath

Well, the Food Sale was last Friday, and, although there were a lot of fires to deal with, we made it through. Those who bought the donuts, cups, and napkins have been reimbursed; all that remains is to pay Leadership their cut of the profits after reimbursing Rio, who bought the hot chocolate mix. Due to a mix-up, I currently hold all but $10 of the money (that is held by Alexandria), and right now I hold $36.04, so we probably made something about $40 or so. It's a decent amount, but I feel that if we had gotten more donuts, we would have made more money- this sale only got us about as much as our last recycling run, and took a lot more effort. So, we'll try and get the money all squared away this meeting, where we'll reimburse Rio, and hand the rest of the money to Alexandria, to deposit in the account along with the $38 from the last recycling run (that we decided to hold off on depositing so as to use for reimbursement, but was actually unneeded). So, come to JSA this Tuesday, and don't forget, because we have that Thought Talk on stem cell research.
