We started out the meeting with Liz welcoming everyone and telling us that Pizza was to come! Liz took a show of hands to see how many people were at the first Kappa Delta Pi meeting. Liz then asked each of the officers to re-introduce themselves, for those that were new to the meetings.
COMMITTEES:
Amber then talked about the committees. A brief description was given for each committee. Sign-up sheets were also once again passed around. Three new committees have also been added. They are as follows:
- School Liason Committee--Members of this committee will approach local schools/PTAs to see if Kappa could help with any events
- Secondary Education Committee--This committee will come up with ideas that will benefit the secondary education majors because many of our activities are Elementary Ed. focused.
- Convo Committee--This committee will be in charge of coming up with fundraising ideas to raise money for those who are planning on attending convo. Money raised from the fundraisers, which can go until the end of the semester, will be used to reimburse expenses for those who attended Convo.
CONVO:
Convo will be paid for by individuals attending Convo. Fundraisers will be planned to help lower costs. Registration is $185. You must pay for your travel expenses, whether it be driving or flying. Your hotel stay will be approximately $35 (we have a few free rooms, which has helped to cut down on this expense). You will also need spending money for while you are there.
HIGHWAY CLEANUP:
The first highway cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, September 24, 2005 at 10:00. Everyone should meet behind Keystone in the morning. Donuts will be provided! The highway cleanup shouldn't last more than an hour or so. Remember, you must do a highway clean up in order to be eligible for initiation. The next highway clean up is Thursday, October 20 at 4:00.
TICKET FUNDRAISER:
Our ticket fundraiser that was supposed to begin today has been postponed until our tickets are printed. Everyone must sell tickets in order to be initiated into KDP.
COOKBOOK ORDERS:
No additional Cookbook Order forms have arrived yet. When they arrive, everyone will be notified as to where they can pick them up. Orders are still due on November 1st, but can be turned in any time between now and then.
BENEFIT CONCERT:
Lindsay, a member of the Cal U dance team, and education major has been diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease. A benefit concert is going to be held for her in October. If you attend the event, there is a possibility of service hours. We would like to see as many Kappa members attend as possible in order to help support our fellow education major.
DONATIONS:
Donations for Hurricane Katrina Victims can be given to our Treasurer, Keli. A receipt will be given to those who donate.
DUES:
Dues for Kappa are due by the end of February. The amount for new members is $50, and the amount for returning members is $35. Checks made payable to Kappa Delta Pi, and order forms can be turned in to Keli.
REQUIREMENTS:
Liz reviewed the requirements and membership checklist again. This information can be found on the website.
COMMITTEE MEETINGS:
At the end of the meeting, Amber broke the committees off into their groups. The committee members were to choose a chairperson, pick a meeting time for their committee, and also think of a few ideas for their committee. The committees will be overseen by one of the vice presidents, either Amber or Kahla.
NEXT MEETING:
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, October 4th. Hope to see everyone there!
