  The committee will use Jennifer’s human bingo game as a mixer before one of the meetings some time.
  We want to have a Valentine’s Day Party next semester.
  


• Publicity/Promotion/Marketing Committee:
  Infoshare went well.
  A lot of people signed up or saw it and made a mental note about our club.
  We’re not flyering right away.
  We’ll flyer before orientation (and JSoM auditions).
  We want to strengthen the members that we already have.
  We might get someone who’s back early from winter break table about C4-H at the transfer orientation.
  


• History/Website Committee:
  No updates.
  


• Relay For Life Committee:
  Michael & Nathan will co-chair this.
  Jess will set the guys up with Jennifer Cullins so she can give them ideas to work off of. She’s led our Relay team plenty of times.
  The event is the same week as nationals.
  We were hesitant, but decided to do Relay anyway.
  


• Fundraising Committee:
  Study-athon- the documents are done, and will go out in the next e-mail.
  Gift Wrapping for donations at Barnes & Noble? maybe next month.
  Wear 4-H Shirts.
  Dine in & Donate Membership Drive next semester.
  We need to vote on what % of fundraising goes towards your account at the next general body meeting.
  


• T-Shirt Committee:
  For the main place we’re looking at now (Nigth Owl): We need 24 shirts for a group discount. $9 a shirt. $11.75 if the shirts has designs on the front and the back of the shirt. That’s really cheap. They can screen or embroider fleece. Screen printing fleece might look tacky.
  Jess has a contact we need to utilize.
  


• Indiana/Ohio Conference Committee:
  We came up with this in the van ride back from the NCR Conference.
  Purdue is holding this. They got a $500 grant. It will probably not be an overnight event. We could volunteer to help them plan it.
  We’re going to send them what we came up with.
  We might set Brady (Jennifer would be willing to do this if Brady decides not to do this.) up with Tyler (PU) via Nathan.
  Someone from extension or the State office would have to be on the planning committee for this.
  Jeff just got a new position, so he wouldn’t have the time to do this.
  We could host the 2014+ North Central Region Conference?
  We could host it in Indy?
  We would have to work super hard on fundraising, grants, and sponsorships.
  Clubs have dissolved from the stress of an event like this. It might make the non-committee members feel outside of the loop.
  


• National Collegiate 4-H Conference
  We need to get the prices for this & book soon.
  We need to subscribe for the dates on Kayak.Com and HotWire.Com
  Fly with Southwest Airlines because it’s cheap.
  Use frequent flyer miles.
  Your fundraising goes towards this.
  5+ people might qualify as a group rate.
  We want to keep our money at the IU Credit Union rather than getting an SOA account.
  It’s a lot easier to get reimbursed etc.
  The vote to stay where we’re at was unanimous.
  


• Elections
  Nominations will be accepted in November.
  Elections will take place at the December meeting. We will still use the PowerPoint idea as a presentation at that meeting.
