Attendees: Neal Groothuis, Kathy Plinske, Doug Pratt, Charlie Ballowe, Ande Croll, Kelly Baluta

Meeting called to order at 8:06 P.M. CDT.

The first order of business was Matt Zanon's resignation. Kelly moved to accept it, seconded by Doug. By unanimous vote, the cabinet accepted Matt Zanon's resignation.

Next was the issue of filling the vacancy left by Matt. Doug moved that Paul Strasma should fill said vacancy, Kelly seconded the motion. The cabinet unanimously approved the motion.

Budget was next on the agenda. Doug moved to approve it as proposed, seconded by Kelly. Again, the cabinet approved the budget unanimously.

Following this, Neal moved to approve Paul's survey as it stood. Doug seconded this. After a brief discussion, Kelly offered to amend the motion to read that we would approve the survey subject to typographic and editorial revision. Neal considered this friendly. After further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

Discussion of reunion planning followed. Merits of various dates were considered (early in the summer has better weather, potentially avoids vacations; later avoids conflicts with school years). Contact will be made with IMSA to find what dates are possible; the date must be set by the time the next IMSAlum hits the press in November.

Next was regional club status. Ande read a letter from Julia outlining what she feels the cabinet needs to do to support regional clubs.

A quick run-down of the roles assigned earlier in the year followed, to see where people were at with their tasks.

Ande gave a recap of the events of the two move-in days. Turnout was low; there were only two people each day. On sophomore move-in day, the volunteers staked out the registration area to answer questions that parents and students might have; apparently this went over well.

The final topic for discussion was story ideas for the IMSAlum. Some of the ideas that came up were:

  • entrepreneurs (folds into IMSA's TALENT program)
  • fundraising (possibly going into results from last year's giving; bringing up "Alumni Hall" etc.)
  • soliciting volunteers for IMSA. The University Host program was discussed at some length as a volunteer opportunity to move forward on now

Hearing no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:10 P.M. CDT.
