November 18, 1999

    The University of Illinois Collegiate 4-H Club met on Thursday, November 18, 1999 in 122A Bevier Hall.  The meeting was called to order at 6:35 pm by President Sarah Pfeifer.  Twelve members were present.  Angie went over the secretaries minutes from the October meeting.  Sarah pointed out that the HIP club leadership workshop was in November, not December as written in the minutes.  Amy made a motion to approve the minutes as amended.  Marla seconded.  Motion passed.  Amy talked about the Treasurer's report from last month which was redone since October and went through this months report.

ACES Council Report- Marla Schnitzler
    The T-shirt design contest is still going on.  The design should represent all 7 departments in the college.  If you are interested in participating, e-mail Brea Nelson (bnelson1@uiuc.edu) ASAP.  There is a $50 prize for the winning design.
    Applications for an ACES Council office are available in 101 Mumford.

ACES Open House Report- Marla
    Open House is March 3rd and 4th.  We will probably be selling the same items as last year which were caramel apples and suckers.  Donuts and coffee were also suggested.  The display will be set up at Open House as well.  A committee was formed to help Marla plan for Open House.  It consists of Amy Hunter, Angie Haag, Rachel Wiandt, and Eric Brucker.

Old Business
    There was a good turnout for RSO Flag Football.  We even made it to the semifinals.  Good Job!  A broom ball tournament will also be held in February.
    C4-H also had a great turnout for 4-H Day.  For next year, having our own event which we would have sole control of was brought up.  A volunteer is needed to look farther into what we can do as a club for 4-H Day next year.
    Two of our members attended C4-H Regionals in South Dakota.  A total of 87 C4-Hers were there.  Next years regionals will be at The Ohio State University.  Since we did not have our dues paid at regionals, we had no voting rights.  Paying our dues was brought up.  Since we didn't have enough of our membership present at this meeting, we will be voting on dues payments at the next meeting.
    Angie talked a little bit about Nationals in Denver, CO February 25-27.  Registration is $125 plus hotel stay which is about $75 per night for 3 nights.  Plane tickets will be about $250.  An estimated cost for the trip is at about $600.  Hopefully, we will be able to get SORF funds to bring our cost down.  If you are interested in attending Nationals, please e-mail Angie (ahaag@uiuc.edu) ASAP so she can accurately fill out the SORF request.

New Business
    A meeting schedule for next semester was discussed.  Marla brought up having one meeting a month and one service/social event.
    The December meeting date and time was set.  It will be Dec. 11 from 12 noon until 2.  It will be in either 426 Mumford or the State 4-H Office.  Lunch will be provided.  Please RSVP to Angie (ahaag@uiuc.edu) so we know how much food to order.
    Rebecca Swearingen volunteered to work on the display board.  Any else interested in working on it can contact her.

    Amy Hunter moved to adjourn the meeting.  Angie Haag seconded and meeting was adjourned.
