Board Meeting Minutes, 10-19-03 I am international futbol star. M. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) The Second General Meeting We will hold a second general meeting on Wednesday, Oct 29th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. The topics of discussion will include the upcoming Mitsuwa Trip and electing J-Club representatives. Afterwards, we will show episode two of GTO. Vince will work on acquiring the key to the A/V cabinet (remind me to bring my S-video cable, if necessary). I will send out a notice to the listhost. 2) Mitsuwa Trip The Mitsuwa Trip is scheduled for Saturday, November 8th, from 10pm to 2pm. We are going to require that those who wish to attend RSVP to me. For transportation, we will ask Regine about renting a van, and we may also inquire with people close to the board who have cars (Vince, Sonny, Toshio, Cassie’s friend [forgot his name…]). If worst comes to worst, we can take the CTA. 3) J-Club Representatives This is the working title for the two officer-elects formerly known as “First Year Representatives.” At the second general meeting, Shawn and Satomi will talk about their experience as J-Club Reps and we will ask for applications. The application will consist of the applicant’s name, year in school, relevant past experience, and an answer to the question, “What would you make J-Club?” 4) J-Table J-Table did us the favor of providing us with a strong connection to graduate students; we plan to return the favor by organizing groups of J-Club members who wish to attend J-Table together—provided that J-Table is still in operation. Vince will email the J-Table listhost to ask what’s going on this year. 5) Faculty Advisor Although Mr. Ketelaar has agreed to be our Faculty Advisor, we believe he will be too busy to advise us. We look to ask Mr. Noto, Ms. Miyachi, or Ms. Fields to take his place. 6) Iron Chef Chicago Iron Chef Chicago (ICC) is still a bit too far away for us to be talking in detail about it, but we should definitely address the following issues at our upcoming ICC-only board meeting: drawing chefs from U of C only, holding auditions for chefs, holding auditions for an MC, contacting Culinary Club and Off-Off Campus for these purposes, getting a knife, getting a new speaker system. Before this ICC meeting, however, we must send out a general interest letter to all cultural RSOs about ICC in general and about our need for chefs and an MC. (End of minutes.)
