  - SOMEONE NEEDS TO RESERVE THE TABLE! (Shannon?)
Performance groups:

Other ideas

- have moving camera to tape people at dance-a-thon that would be projected onto big screens (people get to have their moment of fame)
- Prince editorial…? (Adjani and Lily)
Malawi Project: General info
- -Adjani – ask WWS about fountain, send blurbs/info to Cat to put on website
- -Solicitation letters! – passed hard copies out to members who were present at the meeting
Warm up
- did not get a list of people for committee b/c there weren’t that many people at the meeting –> task for next meeting
Officer Responsibilities:
- Adjani: design teaser poster, email Sari and Trace about designing color poster, email Cat w/blurbs, ask WWS about fountain
- Lily: submit p-board budget and go to p-board meeting

February 11th, 2009 :

Valentines Day Grams
1. Going well! 20+ sold on the first day!
2. Need to get some more stationary – Shannon’s on that
3. Tabling signups
Survey Results – Tuesday 10:30-11:30 is the best meeting time
Fundraising for kids in Malawi
1. Children with AIDS are suffocating to death without oxygen tanks – without oxygen, they are more susceptible to a more vicious form of AIDS + they have AIDS pneumonia
2. Not expected to fundraise by ourselves; oxygen tanks are on the pricy side (500+ dollars), so maybe one or two
AIDS vigil
1. Float candles in the woody woo fountain
2. Way to stop draining for a while?
3. email Patty (pachen@) if you would like to help with organization
NYC AIDS Walk – email Shannon (smercer@)
Lobby Dates & Issues – AIDS issues, emails, primer
Keep an eye out for collaboration with PADI for TB (March 24) and Malaria Day (April 25)
