We decided to forgo the entertainment for this week and will begin new entertainment at the next meeting. We have much to discuss and accomplish for the upcoming Stress Relief Day and Anthropology Symposium. I will address each event separately and what we need for each to make them successful. I also would like to add that the more successful events the Anthropology Club is involved in on campus this semester, the more financing for the club and opportunities we can potentially have in coming years; so your involvement is appreciated and needed for the future success of this club! We received notice that our budget for the next school year has been slashed by special meeting, but if we can make our next two events successful we may be able to retain our original and proposed budget.
First to be addressed is Stress Relief Day that we will be co-hosting with the VSA and other groups. The event will be held April 18th with set up beginning at 8am. We will need people to help with set up and to run our tables and games. We will be constructing a new game, involving mega fauna and atlatls and will need help for that as well. Please let us know if you can help and review your schedule, we will create a sign-up and request help at the next meeting.
Secondly to be addressed is our Anthropology Symposium to be held on April 20th at noon. We are requesting that any interested parties inform myself or Dr. Mallery by this Friday, March 23rd, (email will suffice), or their intent to present, make a poster, etc. Deadlines for titles or topics, (which means Dr. Mallery, myself or a club officer will need an official title of what your presentation/poster/etc. will be called and the correct spelling of your name), will be Friday March 30 so that we can begin constructing a program and agenda for the symposium at the following Monday club meeting. As in the case of Stress Relief Day, we will need volunteers for the event and at the next meeting a volunteer sign-up sheet will be sent around.
For general club business we have voted to remove the student holding office as the Graphic Designer, we are in current and desperate need of someone to fill this role. Duties will include finalizing our logo and preparing it for t-shirts and promotional materials, creating posters and material for our future events as well as other duties to be determined. I would love nothing more than to proudly wear a North Hennepin Anthropology Club t-shirt at field school this summer, which brings me to another point. We have been forwarded applications and information regarding a field school opportunity from Dr. Fleming, whom we met at the Science Museum during our field trip there. If anyone is interested I can forward them the information, you should act quickly however, the decisions for acceptance will be made on April 8th. Just a reminder about the field trip this Saturday to the Science Museum to view the Pirates exhibit, plan on meeting at the map on the floor outside the gift shop at 6pm. We will wait for a short while then proceed to the exhibit. In addition to aforementioned we also recapped our Como Zoo primate viewing field trip over spring break.

Hope to see you at the next meeting. We will be committing to involvement in both of our campus-wide events with sign-up sheets and attempting to lock down some of our desperately needed graphic design materials. We will also be starting new entertainment and recapping our SMM field trip.
Hope to see you at the next meeting, and please remember that if you wish to volunteer for any of our events and cannot be present at the meetings please know that your contributions are always welcome.
