Talent Show Game Plan...

In brief, here is the schedule for the talent show to supplement the email sent.

Today (November 3, 2011):  Meet in the campus center at 6pm to decorate.  We will decorate until we are done or until the Campus Center closes at 10pm.  There are other tasks to complete so lend a hand where you can and when you can!

Tomorrow (November 4, 2011): We will rendezvous at 9:30am in the Campus Center to complete the set-up and finish what tasks remain.  Dress rehearsal at 2:30 and the show begins at 4pm.  Reception to follow at 6pm.  The reception is expected to last an hour or so.  Please plan accordingly so you can fulfill the duties you signed up for.

Anthropology Club Budget

The Anthropology Club has finally been granted a budget from the Student Life Committee and the Student Senate.  As of this afternoon, we will be able to contribute from our own funds money to the Talent Show and start planning an anthropology conference for the spring!  Hooray, hard work does pay off!

October 25 Meeting Minutes

Our meeting today was brief, but I have some critical issues to bring to your attention, namely addressing the impending talent show and the upcoming Student Senate meeting.  

Headway has been made on the Anthropology Club's responsibilities for the talent show, the food has been decided and ordered.  Taher couldn't match the prices so we will be serving food from Big Marina and Godfather's Pizza.  Crystal, Stephanie and I visited Litin Paper this afternoon to wrangle some decorations for the event.  Those of you who signed up to hep with set-up, it looks like we may be setting up well before the event, (hopefully the evening of Tuesday November 1), given the quantity of decorations purchased I will certainly need all of your help and whatever can be accomplished prior to the day of the Talent Show would be excellent, since that day will present it's own tasks to be completed by the Anthropology Club.  Dr. Mallery has agreed to be a judge for the event as well.  Until the Talent Show is complete, this will remain the main focus of the club.

Additionally, your support is requested at this week's Student Senate meeting.  Two motions have been put forth by the Anthropology Club as well as our budget request.  At the advisement of other clubs who have successfully petitioned the Student Senate, they recommended a strong club presence in the meeting to bolster the requests arguments should it be necessary.  Therefore, I am requesting that any available students join us at this weeks meeting.  If we do not gain a position on this week's agenda, the next meeting will be November 10th.

I will keep you all informed as to the days that your assistance is needed for both the Student Senate and the Talent Show.  Some events we are considering for after the talent show are a cookbook fundraiser, an anthropology conference in the spring and gathering corporate sponsorship for participation in the National Geographic mtDNA project.

Until next time, thanks to everyone who has volunteered and contributed to the club so far this year, I really appreciate all the involvement.  Let's make Anthropology Club the most successful club on campus!

Meeting Minutes October 18

Today, October 18, 2011, in Anthropology Club we talked about some things that concerned the club.  Most of these were reminders and asking for suggestions, so not a lot of new material before MEA break.

We talked once again about getting T-shirts/posters/business cards done in the very near future to help boost club awareness on campus.  We're still looking for volunteers if we can find them, suggestions welcome too.  If we can't find anything of overt interest we'll just use a simple design.

As a club we are starting to think more seriously about our fund raising and 2012 event.  As of right now we're open to ideas.  We may be doing a cookbook with recipes from around the world for the fundraiser, and there have been talks of a guest speaker or a conference for the event.  But that doesn't mean we can't keep brainstorming!

We are still waiting on the budget to actually move forward on the talent show, but everything else is looking to be going well!  Any volunteers still very welcome and needed.

No Student Senate meeting this week, so are we are going next week.  As we are still requesting a budget all and any members are encouraged to come to show club support.  This will give us a better chance at getting a budget request approved.  Thursday October 25 from 3:00-5:00 pm.

Meeting Minutes from Oct. 11

Anthropology Club meeting for October 11, 2011

Our club treasurer has chosen to step down.  We are taking a vote of any volunteers next club.  The main duties held by the treasurer are budget requests and fund raising, Please feel free to volunteer if you can.

One idea that has been discussed for a fund raiser is a cookbook with recipes from the world over.  There was also talk of our 2012 event being an Anthropology Club Conference possibly.  Any other ideas are welcome. 

The talent show joint event with the multicultural club is beginning to take off.  We are currently looking for volunteers for any of the various roles, tabling, reception, set up, tear down, etc.  We are still looking for more international candy ideas.  A possible theme suggested for the reception was masquerade. 

If you can help at the talent show let someone know.  Remember the talent show is November 4^th at 4 pm.  Dress rehearsal at 2 pm, set up at 9 am.

There was talk about attending a farmhouse archeological dig in Otsego this weekend.

Reminder

Just a reminder the next anthropology club meeting will take place during the tryouts for the talent show, (the joint campus-wide event held by the Anthropology Club and the Multicultural Club), in CC231 at 2pm.   If you care to join us you can participate in the tryout judging, otherwise join us at the following meeting.  Officers meeting will take place as scheduled on Thursday at 12:30 in the Anthropology Club office.

September 27 Meeting Minutes

Anthropology Club Meeting September 27, 2011

            For our meeting today we met with the Multicultural Club in CC 231.  We addressed a few of the items to be accomplished for the joint talent show we are all helping with.  The show itself will be held on November 4^th at 3 pm, with a dress rehearsal at about 1 pm for a run through.  Auditions will be held from 2-4 pm on Tuesday October 4^th in room CC231.  We are looking for judges for the Auditions to be representative of both clubs, let an officer know if you’d like to attend.

If possible we want members to begin thinking of if they would like to help with the staffing for the event, such as stage manager, reception manager, etc.  No positions will be determined until we are closer to the Talent Show date.

We want to include food for the event, probably mainly pizza.  There was also talk of hummus and Chinese food.  Suggestions are still welcome as always.

Anthropology Club Officers meeting to be held on Thursday September 29^th in the Club Office room in the Campus Center.

September 27 Meeting Reminder

Just a reminder that today's Anthropology Club meeting will be held in CC231, (the upstairs of the campus center), to team up with the Multicultural Club in an effort to plan our combined campus-wide event.  The Multicultural Club is also looking for volunteers from our club to serve as judges for the talent show auditions with the second round taking place on November 4th from 2-4pm in CC231.  If you can attend, please let Kat know.

September 20, 2011 Meeting Summary

We have made some progress this week and are on our way to planning our first ever campus wide event, collaborating with the Multicultural Club.  Below you can view the transcript of what took place during today's meeting and what dates to be aware of for the future.  Immediate issues to address in brief include: 

*Next meeting will not be held in our normal meeting place of CLA 134 at 3:30.  We will instead be meeting with the Multicultural Club starting at 3:15 in CC231, (located in the upstairs of the campus center), to solidify our plans for the upcoming Talent Show.  There will certainly be opportunity for involvement with this event, please share your skills, let's make this event great!

*We are seeking club members to form a committee for posters and eventually a logo and t-shirts.  Can you lend your graphic design skills to the Anthropology Club?

*Know of an anthropology related event you think the club should attend?  Email Dr. Mallery or Kat and we just may be able to organize a club field trip.  The Student Senate has "thawed" the  student organization budget and the Anthropology Club will finally have the opportunity to spend their allotted money. Help us decide how by coming to our meetings and sharing your ideas. 

*Bring your friends and join us!  The Anthropology Club meets every Tuesday, (with the exception of the next meeting), in CLA134.  The more the merrier, after addressing club issues we like to round out the meeting by sharing anthropology related news so bring some to share.

Thanks and hope to see you at the next meeting!

Anthropology Club meeting September 20, 2011

            In our meeting of Anthropology Club today the President of the Multicultural Club visited and happily informed us they would be more than happy to let us join them for a joint campus wide event.  The event that was chosen was a talent show to be most likely held on November 4 in the auditorium, to be followed by an international food and pizza luncheon.  Final details are still being worked out, as more information solidifies we will update accordingly.

            **We are planning to meet on September 27^th with the Multicultural Club to begin working on specific details to be taken care of.  These may involve set up, tear down, stage work, auditions, etc.  More will be discussed on this day. **

Additional Audition try-outs on October 4 from 2:00-4:00 PM

(All students are welcome to audition)

            The next orders of business for Anthropology Club are club posters and club T-shirts, in order of highest priority first.  We are exploring options and talking to anyone with graphical design skill that could help.  If you could help out in any way, or know of someone who could, please contact an officer or bring it up at a meeting.  We would like to get these started as soon as possible.

            The Student Senate’s club funding is still open, so we may request a budget.  This means we can possibly take a field trip, outing, etc. of our choosing if we decide soon enough to apply for funds.  So we are just trying to decide what activity we would want to pursue as a club.  As nothing has been formally decided yet, we are just inviting all members to try and think of particular activities they would like to explore outside of school.  Ideas can be brought up at club meetings or emailed to an officer.
