Howell House Minutes, 1/27/02

Treasurer's report:

• This was the most interesting part of the meeting, I think: we have two possible budget totals. If the Mellon Grant pays for our holiday dinner (as it ought), and Res Life foots the bill for a charge from last year's scavenger hunt prize, we should have $3513.82 for the rest of the year.. Otherwise, it's $2787.42. Fingers crossed.

• This Sunday, our meeting will probably be before dinner, but in any case before the ruckus begins; watch out for that and the Superbowl party, featuring- you guessed it- haystacks!
• The House Info Week is upon us, from the 4th through the 9th of February. Events include: an info session at Hyde, a possible snowtubing trip, a professor dinner at the House on the 6th, the customary midweek, and more to be announced following their invention.
• The Inter-House Olympics are Saturday the 9th as well, featuring ice skating on the quad, and scads of other winter delights- look for more details on entering as that approaches.
• We're hosting a campus-wide kareoke night here on the 15th.
• On the 16th- which is Bowdoin Ski Day- Howell's taking a group of affiliates skiing- we need at least 20 people with us, so email Todd if you're interested (tjohnsto).
• February 26th is Howell's night at "Your Restaurant"- Ladd invites other Houses over and cooks dinner for them- just like a restaurant, see?
• Plans are in the works for a trip down to a Blue Man Group performance after winter sports have ended
• THE SCAVENGER HUNT is on for the weekend of April 12-13; more details as that draws near, but it's a 36-hour campus-wide event open to teams of four; the possible prize this year is a trip to Miami.
• THE GAME SHOW is also on; it sounds like a remake of "The Weakest Link" is a possibility.
