Howell House Minutes, 9/2/01

Hi everybody (hi, Dr. Nick!), and thanks to everyone who came to the meeting last night or sent reps, especially Hyde and the upperclassmen. We covered a whole lot of ground, and as much of it is still up in the air, today's notes are focused on the stuff that's in the works.

Recap: Last Saturday was great; the beach was cold but this is Maine, after all; the BBQ was cold too but the food and kickball warmed it up. Thanks to everyone who put these together, especially Reid and Colin.

Upcoming events:

• This Midweek- Milkshake Madness, hosted by Emily and Josh. 9:00 at Howell Wednesday night.
• First-year scavenger hunt this Saturday at 7:00 (meet at Howell).
• Trip to the Common Ground country fair on Friday the 21st- leave Howell around 1:30 and get back that night. Tickets will be $8/person.
• Common Good Day is Saturday the 22nd- I think everyone got sign-up sheets in the mails today. A plethora of conveniently packaged volunteer activities.
• The day after that (the 23rd)- the Blue Angels, stunt pilots extraordinaires, are coming to the Naval Air Station. More on that soon.
• Saturday the 29th- Apple-picking up the road, and apple-y dessert-making to follow.

• Cosponsorship of a dance party with the Afro-Am. Probably late October, early November.
• Possibly related- a glowstick/chem-free rave party. October?
• Sunset or lobster cruise out of Portland.
• Trip to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and/or the Counting Crows concert at Bates.
