Howell House Minutes,
Sunday 10/22/00

WarmUp
A. President's Welcome
B. Midweek Recap: Owen and Keegan did their ice cream duo and there was pumpkin judging too
C. Animal Shelter, Stacey: No one went on Friday or Saturday, and Stacey went alone on Sunday. They'll be going again in 2 weeks so try and tag along sometime
D. IM Soccer Playoffs: Howell Hammerheads looked like they were down 3 to 1 for a while, then scored, then, as Owen nicely put it, "proceeded to loose." But good job to everyone who participated, and to the Hydians too :)
E. House Dedication: went great, with great speeches by everyone who gave great speeches...--> The possibility of a scrapbook dedicated to Roger Howell? Brian will be in charge of this.
F. Initiation: fun, fun! Many people signed, but there were still many who didn't. If you live in Hyde pls come and sign it...Brian has it

The Nitty Gritty
A. Treasurer's Report, Liz: We are now at $5,867.04, minus the expenses that went toward initiation and past midweeks.
B. Programming, Stacey: It will cost about $800 to get Michael Kelsey to perform in the spring. We voted on whether to bring him here, and it passed with a whopping 33 votes and 3 abstentions.
    a. Brian proposed that we plan for another "Who Wants to be a Thousandaire?" event. Last year's Thousandaire cost us about $750 total.
    b. "Singled Out" event: was a problem last year and we wound up not doing it, but we might give it another try this year and this time ask the other houses for support in planning the event.
    c. Thinking of new ideas for more events??? Either come to the meetings and share or pass it on to Quinn, Katie, or Stacey.
    d. Brendan mentioned the poss. of forming planning committees for events.
C. Mellon Grant: Possible speakers to invite included Rob Kean and Kenneth Starr. Interest vote in who would be interested in putting together the house library.
D. Howell T-Shirts: Liz brought it up to ResLife, and hasn't heard back yet.
E. Ping-Pong table, Lauren: The one we are currently looking at is $200. Still doing research...
F. Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Justin: Hawthorne School is currently in the process of forming a new program, much like Bears and Cubs in which students are coupled with kids for after-school or lunchtime periods. It may be another 2-3 weeks, and there is more info to come.
G. The Composite, Phil: Will be looking into how we can get it done by copy!
H. Rule Chart for House Meeting Procedures: Formal or Informal? Brian's working on a structured procedure for voting and motions.
I. Michael Kelsey: see above
