September 25, 2007: Regular Meeting
The meeting was called to order at 7:10PM on 9/25/07.
Genevieve initiated an "icebreaker" to get the group re-acquainted.
The Vice President from the SEU Republicans attended the first portion of the meeting with interests in working on our voter registration drive to be held on October 4th and 5th.
Genevieve got us up-to-date with the drive. The location of the drive is still pending for the 4th (but will either be in Rags or Moody between 11AM and 3PM). The drive will be located in Rags for the same time frame on the 5th. The drive is meant to be bi-partisan, and we hope the College Republicans will work with us in distributing materials encouraging students to vote. Within the committee, there is also talk of creating a mock-election to generate interest in the primary and spring voter registration drive. Please contact Genevieve if you would like to help out now or in the future.
Joey proposed that there be a vote on when elections for officers will be held. However, the proposition was tabled until next meeting to promote fairness and a larger group of voting members. In order to vote you must pay your dues by the next meeting.
Joey also spoke about Oxfam SEU, another organization for which he is president. Oxfam SEU works with Oxfam America to promote Fair Trade and find long-lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice. Please visit Oxfam America for more information on the organization. Joey expressed interest in members of the SEU Dems joining Oxfam (no dues, no fees) and the two organizations collaborating on aligning issues. Meetings are held on Mondays at 7PM. Please contact Joey if you want more information or would like to join.
The meeting split into committees concerning public relations, the voter registration drive, and voter education. Due to time limitations, committee reports will be e-mailed or shared at the next meeting.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:10PM.
