Minutes: 3/8/09

PRESIDENT

Those who have an official position or title, or are the chairs of an
event/project are asked to step up in the final half of the semester. Time
wise, we are halfway done with the semester, but still have many, many things
left to do.

The Bylaws committee should now be underway and meeting regularly. We ask that
the committee meet a minimum of four (4) times before all finalized revisions
are due on April 18th.

All chairs and committees are asked to update Tricia on a regular basis on their
progress with their respective events/projects.

SVP

A big thank you from Tricia to all those who helped make MBU yesterday a
success!

Loaves for love is this Thursday, March 12th at the Chabad house in Southwest
(by the red hut bus stop) at 8:00 p.m. Girls are asked to tie back their hair
and leave jewelry at home. Any questions may be directed to Jacob.

We are looking into volunteering at the Soldier’s home or a nursing home on
April 4th as potential service projects.

Ronald McDonald House charities is a prospective project for April 11th.

Boston Marathon is April 20th

Relay for life is April 24th/25th. We’re doing really well raising money! Keep
it up!

Beautiful links May 4th-May 8th. Questions: Jess or Kelsey

Sara’s basketball tournament in Boston on Saturday went well

We are looking into a “fill-a-bus” project around finals week. Canned goods,
toys, etc. are all wanted items for donation. In all likelihood, we will be
doing “fill-a-car”. We need a chair for this event, talk to Tricia if you’re
interested or have questions.

Potential future project idea from Sara:
Sunday, October 4th Doug Flutie road race—just keep it in mind

Jacob is in progress with planning shopping at Stop & Shop for Passover. We
will be helping individuals shop for Passover items at both Northampton and
Amherst locations. This is being scheduled for after our return from Spring
Break. Contact Jacob with any questions.
