VII. New Business,
i. Scotsman Budget
Budget based on stationary--members need music, binders. Other cost include
publicity and transportation. Budget basically replicates in the Springs semester.
$324 for Fall, $240 in the Spring, $564 total. Club contingency fund has $15,552.
This is a budget not an extension. Although there is only half of the Fall semester
left, we wanted to leave room for outings that are not yet in the schedule. They
may go into Boston this semester as a supplement for a concert. It is hard to be
specific about events that are not planned yet. Were giving them a little leeway
because they used their budget well this semester. There are 11 members, not
12 as the original budget prepared for. All of their music is self arrange, so they
do not have to pay for arrangement--they do not charge for their events so they
can avoid fair use problems.
Abel, Move to approve, nathaniel Seconded, unanimously approved
ii.Office Design Presentation
Chelsea presented on the new office plans from the interior designer. Skeptical
about the placement of the working desk facing the wall. This will happen in one
to two months. There will be a storefront in the CEC closet at the bottom on the
stairs on the left side of Gillies. We may also be adding an awning to the back
door to make the entrance more attractive.
iii. CEC Report
Oktoberfest, 2 Coffeehouses, bringing in 3 bands. Lots planned for this semester
and the next. Theyve been doing an awesome job.
