15 tickets sold for e-zone event thus far, targeting 30 students
What is the process of returning ticket? Laura will need to be contacted and
she will have to handle that refund

b) Early Childhood
Could GHSA members help with the event by sitting outside the GHSA office
and collect batteries?
Email will be sent out to see who can volunteer their time to help with the
event
Email will be sent out to all ECE students to let them know about the event
Students are able to donate used batteries as well
Tanvi suggestion: put a note in the sign-in binder so we can keep track of
students who donated and how much
We are not sending the batteries to India, rather we will be sending the
batteries to a middle man who will be able to convert the batteries to money
which will be converted to food for children in India

Event Planning

Jesse recommends collecting some sort of fee to get commitment from

students when it comes to event registration

Transition

Students have some concerns with the voting procedure, would have wanted
it in person
Liana: the way the constitution works is for students to be present for voting
It passed, nobody opposed
Liana: GHSA will no longer exist after end of terms, when general elections
come up the new VP position will be appointed by vote
