Metting 8-21-08

Hello all! This is an update on this week's past meeting and some events that happened over the weekend.

The club held a yard sale Saturday at Mary's house. The yard sale went great. We made over $150.

This past Friday Veronica, Ben and Jessie all headed down to the plaza to promote the club at the fall kick off bash held by the city of Las Vegas.

Friday morning club members also started to hang the metal poster boards in the lobby.

At the meeting we decided that the best time to meet for club meetings for the rest of the semester would be Friday at 1 PM.

The club will also be posting updates on the Media Arts facebook page.

Donna has offered the use of Ilfield Auditorium for events for the club.

The club would like to do some small events this semester including things like bowling or rock climbing.

The club discussed some new rules for the election of officers.
New rules for being an officer include:

*officers must be in good standing
*declared major or minor in media arts
*interested persons should write a letter of interest and present it to the club
*one cannot be re-elected twice to the same position
*a 51% majority vote of all club members to elect a person into position.
*if one officer must step down from their position, the next in line will take over
*elections will be held in the 2nd week of the fall semester and the positions will run through the summer


We are also considering adding the position of historian. This person would be responsible for taking photos and video of events and putting together a scrapbook.

We are considering of re-writing the position of treasure to include the responsibilities of fundraising management and getting change (money) for events.

Film Project 1

FILM PROJECT

We were asked to film a production put on by the theatrical arts department to be held in the Sala De Madrid building. Jessie and I (Virginia) volunteered and it was a good show. We will be editing the footage to present a DVD to them. Anyone interested in helping with the editing please let me know.

The more projects we complete successfully the more exposure we attract for the department. Remember its not only the money but the experience!
