Meeting 02/11/2010

• We will be buying the paint for the PC lab. We will also need volunteers to help paint the lab which will probably be a one day project during the weekend.
• Kerry will be installing the new surround sound system in room 100! He will need help with the installation if you are interested please speak to Kerry.
• Mary came in to talk to the club about participating in New Mexico Association of Museums Annual Conference.

The conference has been held in many areas such as Ruidoso, Santa Fe, Silver City, Los
Alamos, Roswell, Farmington, Taos and Albuquerque. This year it will be held in here in Las
Vegas, NM. This is a great opportunity for everyone to network.
NMHU Media Arts Faculty, Staff and students have participated in the past by traveling to
the conference and presenting student work. The dates will be November 3-7, 2010 which
means this will next semester but I have a feeling if you are very interested there will be
much to do before then.
The Planning committee is looking for volunteers to help with setting up, the planning and
much more. Also it is possible we will be receiving a free pass to the conference. I would highly
suggest everyone attend this conference. Please let Kerry, Veronica, Mary or I know if you
are interested as soon as possible. Remember this is a big event so if you are interested you
must be dedicated to participation.

• We will start selling candy and snacks out of the equipment check-out window. Everyone start thinking of snacks you feel would sell the most.
• Raffles are extended to April 1, 2010. We still have some available.
  
• I will be speaking to Donna Martinez about teaming up with Ilfield movie night to play student films before the movie begins. If this moves forward the club would be responsible with meeting with Donna to screen the films entered to make sure they meet the standards of the Auditorium.
  

• Party time! We will hold a club pizza party on February 25, 2010 at 8pm in MAW. We talked about hooking the nintendo wii up to the big screen in Room 100. Also having the playstation in the fireplace area. Anyone who has a game they would like to play feel free to bring to the party. The club will provide the pizza and cokes but everyone is welcome to bring candy, desserts or any type of snack.
  
• The next meeting will be held February 25, 2010 in the fireplace area. Those who are unable to make these meetings please email Veronica or I times that are best for you. We will set up a second meeting time to meet those schedules.
  
• Two officers positions are still open. Secretary and project manager. Those interested please email Veronica or I as soon as possible. We need to fill these positions by the next meeting.
• Thank you to those whom helped with the Blue Oyster cult! Good Job!

Hope you had a good day!
See you at the next meeting!

Meeting updates!

Hello everyone,

We had a meeting last week and will not have a meeting this week. Here are some things we covered during the meeting.We changed the meeting times to Tuesdays at 4:15pm and they seem to be working very well.

1. There will be no meeting this week.
   
2. The float seemed to begin to get in the way of the show installation and finals so we decided not to do the float. However we still will be participating in the parade. The new idea is to take the decorations we have and create a x-mas scene outside the media arts building.
   The club will be serving hot chocolate. We will need everyone to help make and serve the hot chocolate. The scene we create will not be lit till the night of the parade.
3. We will meet on Tuesday December 1, 2009 to begin decorating the tree and outside. We will finish the decorating throughout the week as we have free time. December 5, 2009 we will finish decorating and help with the show installation. That night we will prepare for the parade.
   
4. The show installation will be December 5, 2009 and the Media Arts Biannual show will be December 7, 2009. We will be helping with the installation that day! Also we will need everyone to sign up for food prep, set up, show assistance during the show and clean up. Remember the show gets bigger each time. We want to make it as nice as possible.
5. Our schedules will change so we will need a new meeting time for next semester. Everyone please email me the best time for you to meet.
   
6. All Juniors and Seniors asking about the Dale Basler Scholarship please see Mary for all the details.
7. Congrats to all media arts students recognized in on the NMHU website! Good Job everyone!
   

Thank you everyone for all your hard work.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Next Club meeting 11-10-09

Hi everyone,

I have some new updates for everyone!

1. We have students that would like to be a part of the club but can not make the meetings on Friday. So, we are trying something new this week. The meeting will be held twice this week to allow new members to attend and be able to create a schedule that will work for everyone the rest of the school year. Date will be Tuesday November 10, 2009 and the Time will be 12:15pm till 12:50pm and 4:15pm till 4:50pm. Please try to make one of these times.
2. The raffles are ready and I will hand them out at the meeting this week. We have three prizes and are selling the tickets for $1.00 each. The drawing will be held the day of the Media Arts show.
3. The final club/organization meeting for this semester will be held December 4, 2009 at noon. I want all the officers to attend this meeting. This is very important! If you can not make this meeting please let me know. Also any members interested in representing the club may attend.
4. We have enough volunteers to move forward with the float but we need ideas. I emailed everyone a list of decorations and some float ideas. Please take a look at these and email me your ideas and information if you know other places for decorations.
5. Preview of what we have done this semester: Homecoming float, Halloween party, Halloween decorations for Media Arts Dept., donated $50 to recycling program, donated $50 to Out of the Ashes, offered video & photography services to Out of the Ashes, Participated in Out of the Ashes, attended Art:21, attended Site Santa Fe opening of "Talking pictures" and began the raffle.
6. Preview of upcoming events: Decorate the Christmas Light Parade float and the Media Arts Show.
7. We will be having a Christmas party at Mary's and will be having another one this year. I will give everyone the details at the next meeting.


I am thankful for everyone's hard work and dedication. To thank everyone I thought we could have a night of Pizza, games and movies! What we have done in the past is bring in our game consoles and set them up in the fireplace. Also we have set up the playstation in room 100 and played on the big screen. It was lots of fun! If you are interested please email me a day and time you think would be best or let me know at the next meeting. Also if we can not have the game night this semester cause it is so close to finals we can also have it as a welcome back next semester.

I am attaching a few pictures to look back on the new semester.
See you at the next meeting!
