9/1/08 Minutes!

Whatsup everyone. This post is just announcing the minutes and informing those who weren't there with us about what happened and what we talked about. Here it goes.

Welcome to the First ASC Meeting of the Year 2008-2009!
Fellow ASC heads and organization leaders introduced themselves, as well as the new faces such as the freshmen and transfers. I believe it could have been a record turnout for ASC.

We then presented the ASC mission statement, which can also be found in the ASC website - http://web.wm.edu/so/asianstudentcouncil/about/index.html -

First topic: ASC BBQ + Field Day
Date:Saturday, September 6, 2008
Time:1:00pm - 5:00pm
Location:Yates Field

We asked all of the organizations within ASC to donate $20 for the event. Previously, the organizations helped us out by bringing dishes, but we believed that a simple donation would be ultimately cheaper and more efficient.

Grilling time starts at 12 and lasts until 2:30. there were 10 spots for 5 shifts at the grill, and were all filled up within about 7 minutes! talk about dedication.
here are the shifts:

12:00 - 12:45 Juae, Thuy, Mike
12:30 - 1:15 Ray, Preston
1:00 - 1:45 Sam Davis, Mike
1:30 - 2:15 Steven, Amanda
2:00 - 2:45 Uriah, Soojin

*Also, people are always welcome to help out either for setup or cleanup. Besides, what can be more fun?

There will be an activities meeting for several people to manage the activities and decide what is best for everybody and what will provide the most fun. If anyone is interested, please email bjyoo@wm.edu (Ben Yoo) and he will definitely get everyone together for brainstorming and also putting things down on paper.
