1. Homecoming-scratch that, lets call it...KICKIN COOKOUT (thanks Meredith-awesome!)

-Changed to Thursday, the 24th of October

-Just a barbeque???

-PA will help pay for the food, but most likely not willing to pay for this one and

something large at a later date

-Going to have a real homecoming during Basketball season-most likely at a girls

game! :) This time it can include a dance of somesort maybe!

-Maybe we can pay for the whole thing or have the PA pay for 1/2 of the food

-Assuming there are going to be 80 people at the event and that the food will

cost $8.50 per person then food will cost $680!-lots of moola!!!

-Considered having something besides dindin, but decided that it was too short

notice to plan something new!

-Maybe we could have a $2 cover charge-unfortunately thats not really plausible

-Use Patti's fantasgreat idea of a cookbook as a major fundraising event for our

actual homecoming!-this could raise MAJOR money for us wonderful kids!

-VOTE TIME: Cookout:9 People   Nothing besides the game: 4 People--things are

settled then-4:30 game and a cookout afterwards!

-Ryan can get us ICE CREAM!-and all that goes with it including utensils-most

likely $860ish (he will find out specifics for us!)

-Heather, Meredith and Chole are in charge of signs around school

-We need to find a table!!

-as a side note-Ryan got the comfy, fun chair!

2. Voting on the President Issue

-If it's open to everyone then everyone can truly have a chance to have a

leadership position

-If only Juniors-Traditionally only for Juniors and thus this class and every class

would have a president

-VOTE TIME: Only Jrs.:2   Everyone: 12---SETTLED

-Next week be prepared to share what position you are running for

-October 29th we will have our elections

3. ASM-Lectures?

-Larry-Speak Out-great way to reach out esp. because of the GSA issue

we could have a Diversity Series-Racial, Religion...

-Meredith-"Talent" Show

-Chloe-People don't always LOVE lectures-we could either slow down with the

lectures or have really amazingly great lectures

-Meredith-Trivia

-Once a month we have a BU lecturer-Dr. Goldsmith-Caruso can bring a calender

to find dates that would work for our ASMs

---Outline of meeting---

**Talent Night** on May 2nd

1. The official name is 'Friday night live'

We, as student council will make skits like SNL, but everyone else in the talent show will just do whatever talent stuff they want to do.

We are the Mc's and our skits will go inbetween the other skits to move everything along

Alana,Matt, and Chris do not want to be in the skits, but no one was opposed to helping organize and write them!

2. Things that we need to do for the SNL type skits (just ideas)

-A monologue in the begging -A musical guest -Host(s)--- presumably student council -and a few skits and quick things to leave a smoot transition between acts

3. Specific ideas relating to the format:

-dressing up as celebrities? -judges that critique but not actually vote (like american idol) -have the audience vote on their favorite acts on a ballot and then anounce the winners in the next ASM-- anounce them like award shows+ and pull name from envelope.. E.G. -- 'and the winner is.... drum role....

4. also we will need to refine the process of getting acts: Dr G-C and ms. solomon agreed to judge them to make sure they will be allowed, but we will need to decide upon how to market the idea and some dates when tryouts will be held. --- 2 things to note:

**There is a bake sale on Valentines day (this friday for you love sick souls that don't know when it is) --Matt,Heather,Kat,Alana, and Chris all agreed to bring in Valentines day treats.

Larry,Matt,Meredith, and Heather all agreed to be at the table during lunch on friday-- keep in mind the prefect meeting are going on though.

2nd thing to note--

Everyone should bring 2 or 3 ideas for our skits. Either your favorite SNL skits that we could adapt to BUA, or paradoies we could do on people, or topics within BUA that would be *Appropriate*

Note: Toby here refers to Larry Tobin. 4/15/03 Agenda: 1. Solomon's Salutation 2. Toby's Proposal (Fundraising) 3. DC Standards
