Hello everyone,

Here's what happened at the meeting, in case you missed it.

Fundraiser - We raised $27 from the pop can collection.  We will continue
to collect cans, so remember to dispose of your empty pop cans in our
collection garbage cans located throughout the Chem Sci.

Dinner with Curt Tompkins - This dinner is on April 6, which coincides
with the Kinetics exam.  Christine is going to talk with Dr. Mullins to
see if other arrangements can be made to take the test early.  We are also
tentatively planning on having a group photo taken the night of the
dinner.

New Member Initiation - Letters to prospective members will be sent out
next week.  We are planning on having them at our 3rd week meeting. The
initiation banquet will be Tuesday, April 25.  The new members will be
formally initiated in accordance with the National requirements.  

Dues - When we become a national organization, the dues are $15.  It was
decided that every spring these dues will be paid.  All current members
will have to pay these dues, even though some of us are graduating.  But
remember, we haven't paid any dues yet since we've been in the
organization.  

Faculty Awards - A tentative schedule for organizing the awards was
decided on.  It is as follows:
        5th week        Advertising
        5th - 7th       Nominations
        7th - 9th       Voting
        9thTotal the votes

The awards will be given at the convocation on May 11.  Only Juniors and
Seniors will be voting on these awards for the student vote because they
know more of the professors and are probably more qualified to vote.

Science Fair
We still need more judges.  If you know of ANYONE, either in the faculty
or the community, who would be interested, please let Brian Zielke
know.  You can e-mail him at bjzielke@mtu.edu.  Let them know that they
need to be at the science fair from 9 to 3 on March 18. 

For family Activities, we are thinking of having 4 main experiments and
also videos and coloring.  During the science fair, most of us will be
helping in the family activities area.  The assignments for what people
will be doing during the science fair will be decided at the next meeting,
which is next week.

We are also planning on having overall school awards for each grade, which
will be decided by average points.

Well, that is about it for this meeting. Please show up to the science
fair at 8AM. Remember it is next Saturday, March 18.  And we also have a
meeting next Thursday at 6:00.  By the way, check out our website at
