II.
Old
Business:
a. Regional Convention—We have been
asked to be ready to start registration at 3 pm, therefore, we should arrive in
Jefferson City around 1:30 pm to have time for set up. Traci Grannemann has arranged for Brad ??? to
design and make shirts for us to match the shirts being worn by the Chi Delta
chapter. We have been told they will cost us around $11 to $14 per shirt. Traci
will also take care of picking up the shirt and bringing them along to the
convention. Amy Pope motioned that we cover the costs of purchasing the name
badges as a way to help Chi Delta and the region. Traci seconded the motion.
Delta will cover the cost of purchasing the badges. Amy has designed them and
will take care of printing all 150 badges.
b. CHIPS program—Chi Delta is
participating in this event. It will be held at Sullivan on March 24th.
Rose will send an email asking as many of our members as possible to work this
event. Training will be from 9 to 10 am,
and we will be needed to work from 10 am to 3 pm.
c. International Convention—April
12-14, 207 in Nashville, TN. Traci, Amy, Jodi, and Rose will be attending on

III.
New
Business:
a. PTK Night—Friday, April 20,
2007. Scholarship Fair—Invitation
letters will be mailed to all colleges, Shirley Scarbourgh will be asked to
represent MAA. It was suggested that we email all chapter advisors in the MO
region to invite all regional members to PTK Night. Dance—Amy will check to see if Spinnin’ Image
has a small system available. If so, she and Matt will operate the system so
that we can continue to offer a dance to Chi Delta’s members. Follow-up
mailings—We discussed if we should do follow-up mailings again this year. Our
mailings increased Chi Delta’s membership in the past. We decided to find out
what the cost would be and then decide by email whether we should do this or
not. Matt suggested that we should have business cards with our email
addresses, major and transfer school, and phone number on them for PTK Night.
That way new members could have the information handy if needing to contact one
of us regarding our mentoring program. Giving a stipend at PTK Night has been
tabled till next year.
b. Chi Delta update—Traci
Grannemann reported on Chi Delta’s upcoming events. March 30-31, 2007 they will
be helping with the Area High School Music Festival. May 19,2007 they will be
hosting a Girl Scout Badge Workshop. Chi Delta could use Delta members help
with both of these events.
c. Traci Grannemann also mentioned
that Franklin County is getting ready to change its form of government. Chi
Delta may be hosting the first and last town meetings being held to make
members of the community aware of the changes and the reason for those changes.
d. We also discussed the idea of
sponsoring a team for Relay for Life to encourage Chi Delta to participate in
this type of event. The dates should be June 8-9, 2007. It was suggested that
we bring the idea up to Chi Delta and see if they would provide the chair
people for a team. We will help them fill a team or be included as a second
team if necessary.
e. Fundraisers—Allen Becker brought
up that it was time to start thinking about our summer fundraisers. Rose will
call Union WalMart to see if any Saturdays are available in June, July, or
August. Allen and Matt prefer to hold a BBQ on a Saturday this year. Traci mentioned another possible fundraiser
for Delta. ECC is looking for groups to cover the concession stand at various
games. If the college cannot find enough student organizations to fill all the
slots, Delta might be able to work some of those nights.
f. Delta/Chi Delta
Campout—Hopefully we can hold this sometime in June. We will need to talk to
Kevin and Chi Delta members to see what interest there is in holding a joint
Campout/ Picnic.
g. Officer retreat—Need to wait to
see who next year’s Chi Delta officers will be and whether or not they would be
interested in attending.
h. Motion was made by Rose Schulte
to adjourn the meeting so that we could get started on preparing the regional
convention registration packets. Amy Schulte seconded the motion. Jodi Schulte
adjourned the meeting at 2:15 pm.
