Hello, Sigmas! Just a few friendly notes:
The vote for �Movie Day� is to attend a Saturday evening feature at Mayfaire. I vote to see �21�; please check Mayfaire�s webpage for choices and times. Since we are going on Saturday, I don�t know whether �Fox and Hounds� will supply free appetizers; I�ll ask them anyway.
We have received the �go-ahead� for T-shirts from the Sigma Main Office. Please feel free to submit ideas/designs to [email protected]. The head office of Sigma asks that no �STD� jokes be used. The Campus and Activities Office here at UNCW must also approve of our T-shirt design. I must take it over to their office for their approval. Once again, I would imagine that certain types of shirt designs might not be approved. Please let me know whether you are interested in buying a shirt in the future; today�s members recommended an online vendor. Such a vendor would want to know about the size of our order.
Sigma member Wendy Chilcote has some charity proposals for us with regard to the �Pampered Chef� company. If we can get approval from Sigma�s Main Office, we may wish to try this idea. She also suggested that �Fairy Circle� does charity work with regard to clothing donations. Once again, approval from the Main Office would be needed.
Please consider this e-mail your minutes from today�s meeting. Thank you!
Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Stephanie A. Richardson
Faculty Mentor for Sigma Tau Delta
Hello, Sigmas! I write the minutes today, as our Secretary could not attend. The meeting began at 3:30 PM. Members present were Dr. Stef, President Shawna Blas, member Danielle Woods, and new member Laura Fussell. We discussed next Wednesday�s Valentine Party (3:30-4:30 PM, Faculty Common) and decided that we will get goodies from Apple Annie�s so that no one has to bring anything. The Induction Ceremony/Picnic will be held on 29 April, at Halyburton Park, from 2-4 PM.
The meeting adjourned at 4:00 PM.
These minutes are respectfully submitted.
