Summary
Well, it seems that not a whole lot of people were able to make it, but special thanks to Chris who came even though he was dead tired from working and ready to call it a night until I called him on the phone. We watched Contact first and man, that movie is great. We talked about faith and God and all that, as I'm sure most do after watching such a thought provoking show. Then we watched Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, another great and thought-provoking show. One that I'm sure will creep it's way into another movie night.
I also talked to Dan Lasher about the check from the Lloyd Noble clean-up. We'll pick it up on Monday (hopefully) and let you all know how much we got. Hopefully, we'll be able to get to business then.

If you have more questions, give us an email

3. Summary
   1. We're going to try to have meetings every other Thursday (starting 1/22) at 6:00pm so that way it's easier for everyone to remember and prepare. We'll see how it goes for while and change it if neccessary. Every meeting (hopefully) will have a discussion period for ideas and stuff, however, if you want a guranteed spot, you can email Marcos, the secretary and he'll fit you into the agenda (should be submitted at least two days before the meeting).

      We've also set Monday nights at 5:00pm being for officer meetings. We'll be having a standard form sign-in sheets for all the meetings and events from now on. Also, there will be a spot on the sign in sheet to check if you want to be put on the listserv, just give us your e-mail and we'll subscribe you.

   2. Some things on the current agenda:

      SEDS group photo
