Hey guys, lots of stuff talked about this week, sorry if you werent able to make the earlier time.

~ We WILL be having a meeting next week. Its going to be a small, lets just relax before finals starts kinda thing.
~We also started talking about next semester. Just a few things to think about
- Maine Fishermans Forum- I've been telling you about this for awhile. We're almost deffinately planning on getting the 3 rooms, and staying thursday night though sunday.
- Boston Sea Food Festival- the weekend of march 14th. If you want to go, you need to register before february, and it will cost about $5.
- Speakers: Dave Beutel about weird fish of RI, Conrad about anything or nothing, Dr Raleigh (sp?) about pharmaceuticals from the sea, Dr Wilga about sharks and dispelling the myths associated with them, some grad students on how to prepare for grad school, Possibly Dr. Kenny about right whales, possibly a big name from outside of campus.
- Start thinking about freshman recruitment- organizational fair on Jan 26 from 10-4- we need people to work it and ideas for it, and of course, the block party- one idea we had was a dunk tank if we can get it for a reasonable price, need to find an organization to donate $$ to

~ The fishtank is apparently staying! We need to come up with a maintenence schedule and log of some sort, and find out who at this point does what as far as taking care of the fish. Once this is established, we will probably need volunteers to help take care of them a few times a week. More on this later.
~T-Shirts- we want to get some new t-shirts. We need to come up with a logo for the front, and an image for the back. Anyone with any ideas, let us know.

~Monday Dec 8: Party at kevin and amber's house! 8:30ish (pm). They'll have some food and drinks, but if you can bring your own as well, that would be awesome, so they dont get stuck buying for everyone.
How to get there:
From campus, take Rt 110 (across from the bottom of plains road). Keep going straight until it dumps you out on rt 1 south. Follow this to the green hill beach exit (you'll see signs telling you where to go, you're going to have to turn around, and then the exit will be on the right- just follow the signs). Go 0.6 miles to Holly road on left, the turn is kinda during a curve in the road. Follow Holly Rd. to the end, you will go straight through two stop signs. At the end of Holly there is a third stop sign, take a right followed by an immediate left onto Aspen Road. 4th or 5th house on right, its 41 Aspen Rd. Its in south kingston, if you want to look it up on a map or something. If you get lost, you can call the house at 789-3325, or Kevin's cell is 206-9811. If you plan on crashing there for the night, thats fine, just bring a pillow and a blanket or something, if not, plan ahead to have a DD all set, we want everyone to be safe.
Hope to see you guys there.

If we dont see you, Good Luck to everyone on your finals, and we'll see you next semester!
~Shannon
