Housekeeping

  • BGSA Lounge: Andrew
    • Photo contest has submissions, need more research submissions. Have lots of coffee so will keep selling that and will use that for lounge. All baking goods are being provided for the rest of the semester. Want to think about coffee over the summer – at email or elections but no decision on whether we will do it. 

Post-Mortem

  • RE Peter: Spencer/Andrew
    • Beer was leftover, and money was leftover as well. So bought a cart and a projector for the BGSA. Will give awards in cash for some with email paper trails. And will process the rest of the money for it as well.
  • Budget: Spencer/Antonia
    • Have run out of cheques. Will double check speed codes to ensure end-of-year is up-to-date. Should finish off the year at ~$4000.
    • Need a mock budget for the end of the year.
  • Snackroom: 
    • Will probably need an additional person over the summer.

Future Events

  • Curling (March): Brian and Courtney
    • 7 teams signed up, 2 teams still need to pay. Brian will hold on to the cash and pay things as necessary. Will book tomorrow or Wednesday. Curling 3-6. Trivia and (free) pizza afterwards.
  • Candidacy (April): Colleen will take over from Andrew
    • Will plan to have that done before the election. There will be a talk and a pannel.
