Agenda & Proceedings:
- Introduction to Council Functions: Weekly meeting tentative time: Thursday at 19:30, backups are Tuesday 19:30 and Friday at 18:00.
- First Year Advising: Friday at noon! Heather will tell Lisa that we will provide pizza for them but we won’t do it in the cafeteria. We will make little handouts about First Year Rep and Advanced Placement Rep. We will also have a way to get all their emails so we can contact them. We will introduce MEdUSA and ourselves and then help them with advising.
- ENEWS: To be made at retreat.
- Election of Representatives: We need a First Year, Minor, and Advanced Placement. First Year rep is the most important. Talk to first year buddies!
- Welcome Back Cocktail: Friday September 25 at 19:00.
- Retreat: Next weekend! Everyone is invited (including members-at-large!) We’re leaving Friday evening for Eve-Marie’s cottage. We will plan the year and bond.
- Volunteer Fair: We want to invite QBA, QMEA, Share the Warmth, Yellow Door, and MNHB for a fair to recruit music volunteers or to do special projects with those organisations. We are thinking the last week of September. We need to decide a location and want to ask Lisa if she can be there to talk to people about special projects. Eve-Marie, Heather, and Pei will make a sub-committee to organise this.
- Meeting with the Dean: Hopefully it will be on September 18 or 25 with Colin and Naomi.
- MHFA: Colin was trying to get us Mental Health First Aid Training. It would be sometime in November on a weekend. Colin will ask MUSA and EdUS to join us.
- QBA: Retreat is October 23-25. Advertise to everyone (including first years!) Meet and Greet is Wednesday September 30 at Trois Brasseurs at 17:00.
- QMEA: They are in a very transitional stage at the moment. Doug will stay on as rep. They are still running workshops.
Adjournment: Naomi motions to close the meeting at 17:05, Colin seconds
