Agenda & Proceedings:
Social

She also emailed Lisa about the alcohol permit but has not heard back. Eve-Marie will also email the person who has the booking before Festivus to see if we can use it before 7.

Professional Development

Reports

Communications

• ENEWS: Blurbs are due by Sunday at noon!
  

General

• Drum Circle: MUSA cannot book SSMU rooms without a fee because they are not technically a SSMU union yet this year. The Madeleine Parent room has been booked on the day we wanted so we are going to ask Counselling Services if they have an idea for a room we can use.
  
• Volunteer Fair: We have not heard from any other participants.
  

Next Meeting: Next week, same time, same place.

Adjournment: Doug motions to close the meeting at 19:40, Eve-Marie seconds
