Terri suggested Heffer International for a community service project. We would buy a farm animal that would be given to a family in a needy village to use for food, etc.

Dalace spoke to an alumna who is running for assemblywoman who wanted to come back to get people registered to vote. Definitely a good idea, we would like to work with her.

CPAC:
Dates are Thurs-Sat March 1-3. Last year we went down Thursday morning. You would be missing classes. Registration before November 17 is only $15/person.
We also need to reserve a hotel room earlier this year. The club budget will pay for some of it, but there may be an additional fee to go (last year was around $50). Think about whether you want to go or not, so we can get an idea about how many to count in the budget, etc.

Dalace was going to look for our Cayuga County Women’s Republican Club contacts. We had offers to help with campaigns at the end of last semester, and would like to see if we can still do this.

We are going to be rewriting our Constitution. The club doesn’t really fit how it was written anymore, and our officer positions have changed.

At our next meeting we need to pick a collegiate rep.
