- Waiting to hear back from the SFSS on more specifics about the grant before we can do anything with catering
- We’ve heard back from the BPK and Faculty of Science department about funding, so we’re OK on that part
- We can pick up parking passes since grant has been submitted, SFSS was waiting to hear about a payment method for the passes
4) Kin Cup
- Emily B – email Rec again to ask them when the gym is available
- We can offer the days available when approaching the profs
- Probably want to do it before Kin Games and after midterms
- Week of March 4th or the week after
- Also need to figure out what times work for the profs and grad students and when spring break is (March 16-27)
- Need to talk to Tony and figure out what time works
- basketball, dodgeball, soccer
5) Spring Social
- last year we had a rock climbing social the first week of February
- We had issues with gym scheduling overlap and costs
- We might want to add an informal social at Club Ilia after like at Kin Cup
- Could team up with Kin Games to help with fundraising
- Could do something different like snowshoeing
- Overall, would be a good idea to do a social in February, but we can brainstorm next week for different activities if we want to change it up
- We also have trivia night that we need to keep in mind for March
6) Weekly Cookie Break
- last semester we talked about helping out organize a cookie break every week, we are still waiting on updates
7) Microwave
- It’s not put out in the BPK Lounge yet, we need an update on this and we can organize a weekly cleaning schedule
8) Travel Funding Motion
- Bader is going to a conference in January and has asked for $100 in travel funding
- We’ll put a motion next week since we don’t have enough people this week
