Business. We discussed changing the meeting days or times of the general English Club meetings. Keeping the day at Monday and switching every other meeting from 4:30pm to 7:00pm seemed to accommodate more club members. A signup sheet was passed around for the club fair on Wednesday, October 4 (11am-3pm); two people were requested to sign up per hour. Plans for our community service project (with the University Players) were discussed and a signup sheet was passed around.

Business. We all introduced ourselves. We discussed plans for a possible trip for this semester. Destinations we came up with included the following: The Mark Twain Museum in Elmira, NY; Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire; Shopping in New York City. We talked about reading to children or the elderly with the University Players for our community service project. Many people seemed to be in favor of this. We had a lengthy discussion about the English National Honor Society, Sigma Tau Delta. Most English Club members were strongly in favor of bringing this to Lock Haven University. We discussed possible requirements for entering Sigma Tau Delta at Lock Haven University (B average in all English courses, etc.) and all members would pay a $30 fee ($26 going to the national organization) for lifetime membership. An induction ceremony and party is still being planned. Ryan Jones, Seth Rohrbach, and Katie Cornax volunteered to help Prof. Myers with setting up Sigma Tau Delta. !

Ryan gave his treasurer's report. He concluded that the Lock Haven University English Club is desperately in need of funds greater than $800 and that we are still struggling to receive more money from LHU club funds. We will need to raise a lot of money for out trip to New Orleans planned in the spring 2001 semester. A used book sale was planned for October 11-13 and Ryan is taking care of the paperwork. A raffle is still being planned for later in the semester and Blockbuster Video has donated a certificate for one(1) previously viewed movie of the winners choice. Members are urged to contact local business for any raffle/other donations. The meeting closed with a reading of various poems by all members.

  Business. The new club officers were introduced.  We all took part in an “icebreaker” and got to know each other better.  A vote was taken for when to hold future general meetings and we agreed to move meetings from Wednesday to every other Monday (4:30-5:30 pm).  We agreed the next meeting will be on 9/18/00.  We had an open discussion about ways to raise money for our trip to New Orleans planned for the spring 2001 semester.  Some suggestions included raffles, craft/food sales, and read-a-thons.  We planned for an October raffle.  Ryan will try to get prizes from Blockbuster and Papa John’s.  Everyone else will report if they have found a company willing to donate money/prizes.  Melissa made a plug for the “Romeo and Juliet” auditions.  Bob Myers explained our plans to join STD (Sigma Tau Delta), an English national honor society, and different ways we can establish membership rules.  No reading this meeting, but members are told to bring their own poetry/favorite poetry to read at the next meeting.

  Monday, April l0, 2000

Attendance: Brianne Goldsmith, Ryan Jones, Melissa Moscater, Seth Rohrback, Sheila Geranvage, Bob Myers.

Business: Our trip is over. We discussed how we may make a trip easier and more enjoyable next year. The raffle is underway but the printer in the Writing Center isn’t cooperating. Professor Myers has the golden touch and as soon as he left the lab the tickets wouldn’t print. Tickets will be ready for pick up on Wed. morning. We have a table in Bentley on Wed. the 26th--there is a sign up sheet going around please sign up for a time. Each person is going to try to sell 25 tickets. Professor Myers offered to write thank you letters to the businesses that donated prizes. Our elections for next year took place. Professor Myers moved to add a position to our constitution, historian. All agreed. All votes were unanimous: President: Melissa Moscater, Vice-President: Seth Rohrback, Treasurer: Ryan Jones, Secretary: Sheila Geranvage, Publicity Officer: Katie Cornax and Club Historian: Brianne Goldsmith. We began to discuss business for next year. We would like to take a trip to New Orleans but if we cannot raise enough money we will take a trip to literary New England. We will have an end of year party on study day, May 2nd from 6-8 at West Branch Fields, There will also be a brief business meeting at that time. Invite perspective member to come meet the officers. The raffle drawing is Wed. the 26th. Katie will make a poster for the table. SELL! SELL! SELL! Professor Myers brought up that the university has a sanctioned chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the English Honors Society. He asked the club if they would be interested in being a part of it. We were. He is going to try to get that started for next semester. We read.  

Monday. April 3, 2000

Attendance: Brianne Goldsmith, Ryan Jones, Melissa Moscater, Seth Rohrback, Sheila Geranvage, Bob Myers.

Business: Everything is set for trip to NYC on Saturday April 8th. We have the van scheduled and the tickets. We will meet on Saturday at 6 a.m. in front of Raub Hall. The 2000-0l budget is past due but since we are a new club they have given us an extension. Professor Myers will prepare the budget and hand it in. It is getting to be that time of year when we have to plan for next fall. Next meeting we will vote for officers. In order to vote a member must have been at at least 75% of meetings. Seth, Brianne, Ryan, Sheila, Katie, and Melissa have voting privileges. Ryan is interested in running for treasurer, and Seth may be interested in running for an office. Our constitution calls for a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Publicity Officer. We decided that for next year we need more publicity. We have set a goal to increase our membership by at least double, but we are going to try to triple our membership. Some possible ideas for next year are Eagle Eye advertisements; Poetry Slam, Halloween reading and we are going to strive for a trip to New Orleans. Our raffle tickets are almost designed, we hope to have them to distribute but next Monday’s meeting.  We have a table scheduled for Bentley to sell tickets. Then we read poetry. Next Meeting is Monday the 10th at 6-7.
