From now on, hopefully, you should be able to come to this blog and check out the days that you missed. This will be open to edits by multiple people. Ideally, those that wish to make edits should have their own WordPress accounts, so we can see who made what changes.

First non-officer meeting of the school year.

Things discussed:

• Officers: The number of officer positions has been reduced to two: the President (Michael Deo) and Vice-President (Michael Perez). This issue is NOT open to discussion.
• Contact information: Last year, lack of communication due to inefficient contact information was raised as an issue. To remedy this, contact information is being compiled here at Google Docs. Please send in your contact information to Michael Perez. Alternatively, if you have a Google account, you may request that Michael Perez grant you access to edit the document. Please send in more than one form of contact information. The multiple contact information issue is NOT open to discussion.
• Fundraising ideas: Yes, we are still selling chicken. And donuts. But the club doesn’t have a member with a car. If anyone has sixth period free and a car, let Perez and Deo know. We need someone to pick up the chicken. For morning donuts sales, a business partnership with Science Olympiad is being considered.
• Mandatory meeting dates: A problem last year was that members showed up as they pleased. For the coming year, a mandatory meeting date will be put into effect. The mandatory meeting date is Mondays from three to five. This issue is NOT open to discussion.
• Freshmen: Freshmen now have a Freshmen Day when they can come in and ask questions without being afraid of bothering the senior members. The Chaffey Workshop is now mandatory for them. This issue is CURRENTLY in discussion.
• Returning members: If any members are returning, we would welcome a call from you. Currently, we know that the following members are returning: Michael Deo, Michael Perez, Ryan Hill, Jimmy Cao, and Jaehyun Jeon (tentative).
• Robot designs: Jimmy had a robot design they drew on the board. So did Ryan Hill. Michael Deo took pictures of both. If he could upload them, that would be great. This issue IS open to discussion.
• Team Name: On a more lighthearted note, we are currently looking for a new team name as an alternative to “the Resistance”. This is because nobody knew exactly what the heck we were supposed to be resisting. This issue IS open to discussion.

Afterward, there was much cleaning out of closets.

On August 5th, there was even more cleaning out of closets.

Michael Perez has kindly provided a write-up of what happened on August 6th to be posted later.

Feel free to leave comments on things left out, suggestions, etc.
