November [CLUB REVISIONS]

This month is going to revolve mostly around our members and their input. November 5th is going to be an open discussion and we will talk about whatever information everyone feels like bringing to the meeting.We've also extended the discussion portion of the meeting to accommodate for time to make sure everyone gets the chance to talk and so no one feels rushed about what they bring.

With that said, please don't make this a wasted meeting. At our first meeting many of our members asked for the opportunity to know the discussion topics in advance so that they could bring their own information and research yet no one has taken advantage of that yet. And many portions of the discussions have fizzled because it appears that our members want the officers to do all of the work. We would very much appreciate it if you did bring material- even in the form of a list of questions- to the round table discussions. If it is a matter of simply being disinterested in the discussions, please inform us so that can be changed in the future. If you think that the meetings are too structured like a classroom, tough luck. This was how we established the meeting layout and there were no objections at the first meeting. If any of our members have ideas and/or believe that they have a better solution, please do not hesitate to contact us. That's what the blog, the e-mail and the Facebook page are for.

The November newsletter is going to change slightly. Instead of simply being an elaborate e-mail, we are going to try creating an image file (to allow more room for a creative layout) and the e-mail sent out will instead be a link to the blog and the post containing the newsletter. Likewise, I think we will do the same with our announcements.

Discussions are continued on the Facebook page under the discussion boards. If you feel as though you may have been cheated out of valuable information or perhaps came up with more questions, please take advantage of the boards for they are lonely and full of dust.

We really do put a lot of effort, time and enthusiasm into this group through the discussions, through the blogs, the Facebook and through everything else that it is very disheartening to see it wasted. Please take advantage of everything that is available to you so that we can make next semester more fun and eventful.

Thanks, guys.
