Exec Meeting Minutes 9/25/2009
DEADLINE FOR JOINING = October 31st
*We also need to set deadlines for applications and room reservations for conference
BOARD
*Pics from open house – all officers take pics!
*Meet advisors and officers – name, instrument, major, favorite quote
*Mr. Chunn is taking pictures of all of the freshmen – “Welcome Freshmen!”
SERVICE PROJECTS
*We’d like one big one that we can get everyone involved in
OPEN HOUSE
*Food. Refer to the minutes from September 11th’s meeting to see what each officer should bring. Some changes – Christian will bring chips and Eric will bring dip and also help Cara with the pop. Cara will bring Coke, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Sprite. Eric will bring Mountain Dew. We are also encouraging other people attending to bring food if they are able to!
*Bring laptops so that people will be able to sign up online. John’s laptop will also be playing music, and he has speakers. John will bring napkins and Cara will bring Purell.
*Structure. It will be more of a mingle, get information, “meet and greet” type thing. Because the open house is over such a large period of time, people will be coming and going and it would be too hard to have planned activities.

Possible link?
While triapsing around the internet as I am often want to do, I came across an interesting little website. This site is dedicated solely to providing a database of quotes from musicians, and people in general, about music. Here is the link, and I would think it very cool to add this site, as well as the OMEA site, and a few others to a set of links on one side of this site or another as kind of a resource for the OCMEA.
Here is the quote site: http://musicthoughts.com/
