[Oabs] September meeting

[Emily Pennington]

Either of those nights work for me. Also, Kaiti, I'm sending you an e-mail
off-list with the necessary information once I get out of class for the day.

Hi, OABS,

I recognized tonight that we have not yet had a meeting this month, and that
we should have held it last Thursday.  This month has been very sleepy for
us without a membership committee meeting as Aleeha moved into LCB just a
short time before that, but we do need to meet this month to start
finalizing convention details.  I appologize for the oversight.

As some of you already know, my grandmother has been very sick the past few
months.  It looked like she was going to move into hospice earlier this
month, and that time came this past week right around Wednesday.  It truly
was a case of not having the meeting even cross my mind at that time.  I
recognize that we might have to play with the timing to make it work, but I
am open to suggestions for that.  My recommendation is that we hold the call
either this Thursday at 7:00 or 7:15 in advance of the fundraising
committee's usual time, or we hold them the following Thursday which would
be vacant of any other committee meetings anyway.  That would be October 1st
if I'm not mistaken.

I hope that you all will be patient with me this month, and I will make sure
this does not happen in October; it can't right before convention.  This is
the time we need to make the push to get everything settled.  We do have the
luxury of a few extra weeks to prepare since convention isn't in early
November this year, but we need to take advantage of those as best we can.

A final note: Please send me any additional information or corrections you
might have for the gavel award forms.  I know I need to contact Emily to go
through treasury information, but otherwise I am missing a good amount of
information from those on the list serve who may not attend meetings
regularly.  Even if you don't attend meetings regularly, please do send me
an email with answers to the form, or even a list of your activities or
extracurriculars you are involved in.  Knowing if you have signed up for
Newsline, Scrip, or if you belong to a local chapter is also helpful.  Odds
are that if I know you're involved in something I already put it down on the
form, but there is a lot that Aleeha, Macy, and I (who filled out the form
last
month) do not know about the membership and we don't want to exclude
anything important.
