School concert

So I set it up so the robotics team is getting half of the income from the school show on October 23rd (ft. yours truly). However we need members to sell tickets and brownies. Also just get people to come as the more tickets we sell the more money we get. If you are free to sell stuff or make foodstuffs then find me.

2009

So here's the plan:
First meeting next ACA is just for previous members. We'll discuss fund raising, bot ideas and new members.

We'll need to get a booth at the club fair Thrusday the 17th of this month, I'll need to figure out who to talk to. Don't bother too much with getting new members before that, ask people you know will be interested, don't bother overdoing yourself.

As for events, there is one in Pennsylvania, to which we plan to bring a few 15 pounders. Son of a brick for sure, and anonymous is pretty close to being done. I want to do the one that has been in Miami, we would being some 15pounders and a 120 if we make it. But Princess wants to do some lame challenge based event (hell no).

We'll be meeting Tuesday till sometime and Thursday until another time, every week unless otherwise noted.

All this and more will be discussed at the next meeting.
