II) Dorm Updates:

d. McKee—Ashley Luciano—The building is talking about having a progressive dinner and teaming with the MCA Heather Knight; each ½ floor would be a different nationality with a speaker.  She decided to put a devotion in each of the newsletter and has had positive feedback with that. 

e. Young North—Josh Gmys—Newsletters are up.  Having one-on-ones with Jensen every other week.  Josh’s goal is to be talking to more residents.  There will be a broom ball tournament against Arms at 11 p.m. on October 25, and it is a free event.

g. Arms Men—Conlan Walsh—Halo III Tournament is generating excitement in the building.  Conlan passed newsletters to individual rooms by putting them up in the bathrooms.  The RA’s are encouraging a lot of the activities coming up (Broom Ball, BBBWR, Movie Discussions).  He has been receiving feedback from residents looking into possibilities of some type of dodgeball tournament or increasing community through a promo-giveaway for doors that are open.

IV) New Business:

1) Tom Pyle requested that members make more of an effort to turn the newsletters in on time because it is a major part of the job, and there is a month that they have to complete them.  The next newsletters are due November 30.
