Meeting Minutes - February 2, 2010

LEHIGH CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA

MINUTES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONFERENCE CALL

FEBRUARY 2, 2010

On Call
Joanne Giangiulio, Dan Gwiazdowski, Mike Glasheen, Melissa Glozman, Andrew Hartmann, Monica Timor (LUAA)

Philabundance Community Service (2/6/10)
Andrew reported that an extremely large response has been received (even after cancellations) of in excess of 40 people. Given the site space limitations, there is some question whether this could actually be too large a group. However, consensus is to go forward as is because some people likely will not show and threatened snow storm may also decrease attendance.

Wrestling Meet Brunch (2/21/10)
Melissa reported that the response to invitation has been sparse to date. However, a reminder will shortly be sent. Also, the Lehigh Wrestling Club population is going to be shortly informed of the event. The view was that minimum of 20 people is needed for the event to go forward. A decision will be made about a week in advance on proceeding with the event, based on actual responses at that time.

YAC Coast to Coast (2/27/10)
Monica believes that this event (brewery tour) is still on, although invitations have apparently not been sent as yet. Monica will investigate and get back.

Career Networking Reception (3/16/10)
Monica reported that this event will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 at the Vanguard offices in Malvern.

National Constitution Center (3/24/10)
Monica reported significant developments. The event will now have an Asa Packer component to the program, with Asa Packer Society and Club officers to receive written invitations and reception for 6:00 to 6:30.

E-mail invitation will be sent to several geographic areas in addition to Philadelphia. Asa Packer Society and Philadelphia Club to co-host. As many Club officers as possible are asked to attend to assist with hosting. Initial speaker has been conflicted and LUAA is securing alternate speaker(s).

Format is for cocktail reception, presentation, and Q&A. Program to end at 9:30.

Philadelphia Mural Tour (late May/early June)
Mike Glasheen continues to investigate.

Website
Dan reported that he has added the minutes of the January call and wrestling brunch event invitation. Also, we are getting some 30-50 views per month. Dan is going to investigate further linking possibilities.

March 10, 2010 at 6:30 pm via telephone conference.

Join fellow alumni volunteers for PHILABUNDANCE

Saturday, Feb. 6, 2010 - 8:30 a.m. to noon

Philabundance is the region's largest food bank and food rescue organization. They provide food to partner member agencies in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. Philabundance works to fight hunger by collecting food from the Philadelphia Food Distribution Center, wholesalers, distributors, supermarkets, restaurants, local growers, importers and community organizations. Last year, they distributed more than 22 million pounds of food to feed those in need.

At the Berks Street site, we will help sort non-perishable food that comes from supermarkets, food drives and food donors. In addition, volunteers will help to stock shelves in the walk-through area where member agencies shop for food.

Sign up today by e-mailing Andrew Hartmann '00 (ath399@lehigh.edu)

Volunteers must be 9 years of age to participate.

Questions, please call Andrew at 267-872-5024.
