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.
