Previously Made Decisions – None this week
Campaign Update
Bargaining Update – We’re bargaining tomorrow! We’d like to get more turnout. How can we get people interested? Matt will email the reps to ask them to come and bring friends. We’ll focus organizing on getting people to the May 25th session. Matt wants to use a little of his B-Team budget on pizza for tonight’s meeting and this is okay.
Convention Debrief – This will be next Monday, the 21st, at 7 PM.
Trivia Night – Ashley is “less concerned” than other people about getting turnout. She thinks it will be fine and Jack says people have already asked him about it. Ashley made a very fancy trophy too!
ASOSU Elections Stuff – Issues: Raw data doesn’t match published tallies; the web form was lousy.
AFT-OR Executive Council – Next meeting is on Saturday, June 9th. Mindy, Jack, Wren, maybe Bret, maybe Forrest will be going (of course, Ashley and Katie Stofer will already be there). We need to RSVP by June 1st.
Ed Ray Meeting – It was going to be tomorrow at 11 AM, but Jack got an email from OSU canceling it. He’s trying to get them to reschedule for next week.
Student Debt Occupy Event – Happening this Thursday at the MU Quad 11:15-12:15. It’s on fbook.
Grad Reception – This is on Friday, June 1st. Angi Baxter is organizing an event to honor the work that grads do on campus in research, teaching, and advocacy, as well as the support that faculty and staff provide. Ashley is helping to plan it and would really like CGEers to show up. We’ll also assist by providing a little extra funding: agree on $125, and we’ll use the bargaining budget for it since we’ll be given an opportunity to talk about bargaining at this event.
Budget: Booze-Buying – We’ll purchase some alcohol for both the Trivia Night and EOYP at the same time so that we can have a little more variety and spend less dollars per booze-unit.
