Meeting. Nominations for officers will be opened. We will also start working on the combine. If you are around at 5 p.m., I will come in early and we can go get it and begin working on it before the meeting. Also mark your calendars for the Lawnmower/Snow Blower Clinic which is Tuesday, April 11. I will let you know if there are any changes and get you times later. This is our big money maker so the more people that come, the quicker it will go. Thanks.

ASM Club meeting in the south lab. Students to bring $20 deposit for a deposit on the spring trip.
Some important things discussed and voted on during the meeting:
1. The club voted and passed a motion to allocate $600 for the spring trip.
2. The club voted and passed a motion
that the trip is open to the first 15 club members who sign up due to the fact that we will be renting a 15-passenger van for the trip. Eleven spots have been filled for the trip.
3. The club voted and passed a motion that the trip is open to the first 15 club members who have paid dues for fall and spring dues and have participated in fundraising activities. No exceptions.
Other notes:
The tours and the trip is going as planned. Storm got his certificate to drive the 15-passenger van, so we will rent one soon. The first four eligible members to respond to this e-mail will be put on the list. If you do not attend the meetings, you will not be kept up-to-date on the happenings of the club. Also, we will use the $600 to cover hotel and transportation costs. The remaining cost of transport and hotel will be split up between the people on the trip. Lift ticket, ski rental, food, and other costs will be covered by the individual. If you have any other questions, call me at 701-520-8133. Deadline to respond is 8 a.m. Monday, March 6. Thanks.

Wednesday, February 22, 2006 - spring trip update
I called motor pool and found that gas is included in the rates ($.73 for 15-passenger van; $.43 for minivan). The only problem is that the 15-passenger van certification test is offered April 15. Minivans require no certification, so we will probably end up taking 2 minivans instead, which will increase the cost of the trip by a little bit. The other option is to have Mr. Disrud or Mr. Solseng chaperone us as they are certified. They may want to go anyway. I will look into it. Thanks.

Meeting and meal in the ABEN south lab. Draft of spring trip itinerary follows. $20 will reserve your spot on the trip but Jeff and I think that it will probably cost each individual about $50-60 to go. Pending a vote, ASM may cover the rest. If you have any questions, email or call me at 701-520-8133.

- If you would like a shirt for homecoming let me know. If you would, I need to have the count by October 4 but most importantly, the size you want. The logo will be that of the superman diamond with the club's name and Ceres around it and Homecoming 2005 in it. Then, on the back will be our club names swooping up like the superman title used to be. Let me know.
- If you would like to participate in the skit, the girls have one made up and auditions are October 4 at 6 p.m. Meet at their house an hour before to rehearse and then try out. Ceres is the house just south of Albrecht. They have spots for people so go if you can go.
- On Wednesday, October 5, we will work on tractors. Beet harvest may be going on so if you cannot attend, don't worry.
- That's all for now - sorry this is such short notice but I just found out as well. If you are on committees, make sure you are getting busy with them. Especially the bed race!!
