Board Minutes for January 18th, 2009

  1. Dan (Chair)
    • We Have Decided that CIF board meeting will be held on Sundays at noon
    • Isaac R. needs information about current board members to update the CIF webpage.
      • Contact Info
      • About the board members?
      • Board Member Photographs?
  2. Kaleigh (Membership)
    • The CIF webpage needs a makeover
      • A separate page with upcoming events
      • A page for prospective CIFers?
      • Lots and lots of photographs from events (eg Game nights, events, movie nights, CIFnic, etc.)
      • In order to do this we need to hire a web-designer
        • Craig knows someone who will do it for a fee.
    • We need to work on advertising ourselves to the UofR Community
      • Solutions:
        • Wilson Commons Banner (like the ones that hang on that high walkway)
        • Events that involve tabling in Wilson Commons which involves free giveaways. Jay can look this up with Event Support
        • Posters w/ current CIF members and their bios
          • Posters will show that all CIF members aren't all computer majors. Each poster will have the bio of one CIF member. We will use about ten different members on CIF for these posters.
          • Time Frame for poster design is set for the end of this Monday January 19th 2009?
          • We project the posters should be printed and ready to put up by the end of Janurary.
      • More Solutions
        • Guy Fawkes Day for November 5th 2009 next fall semester.
          • Jay should look into getting a decent room with a projector via Event Support.
        • Pi day
          • Event is should be set to take place on March 3rd, 2009
          • The event should be set inside of Hirst Lounge at Wilson Commons, so Jay should look into Event Support on reserving that                                                space for the day.
          • The event might have pie throwing at your CS Professor of choice, or just regular people. There might also be a pie bake sale. Pie shaped cookie cutters might be used. There also might be pie speed eating contests.
      • We need to get these events posted on the U of R Weekend Highlights
  3. Brian (Tech)
    • Help@CIF is working great!
      • We get almost 100% satisfaction with every client.
      • However, we need to advertise this more using the dining hall napkin dispenser method which seems to have worked great in the past.
    • The CIF lab
      • Is all clean and ready to be used
      • However the card reader is not installed yet due to delays with Reslife.
      • The CIF class schedules to be taught in the CIF lab is ready.
    • The CIF store has items that are in its purchase cue.
    • Not tech related:
      • We should have a valentines day card exchange.
      • Reminder: Valentines Day is February 14th
  4. Andrew and Ashley (Community)
    • CIFnic and other events involving alumni should be moved to Saturdays instead of Sundays.
    • Important CIF events
      • We plan on recognizing CIF member's birthdays by having one celebration a month for the people's birthday's in that month. The date of this celebration is yet to be decided upon.
      • Game Nights will continue.
        • Dates for these are to be determined.
      • Movie Nights.
        • We need more popcorn for these
        • Capitalize on spontaneous movie nights (and other spontaneous events like games of Munchkin or Axis & Allies) by taking copious amounts of photographs.
  5. Jay (Sec/Tres)
    • Dues! Dues! Dues!
      • The date set for the mandatory CIF $20 due is: February 30th, 2009 before 11:59PM
    • Stacy will be reimbursed for her CIFgiving purchases
      • This amount will be $52.51
      • This amount was part of the $75 allotted for this event.
    • Jay needs to check and see if all mail from the Chase bank for CIF gets to the CIF mailbox. Also, the location of this mailbox needs to be located.
      • However, this problem will be fixed if CIF switches over to online banking.
Whew, that was a lot. Jay S. Kim, Secretary/Treasurer of CIF
