Board Minutes for February 12th, 2010

SIH Information Session: The Special Interest Housing Info Session is Monday, February 15 at 5pm in Hirst Lounge. Members of Board will be attending and Floor Members are strongly encouraged to make an appearance and help out. Photos still need to be retrieved from Bryan for the slide show at this Info Session — this can be supplemented by pictures on Facebook, but we would definitely like to use some of these older photos. Approval of Funds for Game Night (2.20.2010): Since we are getting three sheet pizzas for this event, $90 was approved by Board. We'll be setting out half of the chips and soda before the pizza comes and the other half after the pizza is eaten to have a better balance of appetites and food. Art Awake: CIF will only be donating pieces of computer equipment from the cage rather than actual sponsorship. The representative from Art Awake also asked for some volunteers (for basic setup and technology setup) — we will be discussing this further at the Floor Meeting on February 18. Financial Update: In essence, Chase has an easy setup (since they're familiar with our organiztion) but charges us outrageous inactivity fees while HSBC has a much more difficult setup process (with complicated stipulations). Furthermore, the person we spoke to informed us that HSBC will be removing the "Free Business Checking" type of account we were looking into in the near future! We're really between a rock and a hard place in terms of banking at the moment — and worse, if we were to continue our PayPal idea, it's much easier to have a checking account linked with the PayPal account. We will be discussing our options in the next couple of weeks. Recruitment: If there is anyone you know interested in CIF, tell them to come on floor! Also, if the Anime Interest Floor does not get residential space this year, we will be contacting them to give them the opportunity to apply to CIF if they wish to do so.
