- Three people from last semester below 22 (and also the same 3 are below 20)
- There was complaining when we raised the quota to 25 (Tommy)
- Two board game nights a month to make it easier to meet quota? (Austin)
- Concerns over it being then âtoo easyâ to get points for food, setup, and attendance for each game night (Josh)
- Only a few people normally helped set up and they would have done so regardless in the past (Josh)
- 22 is good because itâs easy to drop down to 20 later (Josh)

- Voted on 22 points being the quota; passes
- Re: Double game nights; one âofficialâ game night, one âcasualâ game night, with one open to the public and one for members only? (Austin, Josh, Isabel)
- âCasualâ one will have no advertising and decoration, but can bring friends

- Put in allowance in the budget for paper purchase if needed before we hear back from RHA (Tommy)
- Note for the spring to allocate more money for Formal Game Night food in case we run out quickly (Tommy)
- Furniture in budget (Josh), tables and chairs for the lab
- Furniture could go in the Miscellaneous section and make that a larger allocation
- Want new whiteboards and markers
- Maybe $150 for tables, chairs, whiteboard? (Austin)
- Planned to have whiteboard be the largest expenditure; furniture should be used
- Want to keep kitchen supplies in the budget (Tommy)

- Want people to give room tours
- Print more flyers
- Could experiment with going no-flyers for some events? (Josh) â too much of a loss during fall semester when first years want to learn about organizations
- Flyering the wall right in Sue B stairs area is a good place
- Cosponsor request from juggling (Wed the 11th, Juggle for Good, teams compete in games not necessarily involving juggling, and winnings go towards a charity of your choice)
