When the robot wars begin, whose side will you be on?

I. Dan
  A.) Burt still has not returned Dan's emails on the CIF lab Card Reader after another try. Will try to set up a meeting with Burt to fix this.
  B.) Kaleigh has finished the poster interviews. Bryan will create a poster template.
  C.) Floor Meeting this Thursday February 02, 2009.
  D.) We need to begin recruiting more members because after this year, about 1/4 of CIF will be graduating or going abroad. If we do not have enough members, we might lose a suite to ResLife.
  E.) Issac needs board member's information to post on the CIF website.

II. Ashley
  A.) Special Interest Housing Week is coming up.
      1.) Feb 26,27, and 28 will be used to promote CIF during Special Interest Housing Week.
      2.) So early and careful planning will be required for this.
  B.) Pi Day
      1.) We need to get more professors who will be willing to be pied on Pi Day
      2.) An idea for Pi Day is to sell one ticket per pie to be thrown as. Which means if someone buys a ticket, they will be allowed to throw one pie at their favorite professor.
      3.) Jay will look into information on reserving Hirst Lounge with Event Support for Pi Day.

III. Bryan
  A.) Bryan will contact C.B. on volunteering to be pied on Pi day,

IV. Jay
  A.) Dues are due on Feb 28, 2009 at 11:59 PM! Pay them!
  B.) So far the people who have paid are:
        1.) Me (Jay)
        2.) Bryan Jacobs
        3.) Mario Morales
        4.) Dan
        5.) Rob Halm
        6.) Emily Vukman
        7.) Issac Richter
        8.) Javier Castillo
        9.) Sara Melnick
       10.) Linda Clough
  Come on, there are 33 of you guys and only 10 of them have paid?

I. Dan (chair)
   A.) Burt has told us that we need a fundraiser event.
      1.) Most likely will occur for Pi Day
      2.) Burt has also suggested that each suite should come up with one fundraiser event, making it 4 fundraiser events.
         a.) This idea was suggested last year, but not done by any suite (so guys, lets amp it up a notch this year!)
      3.) We have found two places for summer storage. More information on it will be emailed out soon.
II. Andrew (Community)
   A.) Game Night!!!!!!!!
      1.) Planned for this Saturday January 31st 2009.
      2.) Will occur at the same time with the January Birthday Celebrations
         a.) There will be cake...it is not a lie, we promise.
            -So we either need some real $$ to buy a cake from Wegmans or declining to buy an ice cream cake from the Corner Store (ice cream cakes are delicious)
            -We also need to spend some declining on snack foods like chips and cookies...or real money at Wegmans. We also need to buy paper plates and napkins if there arn't any.
            -Money from the CIF bank will be allotted for pizza spending. In the past we have found out that ordering from Papa Johns is cheaper than Pizza Hut. 
      3.) Games
         a.) Board Games: Axis&Allies, Betrayal, Diplomacy, Order of the Stick, and many many more in the plastic tub.
         b.) Console Games: Resistance 2, Resistance 1, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Super Smash Brawl, Warioware Smooth Moves, and many more.
         c.) Card Based: Fluxx, Munchkin, regular playing cards.
   B.) Pi Day!!!!!!!
      1.) Temporarily set for March 18th, 2009 (the Wednesday after we get back from spring Break.
         a.) We discussed setting it the week before Spring break and decided against it because everyone would be too busy taking exams then or would have already left by Thursday (March 5th) or  Friday (March 6th). Also, isn't having Pi day way before March 14th a bit too early for a Pi day?
      2.) Bryan or Andrew will talk to C.B. about it.
   C.) Video Game Tournaments (anything but Smash)
      1.) Computer Games: HL 2, TF 2, Counterstrike, Synergy.
      2.) Console Games: Anything but smash...so COD4, Halo 3, Mario Kart,
      3.) Will be co-sponsored by CSUG.
III. Jay (Sec/Tres)
      1.) People Who Have Paid Their Dues: Bryan Jacobs, Emily Vukman, Isaac Richter, Linda Clough, Rob Halm, Javier Castillo.
      2.) For Those Who Have Not Paid...pay!

January 18, 2009

I.) Dan (Chair)

            A. We Have Decided that CIF board meeting will be held on Sundays at noon

            B. Isaac R. needs information about current board members to update the CIF webpage.

                        1.) Contact Info

                        2.) About the board members?

                        3.)  Board Member Photographs?

II.) Kaleigh (Membership)

            A.)       The CIF webpage needs a makeover

                        1.) A separate page with upcoming events

                        2.) A page for prospective CIFers?

                        3.) Lots and lots of photographs from events (eg Game nights, events, movie nights, CIFnic, etc.)

                        4.) In order to do this we need to hire a web-designer

                                    i.) Craig knows someone who will do it for a fee.

            B.) We need to work on advertising ourselves to the UofR Community

                        1.)Solutions:

                                    i.) Wilson Commons Banner (like the ones that hang on that high walkway)

                                    ii.) Events that involve tabling in Wilson Commons which involves free giveaways. Jay can look this up with Event Support

                                    iii.) 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.

                        2.) More Solutions

                                    i.) Guy Fawkes Day for November 5th 2009 next fall semester.

                                          -   Jay should look into getting a decent room with a projector via Event Support.

                                    ii.) 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.

                        3.) We need to get these events posted on the UofR Weekend Highlights

III.) Brian (Tech)

            A. Help @ CIF is working great!

                        1.)        We get almost 100% satisfaction with every client.

                        2.)        However, we need to advertise this more using the dining hall napkin dispenser method which seems to have worked great in the past.

            B. The CIF lab

                        1.) Is all clean and ready to be used

                        2.) However the card reader is not installed yet due to delays with Reslife.

                        3.) The CIF class schedules to be taught in the CIF lab is ready.

            C. The CIF store has items that are in its purchase cue.

            D. Not tech related:

                        1.) We should have a valentines day card exchange.

                        2.) reminder: Valentines Day is February 14th

IV.) Andrew and Ashley (Community)

            A. CIFnic and other events involving alumni should be moved to Saturdays instead    Sundays.

            B. Important CIF events

                        1.) 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.

                        2.) Game Nights will continue.

                                    i. dates for these are to be determined.

                        3.) Movie Nights.

                                    i. we need more popcorn for these

                                    ii. capitalize on spontaneous movie nights (and other spontaneous events like games of Munchkin or Axis & Allies) by taking copious amounts of                                                photographs.

            C. We should delegate a dedicated photographer to take photographs of our events.

                        1.) This person should be dedicated to his or her job by taking these photographs, organizing these to specific dates, and posting them online via link to a picture gallery webpage on a Facebook group.

V.) Jay (Sec/Tres)

            A. Dues! Dues! Dues!

                        1.) The date set for the mandatory CIF $20 due is:

                              February 30th, 2009 before 11:59PM

            B. Stacy will be reimbursed for her CIFgiving purchases

                        1.) This amount will be $52.51

                        2.) This amount was part of the $75 allotted for this event.

            C. 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.

                        1.) 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
