CALL TO ORDER, President Lisa Slomionski, 7:10pm II. WELCOME to everyone, especially guests Don Kossick from the Ann Arbor Downtown Kiwanis and Lynne Strickler, as past UM Circle Ker. Thank you to everyone who came to the mass meeting. We had a great turnout and hope to see you all throughout the semester. Also our annual fall picnic is coming up this Sunday at 4:30. We will be grilling and hanging out at Elbel field on the corner of fifth and hill so come by and check us out. III. MEET THE COMMITTEES This was our "Meet the committees meeting so we had each of the chairs come up in front of the club and give a brief 90 second description of their committee and why people should join. After all the chairs give their speech we had tables set up around the room for each of the committees and people could stop by and get more information about the specific committees in which they were interested. If you were unable to attend the meeting in the union last night, or if you want more information, visit our website, *www.umcirclek.org* for description of the different committees as well as signup sheets. Remember, all committee applications are due September 28th, which is next week! If you are interested in joining a committee, visit the Circle K office on the fourth floor of the union (rm 4213) to schedule an interview time. IV.
