I.     CALL TO ORDER, President Lisa Slominski, 7:10pm


II.    WELCOME to everyone, especially Mike Pearson, former UM Circle
        K president.


III.   YEARBOOK PICTURE
        At this week's meeting we had our picture taken for the UM
        yearbook. This might be a good year to buy one because the
        photographer from the yearbook said that this may be the last
        year the book is printed due to financial problems.


IV.    MEMBER OF THE MONTH
        Every month the club selects a "Member of the Month" from
        nominations made by members. The member of the month for October
        is Pam Handley, who was nominated by Phillip. Phillip came up to
        the front and explained why he nominated Pam for the award.


V.     BIRTHDAY COMPETITION
        Every month MDER runs a birthday competition for the members who
        have birthdays that month. This month's competition was a pin the
        tail feather on the turkey contest. Jennifer Parker was the
        closest, winning the competition for the month of November.  She
        will take part in the finals at the end of the year.


VI.    STEREOTYPING ACTIVITY
        To introduce this month's social issue of the month, mental
        disabilities, MDER put together an activity for our club this week
        where all the members had a card taped to their heads which listed
        a particular mental disability. They then interacted with each
        other, not knowing what their own card said about them. After the
        activity MDER told us a few facts about mental illness and how
        it related to the activity.


VII.   UPCOMING PROJECTS

      ~-~APO Blood Battle~-~
        The annual blood battle with OSU is now on! Whichever school
        donates the most blood wins the competition. This activity runs
        everyday until the 19th. For times and places to donate check out

VIII.  CLOSING
        After the meeting we went to Max and Erma's for a social
        fundraiser. We needed to spend a certain about there in order to
        get a donation from the restaurant, so we all ate a lot of food.
