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


II.    WELCOME to everyone, especially guests Don Kossick and Bill Tasch
        from downtown Ann Arbor Kiwanis.


III.   MEMBER OF THE MONTH
        For the month of November we had two members of the month. The
        first was Nuram who was talked about by Kevin. Also, Karuna was
        introduced as member of the month by Nick.


IV.    BIRTHDAY COMPETITION
        The birthday competition for this month was run by the MDER
        committee at this week's meeting. The competition was a variation
        on the game "Scattergories" where players had  to come up with
        words beginning with a certain letter, all related by a theme,
        such as "winter songs." Nick won the competition and will compete
        at the end of the year in the finals.


V.     JEOPARDY
        To review some fun and interesting facts from the semester we
        all played a Circle K trivia Jeopardy game. The meeting was
        divided into three teams and rules were similar to the TV
        version of the game. Questions included: "Which project has
        occurred most frequently this semester?" and "Name the month Lisa
        Slominski was born in."


VI.    SOCIAL POINTS
        Lindsay, our social chair, has been keeping track of everyone's
        social points this semester and prizes were handed out for those
        with the most points. Points are awarded for attending socials,
        bringing friends to socials, and wearing your Circle K t-shirt to
        socials. First prize went to Pam with a $30 shopping certificate
        to Briarwood mall.


VII.   SKI TRIP UPDATE
        We all got an update on the Circle K ski trip, planed for the
        first weekend we are back from winter break. If you have your own
        equipment the trip will cost around $60-$70 and equipment rental
        is expected to be about $30 more. There are plenty of people
        going who don't ski, and there will be lots of other activities,
        so don't worry if you don't ski. Friends are welcome to come and
        the more people we get to go, the cheaper it will be for everyone.

I know this isn't really a secret message
but if you are wondering about how many
hours you have accrued over the semester
and summer I am working on putting a table
on the website so when you log in you can
check your hours. I expect to have it up
in a day or so.
