Hey all!!
 
Thanks to everyone who came out to the meeting! A hearty "Welcome back!" goes out to all the returning members, and a beefy "Welcome!" goes to all the new members that we have this year.  Speaking for exec, we are pumped to see everyone ready and willing to work to make this a great year for SAC and for Centre.
 
So here's the deal on what we did last night at our meeting:
 
First of all, our officers introduced themselves. 
     Monica DeCarlo (senior) is our President)
     Mira Gentry (senior) is our Executive Vice President,
     Thom Greene (senior) is our Vice President of Finance aka "guy-in-charge-of-the-money,"
     Christina Garcia I am the Vice President of Administration (fancy term for secretary),
     Mary Catherine Starr (sophomore) is our Vice President of Public Relations - she makes the pretty posters =),
     Marie Davis (sophomore) is our Vice President of Membership, previously known as the "Spirit Chair" - she gives us candy or other fun things.
 
Then we had a briefing by Monica about our advisor.  It went sorta like this: Our former Director of Student Activities received a job offer from another institution in Alabama over the summer, and she accepted it.  The Student Life Office has yet to find a replacement, so until we get a new Director of Student Activities, Trina McFarland is going to be our advisor.  Trina has had experience with SAC before, although now she works primarily on community service projects (Go Trina!)  Exec will play a part in the decision-making process for our new advisor, so if there are any concerns you may have, please feel free to contact any of us and let us know.  We will also be keeping you updated on the quest for a new advisor, so stay tuned.
 
Having said that, Trina gave us the update on the frontier of the new advisor search and said that the SLO has already decided on candidates to interview and will be bringing them to campus in the next 2-3 weeks.  In a happy world we would have a new advisor by the first of November, so let's keep our fingers crossed (no offense Trina).
 
Some administrative notes:
     Meetings will continue to be held at 8 PM on Monday nights on the 3rd floor of the Warehouse - it helps us stay organized for the upcoming week.
     Exec meetings are held on Monday afternoons at 4:15 PM
 
For the remainder of the meeting we broke into small groups and planned October, November, and December.  We had 2 groups working on each month and now we have a whole plethora of event ideas that we could implement this semester.  Next Monday night is when we'll be cementing all our events for those months, so you don't want to miss out!
 
As a final note, we are also trying to create our very own logo.  Mary Catherine has done some sketches for our design, but if anyone else has any ideas or sketches please send them to Mary Catherine.
 
Also, be thinking of t-shirt/theme ideas.  Last year, we were the mob, "organized and connected."  So think up some good ideas and have them ready when the time comes. 
 
That's it from SAC-land.  Have a great rest of the week, and we'll see you next Monday night, same SAC time, same SAC place!
