We didn’t utilize any of the blogs (i.e. Wesleying, Aural Wes)
We can still do a better job of getting students to the record fair
Remaining 80th events of the season
JKK: really need to reach out to the relevant academic departments and the blogs
Exec crew will follow up with Amy
12/8 Free Form Jubilee
Ben M is working on PR along with pledge drive packet stuff
Canned food drive?
We can tell donors: your admission to this event is your donation to the pledge drive and to Amazing Grace Food Pantry
Can also be a Toy Drive, or something for Seniors
Should we require all event attendees to donate? Including students?
Goal is to support the station AND make the event a bit more exclusive
For this event, we’re not looking to fill seats like for our lecture series – we shouldn’t have to pull teeth to end up with a full house
People who should come should be hardcore supporters of the station
Staff can bring a guest gratis
Make sure to tag caveat that nobody will be turned away
Re: canned food – we can have pre-bought cans, so that for those who have forgotten to bring a can, they can just buy one on the spot
Goal is 120 people in attendance (maybe ~ 70 staff plus guests)
Still need to scope out the venue
Talent locked down, except hypnotist is on the fence due to health issues, but Ben has enlisted Louise Murray as replacement
Ben M hopes to hammer down PR, lineup, etc. tomorrow
[Board has retired for executive session to discuss an ongoing personnel matter]
Pledge drive
Has already started
Ben needs to update online and print pledge forms to include knit cap, T-shirt options (white, metallic silver, gold??)
Will go on until the end of December
Other updates
Personnel
Written test at 6 – 7:30 in PAC 002 pm on Thursday; if they can’t, then they should contact board members so they can take during board hours on Friday
Victoria will grade over the weekend; other board members should help and we can have a grading party
Test itself is very similar to last year except:
Taking out “call Program Director” in case of DJ no-shows, and other little things like that
Practicals will be week after Thanksgiving break, there will be a spreadsheet for board members to sign up and help proctor
MDs
Everyone take a look at the newsletter; they updated it to incorporate Ben M’s suggested changes
If everyone approves, will send it out to the staff tomorrow or Wednesday
