Three calls happened recently. Here are the results.<\/p>\n
Alumni Interest Group Leadership Meeting (6\/25\/08):<\/p>\n
Attending: Aiton, Carsen, and members of AB Tech’s Alumni group, with Sarah McMullen.<\/p>\n
1) Carnival recap included attendance figures for various events. Tom Wood believes the figure of 62 for HoB is pretty low. Carsen suggested that a form be available every year during Carnival and Homecoming events to add yourself to a club or activity listing. This way, graduates from the past 9 years will be included in our mailings the year after they graduate. Currently this form is sent out only the year before your 10th reunion and (I think) every 5 years after that.<\/p>\n
2) A call for nominations is out to join the Alumni Association Board. There is a meeting in June, and a new Alumni Interest Group Committee will be active. If you are eager to voice your opinion or represent us in the committee or Alumni Association in general, please contact Carsen.<\/p>\n
3) We discussed the Homecoming schedule briefly. We are currently not on the schedule. This is a topic for the next phone call…<\/p>\n
4) A meeting on the 30th of June will hopefully give us good news about our tax deductible gift status. Currently the definition of “educational purposes” does not include buggy, and Anne Witchner is lobbying for our cause. This meeting I believe will include Jenn Church and possibly Mike Murphy.<\/p>\n

East Meets West brainstorming session (6\/26\/08):<\/p>\n
Attending: Carsen, Aiton, Abby, Dani, Chris<\/p>\n
1) Homecoming. Set up a table and\/or pass out fliers advertising HoB and BAA kick-off during freerolls and around the UC during morning reunion activities. Merchandise to be included at table. Possibly have an old buggy displayed?<\/p>\n
2) History of Buggy. We will encourage undergrads to attend and grab as many passing alums as we can during the weekend. A mailing will go out by the end of August to buggy alums with a letter, a link to the website, and possibly an “I heart Buggy” sticker.<\/p>\n
3) Web site. Lots of ideas came out, and these will be passed on to Sam and Adam in the next couple days.<\/p>\n
4) Chris has already put out the call for a logo on the Facebook Buggy Alumni Assoc. group. If you are not a member, think about joining, or DESIGN A LOGO! … and send it to Chris Stengel.<\/p>\n
5) The psyche reel has got to be done well, and soon, to be included on the website and advertised before Homecoming mailings go out. Dani will be giving this a boost.<\/p>\n
6) Carsen will meet with Tim Seidel of Alumni Relations to set up email addresses for BAA execs, and we’ll address combining forces with their resources to tie our database in with theirs.<\/p>\n

Call between Tom Wood and Carsen(6\/26\/08):<\/p>\n
1) History of Buggy presentation will be condensed to about 45 minutes and focus on years ending in 8s and 3s for reunions happening this year. A teaser version may also be produced.<\/p>\n
2) A flyer advertising the Buggy Alumni Assoc. will be handed out during HoB and at various locations during the weekend.<\/p>\n
3) The preferred time for the presentation, followed by our kick-off event, will be between 11:30-2, hopefully in the UC, on Saturday, October 25.<\/p>\n
4) There might be a panel of speakers talking about their years in buggy through the decades. This is still in its infancy, but a few members of the class of ’73 have expressed some interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
