CALL FOR OFFICERS

We have a Chairperson at least through the Fall 07 Semester. But we'll be needing a Chairperson-Elect ASAP.

However, we will not have a Vice Chairperson after the Summer 07 Semester. We need someone for this position.

And we will not have a SGA Representative (Student Government Rep) after the Summer 07 Semester. We absolutely MUST have someone for this position.

If you are interested, please contact me at jonesd@tcc.fl.edu.

TURBOCOR TOUR

As mentioned in earlier posts, the Tallahassee Section ASME is planning a tour of the Danfoss Turbocor plant on Friday, July 13, 2007 @ 2 pm. In order to complete the planning process we need to provide them with an accurate head-count of attendees.

I believe this is a marvelous opportunity to learn more about a remarkable product, and I urge you to take it.

Please respond by Fri., June 29, 2007
+++ DEADLINE EXTENDED TO TUE. JULY 3, 2007 +++

Make the "Subject Box" of your email be TURBOCOR TOUR, and in the "Body" of your email provide the following information.

• name,
• telephone number,
• email address,
• degree of certainty of attendance (confirmed vs probable).

  • Domino’s Pizza will (future tense) supply us with pizza & drinks. We’ll give them a certificate of appreciation, or some suitable plaque.
  
  
  • Komlan needs volunteers for various committees.
  
  
  • The Senior Section ASME is organizing a plant visitation to Turbocor. The tour will be July 13 (Fri) at 2pm. We have been invited to participate. Jones will be asking for sign-up names and information soon.
  
  
  • T-Shirt Update: Jones is working with Dylan at Deepsouthsigns on the shirts. At this meeting it was decided to see about getting both Polos and T’s.
  
  
  • Parking Deck Update: Clearing of the North Parking area is underway.
  
  
  • Fundraising Update: Amesse will send Dr. Carr wording on criteria for Engineering Scholarship, which will be presented to the Foundation in enlisting their expertise in establishing a scholarship fund.
  
  
  • Club Room Update: Jones has been reminding Dean Brown of our needs. Hopefully we can get something temp. by Fall. Permanent may take a year, depending upon when the Writing Center moves out of the AC Bldg.
  
  
  • Web Page Update: O’Connor is working on it http://www.tccengineeringclub.com/ . Put a link to the e-club blog on it! And a calendar.
  
  
  • Instead of Fall class visitations by club members to advertise the club, it was decided to set up a table at the front of the SM Bldg sometime during the first week or so of classes – with promotional material such as Engineering Club pencils. There will be a sign-up sheet.
  
  
  • Our next meeting will be Fri., 7/13/2007 at 12 noon. As Loftis and Carr pointed out we’ll need to secure at least a Vice Chair and a SGA rep. at that time. Other officers (esp. a Sec!) would be helpful (Jones is an advisor, not a Sec!) Jones will put an invitation on the Blog for Officer Candidates. After this meeting we’ll go to the Turbocor tour.
  
  
  • We’ll probably have the FSU vs GATOR Engineering meeting on or about the 3rd Fri. in Sept. (as per usual).
  
  
  • Meeting adjourned at about 4:30 pm.
