Recap of meeting from (03/31/08)

Hey Everyone! The meeting from Monday went well. I always get more motivated when we actually meet...go figure! Anyway, here is a list of the topics and upcoming events that we discussed:

1.) Field/Research Trip to Port Aransas (04/19-04/20): This is happening and will not be canceled. We will be leaving early Saturday morning (most likely around 7am) and be leaving Port Aransas no later than 3pm. This will be a very fun trip and the weather should be great that weekend. I will give more details about when and where to meet next Monday.

2.) Earth Day (04/22): We will be tabling on the East Mall and getting the word out about our group. We will be out there from around 10am-2pm...volunteers needed, so check your schedules and let me know.

3.) Local seafood brochure: Yeah!!! This is finally a go. I will send out a list of places this week for us to call, please feel free to call some on your own. Hopefully we can have this brochure up and running for Earth Day. We can hand these out then :)

4.) "Seatopia" This is our first shot at an official newsletter. This will have details of what the group is working on and which issues are important for that month. I also want to split up the content in terms of contributors. Maybe one person can be in charge of different sections. That way if someone is interested in a certain topic, they can write about it each month. We will talk more about this in the next meeting.

Ok, that's it for now. Feel free to email me with any questions and bring any ideas or comments to our next meeting! Have a great weekend, see ya Monday!!
