V.                 Conference SAAC

Was this past Sunday.  Burdett, Lisa and Jenny went to George Fox for it.  Reports back that most schools did better. 

Ideas from other schools that were interesting was Pacific’s rally rags for games.  Also Pacific had SAAC sweatshirts. 

Grant Proposal for $10,000 for NWC to work on sportsmanship amongst school.

No idea how we would use the money but right now on working on getting it

Bringing them back from the beginning of the year

The top three goals

            Spirit shirts- we have the money to print them and have printed more

                        We will run the same design as last year

                        SAAC shirts artwork will be approved later next week

                                    There will not be a year on them

Professors- want to send a email or letter to professors explaining who student athletes are

                        Thinking a reception with professors to meet as a start for this year

                        Maybe add a specific date to get people to an event

                        Xan volunteered to draft up a letter, also talk to Greg Fredricks

VIII.         Next Year?

Will cover next meeting

IX.              Comments

Maintain academic focus mail sent by SAAC

            Will be signed by all SAAC representatives

            Main focus is students sending it instead of administration

            Sandwich board

Nothing on it at the moment because we need someone to maintain putting updated events on it.  Lisa volunteered

            Pio Log article about swim team

Best thing to do would be to write for the Pio Log to insure accurate information

                        Meetings are either at 4, 5, or 6 on Mondays.
