currently.

Drug Courts and Pontiac.
V. Announcements:
A. The former vice-president was removed. She will be replaced
by Wayne Klemme, current treasurer-elect.
VI. Old Business
A. Wayne has been working on a shirt design for ACA. We're hoping to
have price ideas by the December meeting.
VII. New Business
A. We have positions that we need to fill and appoint members are for.
Positions that were filled by:
1. Membership Committee Chair: Sarah Pollack
2. SSAC Representative: Toya Winters
3. Program Chair: Jamie Allerd
4. PR Chair- Sam Azarela: Sam is interested in helping updating and
redesigning the NIU-ACA webpage.)
B. We still have openings for Treasurer, Newsletter Committee Chair and
NIU-ACA representative. There were four people interested in taking the
treasurer position. On December 1st at our next meeting, those four people
interested will speak for 1-2 minutes about why they want the position and
the rest of the members of ACA that attend that meeting will vote who they
want as treasurer. As for the other positions, if anyone is interested in
taking them, please let Courtney or one of the other officers know as soon
as possible.
C. The bake sale was a success! We had originally thought we were going
to make only around $50.00 but we ended up earning around $97.00. Thank
you to everyone to helped with the table last week and to Courtney for doing
awesome on the baking!
D. New fundraising ideas:
1. Legends Vs. Leaders . Jack was a little nervous about people
drowning in a swim-a-thon, but everyone at the meeting seemed to get a kick
of watching Jim and Jack swimming a bunch of laps.
2. Duck Race- If we were to do this, we'd sell rubber ducks to
people and if their duck wins the race, they could win a prize or money and
the rest can go to our organization.
3. Bowling Alley Rental- Jack brought up the idea of renting out
the Huskie Den for a day and having everyone that comes in pay a fixed
price of $10.00 for unlimited bowling, pizza and pop. We could walk away
with a good amount of money towards ACA.
4. Applebee's: If we get approved by Applebee's and we reserve a
day, we'd hand out flyers and if people went to Applebee's on that day with
the flyer, 15% of their food/beverage bill would go towards the organization.
The key thing is to hand out the flyers. (Sam received suggestions to look
into other restaurants for fundraising. She is going to look into it and
bring it to the December meeting).
5. Massage Therapist- Massage Booth for around spring semester
finals.
6. Bake Sale- We may consider doing another bake sale since the last
one went so well in February towards Valentine's Day.
7. SSAC is interested in having a game night including White
Elephant on November 28th at 5pm. A room hasn't been decided as far as we
know yet. They were wondering if anyone would be interested in going.
E. We're still trying to find out prices for the Phoenix conference
and Angola. We need about 13 people to go to Phoenix. The dates for Phoenix
are January 20th-25th. Angola will happen sometime in April but the date
isn't certain yet. It will be sent out on a email or announced at a meeting
as soon as we know.
F. We are currently wanting to update the Bylaws so it is required
that both the president and treasurer will have to sign the checks for the
account.
***Next meeting: December 1, 2011 at 5:00pm in Zulauf 1015.
VIII. Meeting Adjournment at 5:46pm.
