[Valentine, Theresa]

John, what happened to the idea of the “open mike”…  we should send out an announcement for people to bring their musical instruments/ prepare skits if we want to…

I personally love the idea of something active - each LTER site creates a volleyball team, or some team, to compete against all the other sites - and establish rules like ti can’t be 100% grad students, or must be equal sexes, or something to level the playing field a bit.

The meeting is coming together pretty well.  Working groups slots are filling up and posters are streaming in.  So the one missing link for the ASM is what to do for the final event.

Originally we were pursuing some sort of band.  One tentative one was selected but people didn't think some, or that type of music playing in the background was really going to work.  There were suggestions for other bands, but checking into them they either "were no longer playing together" or were VERY expensive.

So one of our main discussion points is where do we go from here.

Other suggestions we have include some sort of "game night" - perhaps volleyball where folks could sign up for teams, or sites could duke it out for bragging rights.  Perhaps hoops .   Bob suggested shuffle board (I tried not to say "really?) - but maybe .   We are going to be in a gym after all.

Perhaps we could charge the student committee with coming up with music (like maybe something everybody won't hate).  They actually did this last time - after the old folks left and went to bed,  they took over, plugged a Mac into the sound system and took it from there...  Or at least that is what I heard...

What else????

We need to decide on something, hoepfully during our call in 2 weeks so we can work with the YMCA if we are going to do a pizza night or whatever - we've already ordered all the other things.
