Art for Community Transformation 2/12/2014 in AH 102
Called to Order at 2:36 pm by President Danielle
Members added emails to wordpress to follow ACT’s blog and will get all posts including minutes.
Item 1: Advisor West suggested we finish up last semester’s projects – Denise – Money and art supplies donated for Ronald McDonald House was about $80, check with them or the Children’s Hospital if they would like art supplies, if not see about donating to Spirit of Woman or secular kids group. Also, check if paperwork for scholarship was submitted on time? Lisa White was in charge. Discussed what to do with the $300 raised if not submitted. Suggestions: roll over and raise money again, offer two next spring.
Was suggested that money raised in fall be donated or to scholarsihp, in spring, use for trips or exhibit. Decided that it should be left up to each semesters members. Advisor West stated the past standing rule: Any money raised in the past can be used for charities and to make more money, but not just spent on fun or trips.
Motion made by Tiny, Seconded by Lyle: Take a trip with money we raise this semester.
Discussion: Galleries in Santa Monica, LA, Monterey, Bermont Station, Santa Monica Community college. (bus $1200, combined with other club) ($400 van, seats 10) Need to find driver for van. All in favor of the trip.
Unanimous/Approved.
Additional Discussion: Money needs to be raised for the trips, but will we still do workshops? Are we doing club rushes? Times we made money were at events outside of club rushes. (dollar tacos and tri tip) Suggestions for Club Rush: chalk on the ground, t-shirt screenprint or stencils (spray paint). Current T-shirt sizes are not big enough or small enough. We have printing supplies, but need to check the ink. Best selling cover art: dragons, fairies, tie dye. If use FCC design or ram symbol, needs to be approved. Do several designs before deciding. Print only as ordered and so they see process. Possibly have booth at Fresno Mini Maker Fair, as offering free booths for making, cost for crafting booth. April 12th. Having a casting booth, need to check liability issue. If we sell outside of club rush we need 30 days advance paperwork turned in.
Our main fundraising will by selling t-shirts on campus or whatever vendor fair decide.
Motion by Tiny: Do t-shirts on campus. Add – If we do the T-shirts on campus, do tacos too.
Discussion: We should do the next club rush in March, just to represent and gather members. Pass out flyers in classes.
Question: which rules of order are the meetings to be run under? Partially under Roberts? Advisor West suggested we hold a meeting to learn how our government is run. Consensus based. Whoever presents an idea is in charge of the idea, unless someone steps up for it.
Drop last motion by Tiny.
Motion by Tiny, second by Lyle: Move forward with the idea to make t-shirts, get FCC logo approval first.
Discussion: After approval, then we can move forward to discuss t-shirt sales on campus.
Approved – unanimous
ICC= inter club council – Workshops for scholarships, March 2nd Scholarships deadline.
Question: Would our workshops be for on campus information or money maker?

Sign up for the next club rush, when we find out when it is.
Idea: silicone plaster molds to be sold, to be painted. Past ceramic figures painted did not sell.
