We all signed a card for Downtown Streets team and signed up for waffle sale 12/5. Victoria has to write-up Ludi. Clare and counsels will take lead on playing Saturnalia party 12/10. We need a tree, food, candle exchange. Lindsey and Jacob need to work on scrapbook. Ahna Kim submitted publicity, Lindsey and Jacob need to submit a photo of the month. Sonia will submit club of the month entry. Magis will call a representative from shelter for Christmas Party 12/12. Middle School Party sometime in January, possibly doing geocaching? We will make Saturnalia bags next Tuesday for all 8th graders and all Freshmen to promote taking Latin. Ahna will make a publicity presentation next semester. Someone needs to write up an explanation of Saturnalia. 

We discussed the finances after Ludi: we will not donate half of the money to scholarships. We will use it for future JCL service events (with Redwood City family house for example). We will donate some, with that amount to be decided after we have our final financial report. We will host a waffle sale on Thursday 10/5. Ethan will email to get information in announcements. Sonia still trying to get in contact about the Christmas party for shelter. We are going to propose 10/12. Aeqora went well on Thursday. Claire, King, Morgan, and Magis went. Send photos to Sophie. We are going to play a Saturnalia party on 12/10. We want a real tree as well. Maybe moving Italy trip on 6/8. We are going to think about updating MJCL Constitution and bylaws. Claire will send a copy of the bylaws to everyone and people can make edits on suggesting mode. Planning for State Convention: There will be one group that goes to Disneyland on Sunday and one group that comes home early (Sunday morning). Magis will send out information about flights.

We wrote thank-you notes for Flik’s Scot Melillo, College Counseling, and Admissions for helping with Ludi. Magis and Victoria need to do their write-ups. Magis announced that Aeqora starts Thursday 11/14. Italy trip will be June 6th – 20th. Sophie proposes a motion to expand to Flickr pro. It is a yearly payment of $50. The motion passes. We want a tree in the corner of A222 and maybe a Saturnalia party before finals. We ruled out going to a concert in December and are still considering going to Cirque du Soleil in January.

Morgan – Finance Report 

Menlo did not give us the money that we earned from State Convention

New old guy, Magis thinks the guy from last year did not do a good job 

Starting on a clean slate – we need to start making money — waffle sales, we no longer have $6,000 to start with, $1,000 for the zoo

How much should we charge Menlo student for Ludi? – $25 is normal, maybe $10 

Lorica update: we want it done by back to school night
