Update On Committees

Standing Committees

So far, we have established five of the six Standing Committees. All Standing Committees have openings for more Commitee Members. The Committee of Academics still needs to be established, meaning there is not Lieutenant for that Committee. If you are interested in joining a Committee or becoming the Lieutenant of the Committee of Academics, please contact the Executive Board through email.

Action Committees

We have established two Action Committees: Homecoming Cart Action Committee and Fire Prevention Week Action Committee. If you would like to join a Committee, please contact the Executive Board through email. Please view "Action Committees" for more information.

Thank You
-Executive Board

New Type Of Committee

The Executive Board has decided to split Committees into two types: Standing Commitees and Action Committees.

Standing Committees are the six normal Committees we have established (Committee of Academics, Committees of Personal Development, etc). Standing Committees will still be presided by Battaltion Chief Brown.

Action Committees are temporary Committees that work on specific goals of the club. For example, the club wants to have an event in the next two months. Anyone who is interested in participating would join an Action Committee. That Commiteee is responsible for the development and planning that event. They are entirely independent from interference from the Executive Board.

More information to be announced.

Thank You
-Executive Board

New Executive Board Member

We are pleased to announce the newest member of the Executive Board: [Captain] Katie Wexler. Captain Wexler is our new Publicist, meaning she'll be handling all the publicity and public relations between the club and the general public. She will also be assisting throughout many events regarding information distribution.

Thank You
-Executive Board

Meeting Date: 10/28/08 (Tuesday, October 28)
Meeting Place: Room W-101
Meeting Time: 3:00PM to 3:30PM

Participation Through Committees

Participation needs improvement.

The Fall 2008 semester is about halfway complete. Unfortunately, we, as a club, haven't done much. Not because we don't have enough resources, but the majority our club members are not taking initiative to become active.

The best way to participate, as a member of SACFTC, is through Committees. Joining a Committee allows members to collaborate with one another in order to benefit the entire club. You do not have to be present during club meetings to be part of Committees. Simply share ideas with your fellow Committee members and Committee Chair whenever you obtain the chance.

If you would like to join a Committee, or maybe even become a Committee Chair, contact us at our club email address.

We are not asking for help. We are looking for commitment to make SACFTC stronger, more active, and an overall great resource for all.

Thank You
-Executive Board

Club T-Shirt Design

During the previous meeting, the club decided upon the official logo and official wording for our club t-shirts. The winning submissions are currently on display under "Photo Gallery". We will keep everyone updated on shirt sizes, prices, and an estimated time of arrival.

A big thank you to everyone who submitted logos and wordings!

Thank You
-Executive Board

Next Meeting

Meeting Date: 10/21/08 (Tuesday, October 21)
Meeting Place: Room A-128
Meeting Time: 3:00PM to 3:30PM

NOTE: We have changed the meeting location to Room A-128. Club meetings will most likely remain in Room A-128 until further notice. We apologize if this has caused any inconveniences, but the Board and club agreed (through majority vote) upon relocating.

Hope to see you all.

Thank You

Fire Prevention Week

Our first event is currently in the making.

Fire Prevention Week will be either 2 or 3 days of relaying information to the public about fire and fire safety. The event will take place in front of the fountain (SAC campus) between undetermined times.

We will be giving trivia to random SAC students about fire safety. Those who answer questions correctly receive prizes, which are also undetermined. We will also be selling food (hotdogs). During our last meeting, one of our members suggested the possibility of donated food. We may also hold a drawing/raffle for a special prize.

We are aware that the official Fire Prevention Week has already passed, but due to SAC policies, our event has been pushed towards the end of October or beginning of November.

If anyone is interested in assisting in the planning of this event, please contact us through our club email. Be sure to attend our meetings to receive all information regarding the club.

Thank You
-Executive Board
