Meeting is called to order at 6:10 PM

Cory read the minutes from the Nov 5 meeting.

There was no treasurer’s report.

Old Business was discussed. This included World Aids Day. Chantel was able to contact Chattanooga Cares and they will be doing AIDS testing on Dec 1 in the Tech Pride Room from 10-1. Emily was completing the paperwork for the use of the Tech Pride Room.

It was brought back to attention that fliers could be useful for the RUC and the Dorms. It was suggested that we contact Printing Services instead of the Photography Office. Matt mentioned talking to I forget the name of the sign shop! , the same place that handled the Forbidden drag show flier. Cory also mentioned places such as Office Max, Staples, etc.

It was discussed that someone should contact Minority Affairs and the Greek Organizations so they can send a mass e-mail to everyone.

Matt talked about how he was meeting with the Counseling Center on the 18^th and if anyone had something for him to bring up in that meeting to let him know.

Upcoming Events were then discussed. The calendar and forum were mentioned.

The upcoming events sponsored by the Genesis House were talked about, and how these were great causes to support. Matt told how Tara Bates, a frequent regular to the TTU Lambda meetings and events, was a sponsor for the Genesis House.

The trip to MTSU was discussed. It was decided that this would be organized via the forum to see who wants to go and figure out the details. It was said that this needed to take place this semester and not next semester.

New Business was then brought up.

The main propositions were the two amendments for the TTU Lambda constitution.

Cory reads the proposed amendments. Amendment 2 would change the Vice President back to a separate office. Amendment 3 would break up the Secretary/Treasurer position into two separate positions.

A vote was then held for the two amendments and they both passed unanimously.

With the opening of new positions, Sara Kruszka announced that she would be stepping down from an officer position. A.D. also mentioned that he would be fine with stepping down as well.

Nominations were then held.

Cory was nominated for the President position.

Amaris, Alex, and Chantel were nominated for the Vice President position.

Emily was nominated for the Secretary position

Chris and A.D. were nominated for the Treasurer position.

A new meeting was announced to hold elections for the office positions. It was scheduled for Wed Nov 19 at 6:00PM.

The new logo designed by Cory and Matthew Gann was discussed. Cory encouraged everyone to comment and make suggestions about it on the forum post.

Two “unofficial” positions were named.

Cathy would be the webmaster, Amaris and Cathy will assist Matt with events as Co-Coordinators.

The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM
