Finance Committee to draft new SFC by-laws

Last week, Senate allocated $4,700 from $47,652 in unallocated funds.

$4,000 was allocated for a trip to Peru State College Oct. 17-19. $700 was allocated for a ropes course with CAB Sept. 27.

This week, no money was allocated and the new total of unallocated funds is $42,952.

Senate is also introducing a new Senate Finance Committee. This will put CAB and the SFC under the same by-laws to allow for more flexibility. There will be a committee to draft the by-laws with Josh Keating, senator-at-large, as the chair.

As stated by the by-laws the minutes will be available now upon request only.

CAB has $10,300 in unallocated funds as of Tuesday after a $500 allocation for Pink It Out t-shirts.

Director of Student Activities Laure Sinn requested the allocation for pink shirts for Oct. 12 for a “pink-out day.” The shirts will read, “Pink is the new Maroon” for breast cancer awareness month.

Brendan Mead, vice chair of finance, added that CAB is allocated on a quarterly basis and if a club needs extra funds, they need to ask for it before Oct. 1.

Development Officer Leslie Bargen made an appearance to mention requirements for fundraising. She reminded representatives that before any fundraising is done, a form must be filled out. It lets the college know what type of fundraising is being done, and which local businesses have donated money. Bargen said it would be preferable if forms were filled out and turned in at least two weeks in advance, but it can be turned in any time before the fundraiser. CAB Chair Lane Swedberg reminded representatives, “You are representing not only the club, but the campus.”

CAB has also been invited by the Chamber of Commerce and the Chadron High School to participate in a “Moonlight Madness” carnival Oct. 25. The clubs will be helping with games.

The CAB monthly newsletter will be distributed soon. It is in the design stages and will give a re-cap of the month, and a short overview of the next month.
