Old Business
None
New Business
We have $230 in the rolling fund.
Eric Fishman has proposed $20 for a SY-wide lottery! To boost morale, one SY student will win $20 to do with what he or she will, perhaps announced somewhere in the Dean’s weekly notes. J SCC will receive the receipt for whatever the winner spends the $20 on. Maybe there will be a dinner-time presentation of a giant novelty check!
The exact legality of this is perhaps questionable. Many helpful anecdotes were heard from council members. An idea to make the $20 for Squiche credit instead?
We passed the $20 proposal. The legality will be hashed out later.
Paul Elish has a proposal to furnish the courtyards with Christmas lights. (credit goes to Maddy Popelka for the idea.)
We passed the $100 proposal.
