0.) Welcome Back!
-----------------
Err...Not really much more to say bout that.

1.) Props
---------
Props to Kun & Act for organizing the retreat!

Props to Indrel for all their work over the summer!  Speaking of Indrel... 
(smooth transition cling, were you practicing that?)


2.) Indrel update
-----------------
Check out the new website, hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/indrel .

The jobfair has been postponed until the spring semester for several reasons.  
The Career Center scheduled their fall career fair a week before ours, and they
also sent out their invitations earlier.  Plus many of  our contacts were taken
from a previous Career Center jobfair, so they are more likely to choose the 
Career Center fair over ours.

5 companies have signed up for the spring fair: Microsoft, Cypress, Apple, 
Rambus, and Aerospace.  About 10 other companies have expressed interest.  

There are several infosessions scheduled for the fall.  Upcoming is Microsoft 
on Sept. 9, Amazon on Sept. 10, and Altera on Sept. 18.  Indrel needs pub to 
handle flyers, act to get the food, and bridge to take pictures that are more 
presentable to other companies.  And HKNers should go to boost attendance (and
get free food).

We will make about $2500 from the infosessions, and at least $2500 for the 
jobfair.


3.) Shirts  
----------
We will be selling short-sleeves for $8, and long-sleeves for $10.  They are 
sorted into sizes, so please keep them in order.


3.5) Introductions
------------------
Highlights: Eric grew a goatee over the summer.  Nchen is now a history major.
Chan got pity applause.  Mimi spent her summer endagering the lives of many 
Sobay drivers and pedestrians.

4.5) Alumni Appreciation Dinner
-------------------------------
Unless someone objects, the setup will be the same as last semester: TGIF, HKN 
will cover a set amount for each meal, and each person must pay the excess if 
they go over that amount.  Rupert proposed one night between Monday and 
Thursday during the second week of September.  He will talk to the alumni to 
see which nights work best.  


5.) OM time
-----------
# of people with schedule conflicts:
	| M   Tu   W   Th	  
-------------------------	  
5-5:30	| 3  lots  6   7	  
5:30-6	| 1    5   4   3	  
6-6:30	| 2    4   2   2	  
6:30-7	| 2    2   2   2	  
7-7:30	| 0    2   2   0

From now on, OMs will be Mondays 7pm in one of the classrooms across from the 
Cory office.  Except for next week, when the OM will be Thursday 7pm, because 
Monday is a holiday.

Garcia is the cause of too many schedule conflicts. He will have to be dealt 
with.

6. Retreat
----------
$25/person, pay Kun.  That's $3/meal, TC Garden cheap! (No Mimi, we're not 
really getting TC Garden.)

Bring sleeping bags, since there's only 4 bdrms and thus not that much bed 
space.  Bring swimsuits, for the spa and lake.  Act, remember 1 vegetarian.
