2. Fridge (Eric)
----------------
EJC is willing to fund $350 for fridge (~$500 for the fridge Eric was 
looking into)

Should we get the fridge?  Where would the fridge go?  A discussion 
about the rearrangement of furniture in the Soda office ensued.

Pros:
	Having a fridge would help Act very much.
Cons:
	takes away space from examfiles cabinet, possibly more clutter in 
	the office

. Need to ask UPE and tell them about proposed office arrangement. (Mimi 
  already did)
. Perhaps share the fridge with UPE?
. Need to ask Jo Davis if it's okay.

-> Officers voted for the Fridge.


3. EJC Dunk Tank + BBQ (Rupert)
-------------------------------
Sign-up to volunteer for the dunk tank!

Need more people to help assemble the dunk tank in the morning, please 
talk to Rupert if you can.

Food
. BBQ needs approval from the fire marshall and EHS.  This requires 
  a 1 week notice
. Other suggestions: Sandwiches?
. Eventually settled on a load of junk food.

EJC Barbeque:
. EJC needs grills...
. Kevin Wang has one.
. Is HKN interested in vegetable items like veggie skewers?  No!

          their willingness to help others, and return to the community

	  run-off, the format of which shall be determined by the 
	  presiding officer at his or her discretion."
