Foodlums Minutes 1/28/2011

Pre- Foodlums 3 o'clock discussion

Glitter and Cats room-
The meeting started with a discussion about the cats and glitter room
Briana entered with snow glimmering in her hair and our all-knowing president Tehya immediately jumped to the conclusion that she had come from the glitter room-- you know, the one located just around the corner in the secret hall of Phillips. The glitter room was revealed to also be filled with cats. So it is more properly known as the "Cats and Glitter Room".

Official Meeting Discussion

BOB (Blugold Organization Bash)
- This coming Wednesday 11-2 in Council Fire Room
- Please come for any amount of time you have available during this time frame so we can let others know about what an awesome group foodlums is!
-Tehya is picking up some cheese curds and bread to lure in cool people.

Beekeeping Workshop
- The Beekeeping workshop we received Green fund money to attend is Saturday February 5th and is put on by the Dunn County Beekeepers in Menomonie.
- Foodlums has sent in registration for three members to attend. The people at the meeting who were nominated to attend were Dane, Tehya, and Erin, however Chris has been reported to be extremely eager to attend as well, so there will be a pancake flipping competition this weekend among the four possible attendees to determine who our three primary beekeeping-knowledge-holders will be. If you are interested in competing in the flip-off for a spot in the workshop, please e-mail tehya (ricetm@uwec.edu)

Portable Shed
- Foodlums were also awarded money from the green fund for a shed to keep gardening supplies.
- It was decided that foodlums would look at menards selection
- Another idea was to find someone looking for experience in building to build the shed. An e-mail was sent to CVTC suggesting the project as an opportunity for a student in their wood technics program to gain more experience.

Cambodia Stories
-Emilie arrived and told everyone about her and Chris's experience in Cambodia over winter break.
-Stories included themes such as illegal banana plantations, a birthday cake baked in a jungle-made oven, a thrilling tractor ride, monks, and machetes.
- A night full of Cambodian food and pictures was demanded of Emilie. Stay tuned in for more details on this fantastic event. h

Fish Fry
- Chris and Zac are going to a fish fry next Friday, February 4th.
- Rides will be coordinated for those who are interested in attending.
- Fish fry does cost $9, but features three different kinds of fish! AWESOME!
- e-mail Zac at barneszj@gmail.com if you are interested.

Ice Fishing
-On the topic of fish, there was some discussion of ice fishing.
- A lot of foodlums were interested, but no motion was made to organize an ice fishing expedition.

Weavers
- Weavers-- a store featuring a variety of bulk foods just past Fall Creek-- came into conversation
- Foodlums decided to make a voyage of it on Saturday morning (tomorrow), leaving Eau Claire at eight in order to be the first ones in the store for their 8:30 opening.
-Two cars are going and we have one seat that hasn't been spoken for yet, so if you are enthused by the prospect of bulk foods and $2/dozen organic eggs, e-mail Briana (odegarbn@uwec.edu).
