APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Cindy Schultz made a motion to approve the June minutes; Dan Hoyt seconded the motion; June 8, 2005 minutes approved by consensus.

TREASURER’S REPORT
The year ended with a balance of $152.13. Jean will show Jill what steps need to be taken to roll the remaining balance into the new fiscal year.

CHAIR’S REPORT
U-Plan Jill reported that the last meeting centered on budget cuts, but the information has changed drastically since that meeting. Another U-Plan meeting is scheduled for today (7/13). Any council members interested in attending U-Plan meetings with Jill are encouraged to do so. Council members should let Jill know of their interest so she can let Mary Olson know who will be attending.

Chancellor Wells Several suggestions were discussed in meeting with Chancellor Wells about CSDAD. CSDAD chair Jean Bord is already looking for a motivational speaker for next year’s event.

Another suggestion was making the day shorter by possibly ending the day with an ice cream social after the afternoon session instead of doing the picnic.

The Chancellor suggested an idea on maintaining attendance by creating random teams of 10 people and having 3 4 meeting times for the teams throughout the day. Each team would be given specific “tasks” to do that they would have to work on throughout the day and would discuss at each meeting. Points would be given for having all team members present at each of the meetings. This suggestion will be discussed and fine tuned in future CSDAD committee meetings.

OLD CSAC BUSINESS
· Guest Annie Short Community Service Opportunities
Annie gave the council an overview of the types of community service projects that were available in the Oshkosh area and may be of interest to the council for participation. She will be sending Jill a survey that can be distributed to get an idea of what types of service projects members are interested in getting involved in. Once that survey has been tabulated, (Cindy Schultz volunteered to gather the data), the council will pick one or more areas to become involved in. It was agreed upon by council members that Annie’s ability to put a dollar figure on our service project will be a great marketing tool for the council as we work to get our name and goals more easily recognized.

· Bon Jovi Raffle Tickets
See the Grant Fund Raising Committee report above.

· Marketing Committee
Jill met with the co-chairs of the Marketing Committee to discuss the CSAC Newsletter. The newsletter needs one computer-literate person in charge to pull it all together. Articles will be written by others; a template is already in place; someone needs to be familiar with laying out and setting up the newsletter to plug articles and pictures into the template before printing.

Michelle Jensen may be interested in this assignment. Michelle will talk to Holly Lawryk (who has been doing this assignment in past years.) Marketing Committee co-chairs, Joan Ratchman and Carol Botz, along with Holly, are willing to help as needed.

· Goals
It was decided that once the volunteer survey from Annie Short has been distributed and tabulated, a committee will be formed to coordinate any volunteer opportunities the council decides to take on. It is planned that the council will use the fall semester to choose a community project to be worked on in the spring semester. A write-up will then be done for the fall newsletter.

“ROUND ROBIN” (other University business of interest to CSAC)
