§ Connie Schuster had an idea related to teams
o Take a number of playing card decks, paint the UWO logo on the back of all the decks (one big logo made from all the cards).
o Create teams based on cards (2’s are a team, 3’s area a team, etc.)
o End of the day all cards get collected and we try to re-assemble the logo.
o Prize for the team with the most cards turned in.
o If someone goes back to work they should turn their card into the team leader.

OLD CSAC BUSINESS
· Bon Jovi raffle Tom Thorton (bought ticket from Paulette) was the winner, proceeds were about $500
· Volunteer Opportunity Red circulated a spreadsheet via email just before the meeting. Please choose your top three and add them to the spreadsheet then send it on. WaterFest was mentioned, but that is more of a fundraiser than a volunteer activity. The Fund Raising committee will take a look at that. Red suggested that everyone fill out the sheet and return it to her. She will tabulate and announce top three.

NEW BUSINESS
· Regarding the volunteer opportunities, Red proposed making a button that we would wear to “advertise” the CSAC. It’s the CSAC logo with the word “member” stamped across the front. Cindy suggested using the word “volunteer” rather than member since the CSAC will be facilitating the opportunity but all Classified Staff will be encouraged to assist.
· Chancellor Wells is seeking volunteers for Fall Fest. Set up, prepare food, take down, etc.
· There was some “issue” with the appointment of Jim Strey at our last meeting so Holly Lawryk reworked the CSAC Representation form and sent it out. Everyone acknowledged receiving a copy.
· U-Plan is this afternoon, anyone is welcome to attend. Dan Hoyt will be the CSAC representative.

“ROUND ROBIN” (other University business of interest to CSAC)
· AnnMarie brought up a point of discussion that came out of the last SAS meeting. According to the Wisconsin Open Records law, we need to publish our meeting time and dates as well as all sub-committee meetings. Further, any email sent regarding our committees are considered ‘official business’ and as such cannot be deleted. Red will see if Frank Church can attend our next meeting and explain the requirements so all committee members and sub-committee chairs are aware.

NEXT CSAC MEETING: Wednesday, October 12, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. in Dempsey 212.

Motion to adjourn at 2:17 by Cindy Schultz, second by Evelyn Meuret
