5. Committee Reports:

Watch Parties:

  • The Slauson’s and Bernadette Suh are assisting to help set up the watch parties.  Suggestion to organize one tub that would have all the watch party supplies they need in order to assist (balloons, flyers, candles etc.)

  • Suggestion to make table tents for the watch parties that would have upcoming events on them as well as news of NU.

  • Discussion of present for Ed:  Steve and Lisa will check into a Nebraska polo shirt to present to Ed at the Refectory during this year’s bowl game.

  • Ed will order 4 cases of Fairbury Franks next year.  They also will be placed on the new sports food menu next year.

  • Ed stated that we most likely will get our Endowment fund raffle prize money back from Budweiser not Findlandia.  He also mentioned that next year Bud will order the items we want and they will be then mailed to either the Refectory or to the OR4NE.

 

Merchandise:

  • Roger showed a sample of the new OR4NE that is planned to be ordered for next year.

  • Will be considering offering a OR4NE polo shirt next year

 

Special Events:

  • Sandy distributed phone tree lists to board members to contact in regards to the annual Christmas party and also to announce a “last call” for joining us for the OSU vs. NU migration to Corvallis on Dec. 13th.

  • Angel will be setting up Pay Pal so that people can use this to pay for attending the Christmas party.

  • 30-35 people have signed up to participate in the Migration to Corvallis.

  • Two limos have been reserved; there is still room for approx. four more people.  Steve will send out an e-mail to chapter members offering this last opportunity to sign up. 

  • Angel will be ordering tickets for the basketball game this Monday.

 

Misc.

  • Lisa sent checks to: Husker Dan for $75.00, Salute to the Troops $25.00, $100.00 to the NAA.

  • Next year, has been suggested to revise the OR4NE membership form to allow members to indicate what they’d like included in the annual chapter directory.  Hopefully this will decrease the amount of information being entered in the database. 

 

6. Adjournment: Next meeting - Scheduled for Saturday, January 17th at Qdoba at Bridgeport Plaza.
