Following Meeting: Thursday, April 7th
Committee responsibilities:

Committee discussion:
Evaluation of Fall Semester Social:
Menu – A lot of positive feedback on the food
Minor issues with eating wear at one station
Major issue with orderliness of social attendees:
Probably caused by our allowing retirees and office staff to get food early
Prevented the start of the meeting for about 40mins
Décor – was great
I think we did a very good job to provide an enjoyable event
Ways to address the food delivery to the office staff and the orderliness of the event
In the bulletin we can instruct everyone to be seated and wait for the president to open
We should have office personnel to sit at one table and have Dr. Capps release them to get food first
We can also place signs at the doors which can be taken down after Dr. Capps opens
