Here are the notes from today's meeting. I don't usually put them on callboard but I wanted to make sure that everyone who was not at the meeting got a chance to see these notes in case they change their mind or see they missed the email sign in information. Again- if you did not give me you contact into please email it to me so I can add you to the contact list.

Introduction-
Andrea Vargas- President
Jon Klos- Vice President
Michaela Pendola- Secretary
Tyler-Lynn Tavares- Treasurer

Discussion:

• ALWAYS CHECK CALLBOARD! Eat. Sleep. Breathe. Callboard.
• There will now be a calendar in the bulletin board in the lounge outside of the little theatre 
• Retreat in the fall and in spring. Fall retreat on campus
• we spoke about holding the second on off campus and going to a trampoline park as a group- fundraiser?
• Meditation group? Meeting occasionally on a Wednesday during free period. Email me if this is something you would be interested in.
• Peer Workshops? Clay Thompson mentioned holding a Shakespeare workshop (or other workshops) run by peers based on information or techniques you may have learned outside of campus. example- if you went away over the summer or winter break that focused on a certain technique and you would like to share that knowledge with your peers. 
• Workshops/ people we spoke about potentially getting in touch with to bring in:
• Adam Sanders?
• Connie Crawford?
• Pat Hawkridge?
• America Project Too - Trinity Rep
• Email us if you would like to help us out by putting posters up on and off campus. This is a very helpful way of getting outside people to come in and support our department. You never know- the poster you hang could inspire someone to come see one of our productions, they could fall in love with the art, and join our program 😀
• Marisa and Michael spoke about her growing stage productions. If you have questions specific to that please email or speak to them personally about it. 
• Play writing group now run by Kate Hallal (khallal_5295@email.ric.edu)
• Play reading group now run by Jon Klos (jklos_6984@email.ric.edu)
• Improv group now run by Jon Klos

If you have any question please feel free to email me at any time. My email is mpendola_6051@email.ric.edu

We are very excited to start this year! Let's make it a good one! 

PS: A great thing that Bill Wilson said at the meeting today was about how important it is to support each other both in our concentration and the others in the department that we may not be studying with but will work closely with! It is so important to support your peers by seeing shows, recognizing what others do to make your job a little easier, and thanking people for the hard work they do! Let's always keep this is mind throughout the whole school year- and let's always be supportive of each other!!!
