Hey y’all,

Despite such critical events as the historically low solar wind and the re-election of Ilham Aliyev to the presidency of Azerbaijan, Planning Club did actually meet today at 3 PM.

Meeting Minutes are available in the Word document linked here. Among the major conclusions are the following:

FACULTY ADVISORY COMMITTEE: The school needs someone, preferably a 2nd-year student, to volunteer to serve on the committee. Nikolai Ursin served this function last year, we currently have no one on hand. E-mail Tracy *ASAP* if you are interested at tbraden@pdx.edu

SOCIAL EVENTS: Kate MacQuillan has announced an upcoming social event sometime in the next three weeks. Many voices spoke in favor of Karaoke (yay!), but no venue has been agreed upon yet (sad…).

CONFERENCE FEES: Once again, Planning Club can help re-imburse conference registration fees if you apply a few weks in advance. Go to http://planning.groups.pdx.edu/?p=45 to find out more!

BROWN BAG: work is going forward on the first one of the year on Thurday the 30th. The subject will be co-housing, with Eli Spevak speaking. Also, anyone interested in helping out with Brown Bags in the future should meet with Heidi, Nadine and Dan on that day.

WEBSITE: clearly needs some work. Daniel and Amy are responsible for this work. This should start before the next Planning Club meeting.

Work is also ongoing on other issues such as stdent access to software and technology and arranging for graphics software training.

Feel free to e-mail Daniel (dsc@pdx.edu) or Amy (amyrossa@shaw.ca) if you have any additional questions about what happened or how to get involved. We hope to see you all at the next meeting, on Monday, November 17th!

Cheers!

Here are the minutes from last Thursday’s Planning Club Meeting, which was held right before Town Hall. Some of the issues we discussed were then taken into more depth during the Town Hall itself. The rest was mostly administrative stuff. There are a few initiatives involving combined action of Planning Club and other groups being considered:

• Joint community service project with the Community Development Student Group and MURP Alumni Association, possibly for CityRepair, Friends of Trees or Habitat for Humanity
• Possible integration of the activities of PIE (Planning Includes Equity) into Planning Club

Enjoy the minutes, and feel free to comment anytime by sending an e-mail to myself (Daniel) or Brendon.

Planning Club Minutes - April 24

Hello everybody,

Due to scheduling issues, the lack of an announcement, and the lack of definitive answers to a number of issues we have been discussing, the Planning Club meeting announced for today has been re-scheduled to next Thursday, April 24th, at 1 PM (just before MURP Town Hall at 2 PM).

The meeting will be held on the second floor of the Urban Studies building. The exact room has not yet been determined.

Among the issues we will be discussing are:

- Vancouver trip
- Community service projects in conjunction with the Community Development Student Group and the MURP Alumni Association
- Issues to bring up at MURP Town Hall
- Follow-up on orientation and transition to next year

If there are any other issues you would like to bring up or discuss, please let us know by e-mailing Brendon.

Thanks,

Daniel C.

After a brief crisis which now appears to have been averted, it looks like Planning Club will be able to resume the Brown Bag Speaker Series soon, with Jason Wallace as its coordinator.  If you have any ideas for speakers this coming term, please let him know as soon as possible!

Thanks,

Daniel
