Discussed the purpose and guidelines for the "Rainy Day" Fund.  Reviewed comments from Staff Council minutes of 1/22/98 and 2/25/03 regarding the guidelines for the Rainy Day Fund.  According to past minutes, the current Rainy Day Fund Committee members are:  Diane Reid, Lillian Yeager and Vickie Jenson.  Trudy Walter volunteered to replace Vickie Jenson on this committee due to her retirement from IUS.  Further discussions on this topic were tabled until the next Staff Council meeting on 2/15/05.  Information will be gathered from Lillian Yeager regarding her thoughts on this fund.    

 

Discussed donations for Dr. Linda Brengle's upcoming memorial on Friday, January 21, 2005.  In lieu of a donation from Staff Council, personal donations are encouraged.

 

Discussed the upcoming Staff Council Style Show.  The style show will be held on April 15, 2005 in the Hoosier Room.  The theme for this year's event is "Southwest Fashion Fiesta".  Door prizes need to be sourced at the present time.  63 door prizes were secured last year.  Janie Loney will provide a complete listing of door prize donors for the next Staff Council meeting on 2/15/05.  We are planning on securing clothing from Priddy's, Dillard's and Sam Meyer's.  Also, will follow-up with SUP to secure their services for this year's event.  The Style Show Committee members are:  Diana Holman, Lisa Ruddell, Rebecca Beardsley, Janie Loney and Kathleen Norvell.  Bev Biggs, staff retiree, has also volunteered her services.  36 to 38 outfits were featured last year.  Suggested using the buddy system on picking out clothing.  Comments were made that it was extremely helpful to have someone do "hair" the day of the event.  Suggestions for decorations are being solicited – e-mail Janie.  Anticipate that tickets will remain at $12.00 per person.  Kim Draughn donated a large skull with horns for the event.  Janie Loney urged fellow staff members to volunteer to help with this event.
