MORE social activities…. FRIDAY NIGHT – HOT DOG PARTY – Catering for the Stars… (“I Only Want the Red M & Ms…) Some discussion also, that if possible, Nov. 6-7 might be better for some students up here, as the weekend of Nov. 13-14 is often study time for second midterms given just before Thanksgiving break – but either could work…. Idea of a more well-known artist performance to help draw more students to the event. In 2006, our MEISA chapter partnered with ASUOP to bring Common to town, and the ticket was an add-on to conference registration. Last minute thought – Keynote speakers – do we need one? If we do get one, PACIFIC team suggests: **Next activity**: CPP Team to set up Google docs or Wiki we can all post and share ideas to [WELL DONE, LUKE!]; UOP to send email for Execs to Prof Kopplin – also phone numbers for Prof Hatschek; Jordin and Blythe.
 * Not reading a pre-written speech
 * Be interesting to STUDENTS
 * Connect with the audience, be charismatic
 * A speaker who is EXCITED to be there
