Thomas' Meeting Minutes
Organizing Meeting (3/1):


1. Media Policy
2. Vision Statement
3. Committees
4. Agenda for Next Meeting

1. Media Policy
- There will be a city-wide Tent State meeting. The meeting is planned for Monday, March 5 at 6:00 @ the Student Org Center in the Coeur de Catherine (CdC) on the College of St. Catherine campus
- ideas for media policy would be St. Kate's idea of having a Sock Puppet as the President or Dean of Tent State
- have a few liaisons that people would direct media to, there would need to be trainings for this
- the liaisons could also talk through the puppet

2. Vision Statement
- we need a vision statement that is specific to the climate at St. Thomas
- it can be a short "call to action/about Tent State" that we can present to groups on campus that we want to get involved
- X and X were going to draft and email a copy of the Vision statement. Everyone should look over it and add any suggestions or make any changes to it
- Vision Statement will be brought to the meeting next week, and we can pass it as a group

3. Committees
- we will need committees to break up the work that will need to get done
- people aren't pigeonholed to a specific committee, but we will need people to bottom-line projects
- if there are any suggestions to add, alter, or delete committees, send them to the group
This is what we came up with so far
 i)   liaisons: coordinating with other campuses, going to city-wide meetings, dealing with media
 ii)  events committee: contact person for other clubs, coordinating schedule for all of the events
 iii) logistics: getting tents, food, PA/speakers, etc.
 iv)  outreach: promotion (flyers, banners, posters, chalking), contacting
other groups on ACTC campuses, and community orgs
 v)   administration: looking into getting approval, etc.

4. Non-Education Events
- need events that are not all about learning and education
- get music dept, radio club, and theater involved
- have a water balloon fight between college democrats and republicans
 - add an anti-authoritarian/@-political column to the fray
- challenge the administration to a water balloon fight

5. Agenda for next meeting (email me if you want to add anything)
- A Tent Stater will facilitate, does anyone want to take notes?
 1. Vision Statement: draft will be presented, discussion/last minute changes
 2. Administration Discussion: whether we should seek approval or not
 3. Tasks: what do we need to do for Tent State to happen?
 4. Committees: assign tasks to committees and persons
 5. Meeting times: discuss how the Wed. meetings work, whether we need more time, and when committees will meet
