Overall
we made $98 at the car wash, but after donations from Econ professors, we raked
in about $300. The possibility of another car wash in the spring was
mentioned if there is a need for fundraising for the trip.
- Econ Class Help List -
During
Monday's meeting a list was passed around asking what past and current Econ
classes students have/had, your name, major(s) and minor(s), and e-mail address.
The goal is get a help link on the Econ Club website (http://www.wku.edu/Dept/Org/Student/EconClub/) so that if you
need help with an Econ problem you can get in contact with another member to
help figure things out. If you weren't at the meeting please email your
information to Eric Mudd (ericmudd_81@yahoo.com), our
website designer.
- T-Shirts -
The
consensus of members seemed to favor T-shirts over polo's. The most
popular idea so far is making a top 10 list of "why not to be an Econ
major" or "why not to be an Economist" (for non-econ majors in
the club). We'd like to make the top 10 reasons specific to Western, such
as "3. Because Dr. Pulsinelli
will want to hold hands and sing Kumbaya."
We are asking for all Econ club members to try to come up with 1 or 2 reasons
and e-mail them to Lisa Johnson (lisa.johnson@wku.edu),
who's taking care of T-Shirts and pricing.
- Vandy Trip -
As
I'm sure you've all noticed the e-mails about the trip to Vandy
to visit the graduate economics program. We'll be taking the trip on
Friday the 18th. Most likely this would be school excused, so ask your
teacher if you want to go, but have to miss class to do so. For those who
do go, please dress up a little bit (Khaki's, button-up shirt, ect.). In the past we've
gone out to eat somewhere down in
- Social Event -
Our
next social is Wednesday, November 16th at 9PM. Instead of a typical outing to Puerta's or going bowling, Paige Barnsfather
is going to prepare a mystery dinner party. You should have already
received an e-mail with further details.
Please let Paige (ashley.barnsfather@wku.edu)
know if you'll be able to attend!
- Spring Trip -
The
cost of going to NYC is most likely going to cost over $100 more for each
person, compared to visiting D.C. due to airfare. Please think about
this, and whether or not the pricing difference is going to have an affect on
you going on the trip. We'll need to eventually take a poll and find out
what's going to work out best and make the most people happy. Most people
at the meeting seemed to still want to go to NYC. Please e-mail Ashley (ashley.schonhoff@wku.edu) if you
weren’t at the meeting and let her know which you would prefer considering
cost. If too many people won’t be able
to go to NYC, we’ll probably pick D.C. instead.
- Fundraisers -
If
you’re selling cheesecakes and would like a visual, Dr. Trawick
has copies of what the look like in her office.
Don’t forget that those forms and money for cheesecakes are due this
Friday!! The calendars will be sold
until they’re gone. Please take the
opportunity to sell calendars and cheesecakes to help raise money for the trip. Remember, the more you sell, the more it
directly helps with the cost of your trip expenses.
