COCA March 22nd, 2011 Minutes

MEETING MINUTES 3/22/11

In Attendance: Kalei, Emily, Sarah, Faustino, Josh, Nina, Subhanu, Peter, Sam, Nora.

Visiting: Angus from VIBE (ad10@hampshire.edu)

Angus is visiting to discuss the April 1st VIBE event request (a show in Saga). They have raised money for one event monitor ($60), and need another $60. This falls into the category of "cheap enough and contract-less", so we can approve an additional $60 for the event regardless of the two-week rule.

We have $7686 left for the semester, and ~$1500 for the night.
