• Operations Committee
  • Garden article is on Ashdown Garden Facebook page. It’s not an Ashdown resident, so we do not need to take it any further. Check out the Garden Facebook page. It’s up! Brunch chair has the Costco cashback card. TV room seems to have a rat problem: cables have been chewed through. Buy new cables and put some traps down. Aditya will be the proxy for Xueying (probably for the next 6 weeks). August 18th and 19th help run a conference? Outside of normal Ashdown duties, but those who want to help will be paid. Need to know tech stuff.
• Communities Committee:
  • Committee meeting last week. Floor officers are making FB groups! Interest groups: Haluk is promoting it. TEEC representative is planning to rent out the Thirsty for all officers. Purchasing yoga mat and ball for the gym. New Arts Officer wants to put creative writing into the newsletter.
• Events Committee
  • July 4th: haven’t received funding from LEF, yet, but they said within the next week. Went well! Isabella Gardner Museum Tour: 22-25 showed up. Had a tour guide. Went well! Revere Beach Sand Sculpture on the 22, and Game of Thrones next weekend. Open up the Thirsty for the GoT finale? Nicole is currently the rep for the Thirsty, but she shouldn’t also be the rep for Ashdown. Would like someone else from AHEC to be the rep.
• Fall Leadership Retreat
  • No dates that work for more than 5 people (AHEC + committee chairs). Organize it here at Ashdown instead? Try again in the fall when everyone is back.
• Open Floor
  • GradRat funding for brunches was $250/brunch and $350/Orientation Brunch last year. It seems like we’re getting a bit less this year. Maybe check this out. Meeting adjourned.
