Old Business:

 

  1. Newsletter/Website/Outreach Efforts – Lori Minor is working on the newsletter and she will have an update next meeting.  Looking at possibly sending out the newsletter by July 28th.  Decided to put the information about dues and coming to the meetings in the newsletter, instead of calling members on the list.
  2. Treasurer’s report:  Tabled to next meeting, treasurer could not make the meeting.
  3. Honors banquet was a success, looking to do it again next year co-jointly with the other 2 honor societies.  Also, Muriel said she enjoyed it and she was a new inductee and she felt it was done nicely.  President Lisa Prosser said this year we made money on the event and treasurer will give us the total amount next meeting.
  4. Reminder

 

    1. The ASPA dinner has been changed to June 11th @ 6 p.m. in the LSU ballroom – PAA purchased a table so everyone needs to pay before May 27th through PAA, $50 each.  Synthia Lee donated her seats to Lori Minor and Glenn Heald.
    2. The cost of the table has been lowered to $450 so those that paid at the higher rate had the option of receiving a refund or donating their $5. So far everyone chose to donate his or her $5.

 

New Business:

 

  1. PAA table for the ASPA dinner has 2 more seats available, 1 from Dr. Baxter, so Muriel and Deidre will get the tickets for the event.

 

  1. Lifetime membership, looking at creating a lifetime certificate and pin.  Dr. Baxter said she would ask the department secretary, Lori, to see about making one on her spare time (as long as we don’t pressure her)

 

  1. Gave Deidre, Secretary, the PAA membership cards to hold.

 

  1. Next Meeting:  Will be held on June 9th at 6:00 pm at Tony Roma’s at the Carson Mall.

 

  1. Meeting Adjourned at 6:48 p.m.
