Old business:

• Coordinator search – waiting for more information from Beth Schloika after the  meeting in Albany 2/22-23 – about faculty coordinators and training schedule.

• Weather prevented the two Shelly’s from attending Committee Training on 2/5/07.  Brenda will copy her Committee Training booklet to distribute to Committee.

Programming:

·         For Spring:  scrapbooking with Purdy’s, Dancing with Tanna Olin, cooking with Mike Cali from the Foundry, knitting with the Knitting Center downtown, container gardening with Mary DePentu.  Brenda will give us dates once everything is set.  Programming will likely begin the week after Spring break.

·         Shelly reported that “The Biggest Loser”  Program enrolled many more than anticipated – over 38 teams!  Gyms are free on Fridays during college hour. 

·         For Summer:  fitness & walking.  See www.creativewalking.com  Discussion about Weight Watchers and not enough interest to arrange a group on campus.

·         For Fall:  cell phone how to’s (generic) by Verizon, technology theme, thyroid with Dr. VanGorder, Thanksgiving flower arrangement by Mr. John’s (but no pumpkins)

New business:
