Old business:

Membership is not sufficient to vote on By Laws, Constitution and
officers. Robert agreed to get membership forms to new students 
and have them readily available to anyone who is interested in 
joining. 

It was discussed by group to have a membership drive in January. 
We would have tables at the break areas to have visibility and tell 
other students what we have planned and how joining the organization 
would benefit their careers. Increased membership will help meet the 
goal of voting on chapter business by February 2007.

It was explained that all "raised funds" are allocated as follows: 
50% to the NAVTA LT Student Chapter and 50% to a non-profit 
organization in animal welfare.

New business:

Where do we go from here? Since there has been a not-so-favorable 
opinion by students of this chapter, how do we meet the needs of the 
students while providing a program that reaches out into the community. 

Ideas that were discussed for immediate action:

Bake sale for November 
Blanket, towel, and toy drive for the AHS or other shelter

Volunteer opportunities in the community for future months:

Arizona Humane Society Second Chance Hospital 
CABRA (Coalition of All Breed Rescue of AZ) vaccination and microchip clinic 
Sun Valley Animal Shelter volunteer project 
AAWL volunteer project 
Maricopa County Animal Care and Control Spay Days 
Emergency Animal Clinics-public

Jamie asked for a list of organizations that needed volunteers. Suzanne 
agreed to compile a list and make it available to all students in the 
VT program. 

It was decided that we would start the donation drive for the Holiday 
Shelter Drive asap. 

Meeting was adjourned at 7:58 am.
