Washburn University Chemistry Club

The meeting began with an announcement from treasurer Nick Hill that Chem Club would like all members to pay dues. The amounts for dues are: $6 per semester, or $10 for the whole year.

Chem Club has registered for the Homecoming top hat decorating contest. David Reed is in charge of heading up the homecoming activities. Other activities include the float parade, and “yell like hell”.

Family Day is Saturday, September 27 from 9:30 – 11:15 am. Chem Club will be hosting our own event: home made ice cream. Helpers will be needed at our Club table.

More ideas were discussed concerning Chem Club T-shirts. Teresa is leading this project and will be using e-mail to gather ideas for colors, designs and themes. We will vote on colors next meeting.

Chemistry Day will be held in the Spring. Nick Hill is working with Dr. Shaver to get funding from KAS to help pay for the hospitality room.

The annual AAFS conference, for those interested in forensic science, will be held in Denver this year, and will be in the spring. ChemClub would like a list of all those interested in going so tha funds may be gathered from WSGA.

The annual KAS conference will be held at Washburn University this spring. Many helpers will be needed in order to make this event successful, and we will be coordinating with other clubs to make it happen.

Plans are being made to bring speakers to our meetings to cover a wide range of professional and educational topics. Watch your emails for details as to what speakers will be coming and when.

The publication “In Chemistry” features occasional spotlights of Chemistry Clubs from universities around the country and would like to feature our club. To make this happen, we will be needing many pictures as well as a write-up of activities and events.

We will be holding a bowling fundraiser in the spring. More information will be presented at a later time.

Further discussion of Halloween activities concluded the meeting. Possibilities we are considering include: passing out candy to the children, a haunted house in Stoffer Hall, and a magic show.

Watch your emails for the date, time and location of the next Chem Club meeting!
