Treasurer (Sarah):
• Has gone through all refunds from last week. Almost all done, will be completely done in the next couple weeks.
• Would like to suggest two amendments to budget protocol: Would like to combine yearbook and ASCIT dues because there is no one in charge of the yearbook money and yearbook spends more than they receive from dues. Would also like to raise ASCIT dues by a small amount to help cover yearbook deficit.
• Yearbook needs Adobe Creative Cloud, which costs $100/month. Unsure if they can get access to yearbook bank account so ASCIT may need to cover it.
Social Director (Alice):
• Movie night was last Friday. Turnout was about 325, which was higher than expected.
• Meeting with administration next Tuesday to determine future interhouse dates.
• Marsh Fund meeting next week to see if we can get funding for amusement park event.
