If the shirts are successful for a fundraiser, the SAAC will look to sell them at the athletics BBQs, home sporting events, and the Family and Friends Weekend tailgates in the future. JPEG designs are due by the next meeting on September 18.

Crew memorabilia and an art silent auction will be held throughout the weekend, beginning on Saturday night and closing at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday. On Sunday, the MHC community is invited to the Alumnae/Friends Row at 9:00 a.m., brunch at the boathouse at 11:00 am ($15), and the christening of the new boat, “Friends of Rowing” at 12:15 to honor the program’s 35 years of success. Registration is online at

  1. Request for Two SGA Liaisons

Being involved with the Student Government Association allows the SAAC to have funding as a student organization, to have a voice on campus, and to vote on pertinent topics of the student government. Ms. Chancy requested that representatives explain to their teams the importance of the position of liaison and ask for two volunteers. The liaisons cannot be current SAAC representatives. The meetings that the new liaisons will attend are held every Tuesday from 7:30-9 p.m. in a location that has yet to be determined. After each SGA meeting, one liaison will need to attend the following SAAC meeting to update the representatives about what was discussed at the most recent SGA meeting.

  1. Subcommittees Meet

For approximately twenty minutes, subcommittees met to discuss, refresh, and re-evaluate their goals for the 2011-2012 academic year. The subcommittee chairs were asked to prepare an update for the entire SAAC for the next meeting on September 18.
