Garbage in the SBA office
Do not throw away garbage that could become smelly or any mixed recycling in the office garbage can. These items should be discarded in the hallway garbage can and recycling bins that are collected regularly (the cleaning staff cannot access the SBA office for regular cleaning).
If there is no lining inside of the garbage, you should tell the exec team that we need to order more liners and use the garbage cans that are outside of the office.
If you notice the garbage can is full, please take it out to one of the garbage bins and replace the liner.

Who is helping:
Ian – Set up
Samme – All day
Erin – Sign in, photos during event
Alicia – all day
Ciara – set up
Elsa – will help with the set up/sign in process and throughout the day
I will bring my golf clubs so if any students did not want to sign up for the tournament but still want to go to the range and hit for a bit while the tournament goes on they can join me.
Students would have to bring their own clubs to participate, the range spots are not able to be reserved, and there will not be any "pro," but I can try to answer any golf 101 questions someone would have.
Additional Fundraising Idea: For those who are not taking part in the tournament but want to join at the range, can we ask for a free will donation (e.g., not mandatory nor does it need to be a large amount, but would be another way to fundraise)
Ethan Idea – Cheap set of clubs? Help people learn?
Graham will give his clubs to help learn.
