Thursday, October 23rd is the Wine and Cheese Festival in Hartford, which needs volunteers—several student ambassadors volunteered already—to sign up, e-mail the office

We are hoping to attend a UNICEF International conference in New York City on November 19th. This may become an overnight trip, given the time we would need to leave Storrs in order to be at the conference early enough.

At this point, we went into action planning.
- The group working with the FYE class will be having their presentation this Tuesday.
- The group working with Mansfield Middle School is hoping to begin their presentations this coming week.

There will be NO MEETING on October 23rd.

For the next meeting (October 16th), start brainstorming other projects for this semester or next semester, as we will be looking for something else to take on now that action planning projects will be underway.

Also at the next meeting, we will welcome new student ambassadors for the 2008-2009 academic year.
