Committee Reports
No one had committee reports at this time.
Old Business
A question was raised as to whether we had decided on how to support the Survival Adult Abuse Center Capitol funds campaign. A discussion was had centering on how much we might want to give out of the funds we have; how to challenge others across campus to support this campaign; and the need to encourage all support staff to make an annual donation or continuous payroll deduction to either the SSC Foundation designation from which we are able to provide assistance to the Survival Adult Abuse Center or the SSC Educational Award Foundation designation.
Consensus was that we could contribute $1,000.00 pending Survival House Committee approval. Further discussion on a challenge and individual support will be put on the August agenda.
New Business
Brenda suggested we need to work on our goals for 2010-2011. Cindy said she would work on the goals based on previous goals and have for discussion at the August meeting.
Brenda also mentioned Beth Rutt's request for information from SSC to be printed in a "back to school" publication she puts out for fall term. After the meeting, Cindy volunteered to help Brenda out by doing this for her.
Peggy Harrison read a card and note from Trish Hubbard, our first Outstanding Support Staff Award winner.
