President Hatteberg

The Weather Radio Programming Event with the NWA is Saturday, April 24^th from 9:00 am to 1:00pm at the East HyVee in Ames and the Ankeny HyVee. The NWA only wanted one or two students per slot, so spots are currently full. Rachel will send out an email if students are needed.

Vice President Hoffman

Great job Tyler with the VEISHEA table! It was a big success, so thank you to everyone that stopped by or donated time to help out! The LAS really enjoys what we do with our table, so keep up the good work!

Spring t-shirts will be $12.50 per shirt, so please pay Justin as soon as possible! We should get the shirts in the next week or so. They will be here before school.s out for summer.

The Alumni Contact List has been updated! Check it out in 3008 or on the AMS website! A lot of alumni were excited to see we were updating it, and our alumni have some very interesting jobs. Please check it out to find out more about our alumni!

Senior Breakfast will be Saturday, May 8^th at 9:00am in the 2^nd floor commons of Agronomy. Seniors are allowed to invite family and friends. Matt will be sending out emails with more information.

What.s the best thing to be taking home this summer?? An Iowa State Meteorology window cling! These are still $5 and can be purchased from any cabinet member.

Treasurer Wittrock

Our current balance is $8,439.23, but will likely go down to around $6,000 after we pay off calendars and NWA Conference fees.

Please pay broomball dues! They are $5 per person and need to be paid before the end of the semester.

Secretary Minniear

The ISU Weather Radio Programming Event had about 15 faculty and staff show up. We decided this is not a bad turnout for the first year and will hold another one next year. Thanks to all who helped!

Social Chair Witter

Once again, dues for broomball are $5 per person, so please pay dues if you played in any game.

The next social event will be a Bowling Night at Perfect Games in West Ames on Friday April 23^rd at 7:00pm. We will meet in the Agron parking lot at 6:45 to head out. It will be around $7 for shoes and a couple games.

The Spring Picnic will be Sunday, April 25^th from 1:00-3:00pm at Innis Grove Park. We will meet for rides at 12:45pm in the Agron parking lot. Please sign-up to bring food if you have not already! Email social.isuams@iastate.edu if you forgot what you are supposed to bring or would like to add something to the list. Also, sign-up for burgers, brats, or hot dogs (provided by AMS!). Email Rachael if you could not sign up at meeting but are attending the picnic.

***If weather does not cooperate, it will be rescheduled for Saturday, May 1^st at noon.

There will be a .pick-up. game of volleyball on Tuesday at 6:30 or 7pm at the ISU sand volleyball courts. Dave Flory requested this, and it should be a lot of fun!

Academic Chair Rabideau

Poster Contest winners were selected last week. Sorry for those who could not make the meeting, but we needed to get it done before the meeting. The K-3 group had a winner and runner-up. The 4-6 grades group had a winner and two runner-ups. The runner ups will receive a calendar, window cling, and certificate while the winners will receive those items and a weather radio.

Please send your review session leaders your final exam dates ASAP!

We will be doing a talk for the first graders at Walnut Hills Elementary on April 29^th at 9am. It will be an hour long talk answering questions the students submitted.

The Meeker Science Night went really well last week. Thank you to all that helped!

Spring Fury is Saturday, April 24^th from 9:00am-3:00pm. This is unfortunately the same time as NWA weather radio programming event, but we do have enough people to volunteer. We will be showing off the virtual tornado and talking about storm structure. Police, firefighters, and emergency managers will be there. Please email Liz if you would like to help out.

The photos for the 2010-2011 ISU AMS Calendar have been chosen. They will be posted on the website and sent out via email soon. We will likely use CopyWorks this year because they will do full bleed (not leave a white space around the outside of the picture) and do not require a minimum order .
