Matthias Podzuhn is now working at F&M Bank in downtown Hagerstown as the second part of his year abroad. We will need to fill the Treasurer position also. We will consider him to be an honorary member of this club.
Karin De La Cruz brought in her youngest sister (Laura) and then her parents to the meeting. Katie Dunn is to look into our joining with the Science Club on their trip to New York. We decided on who would fill the remaining empty slots in our officer roster. Yomi will also be Vice President and Karin will also be Treasurer.
Brian had made up a few new things for our hall bulletin board and started to put them up. We started making rudimentary plans for a Foreign Language Day one day in mid-March. Few members attended this meeting.
We are rescheduling the Hispanic restaurant trip to the second Friday in April. Brian Simmons proposed a joint trip with the Art Club to Norfolk/Virginia Beach for Friday, 21 May and Saturday 22 May. The Art Club now has two drivers. We may help with the child care center. We will have Foreign Language Day next Wednesday, 17 March. So far, Matthias Podzuhn has agreed to speak.
Vice President/Secretary Abayomi Adeshina and Emeka May-Nzeribe spoke on Nigeria. Matthias Podzuhn came back to speak about Germany. It was informal, as there were not many there, and questions were asked after each speech. We did not have exotic food, though the Human Service Club sold food that day up in CLR Building anyway. The room (CLR 107) was used for lunching between 11 am and 1 pm, though our lectures began at 11:30 am.
Professor Angle made it official: she will not be the sponsor of the club next year.
No other country that Brian Simmons has contacted has sent stuff. He will now try easier countries to accompany Iceland's stuff: the Bahamas and Brazil. The May 21/22 is an overnight trip--2 nights? We hope to go to Virginia Beach, with those interested going into Norfolk to the Chrysler Museum one day. Our driver, Cindy Digulimio, also is interested in the Edgar Cayce Museum in Va. Beach. (He was an early 20th Century psychic healer.) Katie and Karin expressed some interest in that. Cindy and Brian would like to stop in Richmond, VA for a museum or two on the return, but that could be a half day in Va. Beach. For overnight trips, we need a chaperone. We can not get Prof. Angle out of graduation.... Brian Simmons' travel agent is looking into accomodations, as is Cindy. Any profit--what we charge on the trip--can be put into earned income which carries over, and all costs of the trip can be taken from the $500+ in the travel [sub]budget, which will not be carried over. This is what Mr. Cole suggested the Art Club do for the NYC Trip, so it allowable.
We went in the fifteen passenger van (club van). We left here (HCC, by the greenhouse) at 7:05.
We had five for the dance. Attending were: Karin De La Cruz, Han Xiao, and Brian Simmons, and Art Club members Walter Gostowski and Cindy Digulimio, who was nice enough to drive us there and back in the college club van.
The Dominican restaurant dinner part was called off until another time. We were invited at the Mount's International Dance to Wilson College's International Dinner on Saturday, 17 April.
Yomi Adeshina is now president.
The club sponsored the trip up to Wilson College in Chambersburg, Penna. to their International Dinner. Professor Angle and Brian Simmons attended from the club. Walter Gostowski, from the Art Club, and five members of Professor Angle's classes went also. The club will reimburse the expenses incurred. It was $4 for students for this buffet-style meal, served by many of the club members in traditional native costumes. The only drawback is that we were dead last in getting to go up to the buffet line, waiting nearly an hour after arriving, because of our table number. There was plenty of food left--for seconds and thirds also. There was a poetry reading during the meal. Everyone who went was quite pleased, and it is recommended as a future (Fall 1999) outing for our club.
*****Other Active MEMBERS: ° De La Cruz, Liz ° Harbaugh, Jennifer ° Heredia, Michelle
We also confirmed that we would pay for the tickets for the Wilson College International Dinner.
Brian briefed her on current club events, and Professor Angle turned over her box of accumulated I-Club items.
Professor Terrie Angle will help "ease" her into the role, and will be available for the
club in an unofficial capacity. We will still meet in "her" classroom.
Lodging was at: The Flagship Motel, Atlantic Avenue and 6th.
Heated swimming pool, sundeck on top of building, refrigerators in each room, across from beach and Boardwalk.
A microwave was placed in all three rooms.
* $3 with a Student ID
Also proposed, but not done: "Splendors of Egypt" Exhibit at the Virginia Fine Arts Museum, Richmond, Virginia, either on our way down or on our way back. This was the only time it was in America and it might have been worth it. It was $15 to get into the special exhibit; much less to just tool around the other parts of the museum.
We went from Robinwood Drive (HCC) to Edgewood Road to U.S. 40 to I-70 to I-81 to U.S. 17 to I-66 to VA 234 bypass to VA 619 to I-95, where we stopped at a Waffle House. We went down I-95 and picked up U.S. 17 again to I-64 to VA 44 to Pacific Avenue to 5th Street to Atlantic Avenue to the Flagship Motel.
The Motel was nice. The bill came to $451.50.
On Saturday Evening, Cindy and Brian went out for barbecue and then headed down to Sandbridge, VA to gawk at pricey beach houses. They filled up the minivan to almost full. Brian paid $15.01 for that. (It got us all the way home.) NOTE: The below cost included only transportation and lodging. Food and any museum fees were extra. Brian submitted the form to Lois Sarno the Monday after they returned. =>Bottom Line: The I-Club blew $395.92 of Travel money we would "lose" come 30 June to make $206.41 for our Earned Income, which we do get to keep from year to year.
Brian did bike to the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art Saturday and saw glass art installation pieces by Dale Culhilly. Cindy went to the Marine Science Museum. Brian and Cindy both went to the Edgar Cayce Research Center (Brian twice). Neither ever got tested for psychic powers. The weather was gorgeous, except for a late evening thunderstorm Saturday.
Katie and her two friends didn't want to go to the Chrysler Museum on Sunday, and Cindy also waivered, so the group headed home a bit early, after eating at a buffet brunch together in Virginia Beach. We came back by: VA 44 to I-64 to I-295 to I-95 to U.S. 17 to I-81 to I-70 to U.S. 40 to Edgewood Road to Robinwood Drive, getting back around 4:45 pm Sunday.
We had Katie and Cindy at the club rate: $28, two at the other student rate: $38, one at the sponsor's/other's rate (Frances Cain): $40, and Brian:
=>The trip TOTAL cost was $465.51 ($451.50 + $15.01).
=>We had in our COMBINED travel $395.92.
=>That left $70.59 Brian already paid and was NOT reimbursed by the club.
=>Brian agreed to pay $105.00 to go. As Brian was the only guy on the trip, it was good to have separate-gender rooms anyway.
=>Therefore, as soon as the check arrived from HCC to pay Brian off, he deposited $34.41 by check into the I-Club Earned Income account, the difference of what he already paid and what he agreed to pay.
