EFS Conference Oct. 21st-23rd --Portland 
Early registration due 9/10/04, though, registration will still be
possible after the 10th.  CASL\'s abstract was selected for a panel
on student-run sustainability organizations.  The presentation
sub-committee will meet at 6:00 pm, Wed. the 15th at the Maitreya
Ecovillage (tentative time and location).

The CCDC
The vacated Child Care Development Center was suggested as a possible
site for the CASL house.  The fate of the facility is still up in the
air.  However, there are questions regarding how CASL will fulfill the
land use requirements of this location.  The nearby ROTC may provide
useful insight into how student organizations can fit into the scheme
of the area.

Revisiting meeting method  
Will probably be discussed at the next meeting.

Thanks and praises to all who attended, all who were there in spirit,
and Bob\'s wonderfully hospitable household for providing location and
treats.
