This is what happened at the meeting:
1. Introductions: President - Robin Waldvogel
Vice President - Vivian Yau (Thanks for bringing the snacks and drinks!)
Secretary/Treasurer - Erica Broderick

2. Description of the club:
This club is open to anyone interested in animal related professions. We offer students an opportunity for field trips, guest speakers, volunteer work, and help answering questions about the difficult tasks of preparing for graduate school.

3. Volunteer Opportunities:
This Saturday morning (October 9th) from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm the Pre-Vet Club will be conducting a Pet Therapy session at Farmington Square, the retirement home on the corner of Coburg Road and Baily Lane.  If you did not sign up at the meeting and are available to help, please contact Robin (rwaldvog@gladstone.uoregon.edu) for more information.  Include your name, phone number, and e-mail address so she can coordinate with you.

Charlene Larison mentioned that the Eugene Spay and Neuter Clinic is looking for volunteers, probably weekday mornings.  The phone number at the clinic is 682-3043 if you are interested.

4. Events:
We voted on events that we would like to see happen this year.

GUEST SPEAKER
  The summary of the presentation went out yesterday, so read that for more
information.  We signed a thank you card for Dr. Sandra Smalley for coming
to speak with us.
PRESENTATIONS
  This Friday, Nora Terwilliger will be presenting in 123 Pacific at 3:30
pm.  Professor Terwilliger is stationed at OIMB and the presentation has
been recommended by many professors this week.
Also, this Wednesday, there is a presentation on the creation and
evolution debate at 7:00 pm.  I think it is in 100 Willamette, but you
might want to stop by the biology advising office to be sure.
PET THERAPY
  If you are available to attend the pet therapy session this Saturday,
November 6th, please email Robin (rwaldvog@gladstone) and Erica
(eerkkila@gladstone).  We need to know ASAP if people can attend so we can
plan on getting dogs and letting Farmington Square know what time we will
be coming (probably from 10:00 to 11:30).
PET SAFETY PROGRAM
  This is for local elementary classes and we plan on doing a presentation
about pets, dog bite prevention and other animal related items.  Let Robin
know if you are interested in participating (rwaldvog@gladstone).
FERAL CAT COALITION
  Tenatively scheduled for Sunday, December 5th, the coalition will come to
spay and neuter feral cats in the university area.  We are still working
on the details and will let everyone know what is going on. 
KAPLAN PRESENTATION
  There will be a free Kaplan Presentation entitled: "Is medical school
for me?".  It will last 15-30 minutes on November 17th.  More on this
later.
OSU REPRESENTATIVE
  Is anyone interested in doing the leg work with contacting the OSU pre-vet
club and arranging events with them (such as our visit to the vet program
there)?  Let Robin know (rwaldvog@gladstone).
LARGE ANIMAL VETERINARIAN GUEST SPEAKER
Does anyone know of a large animal vet that could come speak to the group?
Let Robin know (rwaldvog@gladstone).

Monday January 10th Meeting Minutes:

Basically we discussed if the meeting time will work for everyone.  We
need more feedback from everyone else: would a Monday or Tuesday meeting time be better for you?  What time works?

Meetings will be held every third week (so our next one will be the week of January 31st).

We are trying to plan to go to OSU and sit in on a class.  If you are
interested, please contact Robin or I.

GUEST SPEAKER
On Monday, February 21st Dr. Danica Salomun will be speaking to us at  6:30 p.m. in 25 Klamath.  We plan on having pizza, so please reply to me (eerkkila@gladstone.uoregon.edu) or Robin (prevet@darkwing.uoregon.edu) so we know how much to get.  Please email us even if you cannot come so that we know you are still interested in the club.
Also, email me any questions you have for the quest speaker (who is a small animal veterinarian) by Sunday evening, February 6th so we can give Dr. Salomun a compiled list.

FERAL CAT COALITION
This Sunday, February 6th, is the day to volunteer for the Feral Cat
Coalition. Please see previous email for detailed lists of positions.
Call Kathy Bell (689-0397) immediately if you are going to volunteer.

MEETING TIME CHANGE
We are changing the meetings to Thursday at 6:00 p.m.  This means that the next meeting will be Thursday February 24th in 25 Klamath.

OSU
We are still working on the trip to OSU for mock interviews and possibly attending a class.  This will likely happen in March, so keep checking your email for updates.


REMINDER
Please email Robin and me if you can not attend the meeting for any
reason.  We would like to remove people from the list who are no longer interested, so please keep in touch if you still want to be a part of the club.
