Meeting Minutes - 4/7

Hey girls,

The meeting last night went really well. We hope you enjoyed the pizza and good company!

Yesterday we talked about becoming an official AWC member. This is really important for networking and job opportunities, and it's also a great resume builder. Plus, we'll have a really touching initiation ceremony at the end of the year for all official, registered members. Make sure to get your dues to Lindsay if you haven't yet done so.

We also talked about elections, which will be held on April 20. ANYONE can run for any position, even if yesterday was your first meeting! You can run for the following positions:

• President
• Vice President
• Secretary
• Membership
• Treasurer
  
• Public Relations

Just prepare a 2-3 minute speech to give on the 20th.

We also talked about our Relay for Life team. Look for an update on how to join that and help the Scripps Organizations in defeating cancer!

Meeting Minutes 3/2

Hey Girls,

I hope you all enjoyed the meeting with Char last night. In honor of February's healthy relatinship month, we talked about the elements that go into a healthy relationship.

After compiling a list of the top 10 qualities we all look for in relationships, we talked about different kinds of trust, respect and intimacy. Some types of intimacy that Char discussed were:

• Intellectual Intimacy: sharing ideas
  
• Emotional Intimacy: sharing significant feelings/meanings
  
• Aesthetic Intimacy: sharing experiences with another person
  
• Recreational Intimacy: freedom to let the child within us come out when we are with others
  
• Work Intimacy: sharing common tasks
  
• Sexual Intimacy: expression of closeness
  
• Crisis Intimacy: successful coping with internal or external threats
  
• Commitment Intimacy: mutual concerns for issues and philosophies
  
• Spiritual Intimacy: sharing of ultimate concerns regarding meaning of life
  
• Creative Intimacy: sharing emotional and social factors that help each other grow and learn
  

I think it was a really therapeutic and thought-provoking meeting for all of us.

Some other things that were taken care of:

• We passed out new membership forms and membership renewal forms. Make sure you're at next week's meeting if you haven't filled one of those out yet. Also make sure you get us your membership fees by next week

Look out for e-mails from us about next week's meeting!

Meeting Plans: 3/2

Hey girls!

Tomorrow Char Kopchick from the Women's Center will be the guest speak at our meeting, talking to us about women's health. I know it's a broad topic, which is why we need YOUR suggestions!

E-mail the AWC gmail account at ohiouawc@gmail.com and let us know what YOU'D like to hear Char talk to the group about.

She is such an energetic person, and she's been a favorite in the past at AWC meetings. Also -- don't be afraid to "go there." That's the point of these meetings: to talk about things that other circumstances don't allow you to discuss. Ask the questions you've always want to ask!

So go! E-mail away, let us know what YOU want to hear about.

See you all tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Scripps 111.
