Minutes: Passed
President: Nothing to report, but everyone please come to the meeting next week since Film Board will be
selecting the movies for the first 7 weeks of the winter term and maybe the
Winter Carnival movie too.
Vice President: Went to the Ming Buffet and they
said that there will be no deals for groups; the buffet will cost $9.99/per
person. Requirements are also updated.
Secretary: If you are going to be absent from a
meeting please contact the secretary and
inform him of your absence.
Treasurer: For “Signs”, we sold 783 tickets
that amounts to $ 1,566.00 and made $ 460.00 in
Concessions.
Equipment Supervisor: The movie “Reign of Fire”
will probably be previewed around 8:00 pm on Wednesday night. Hey Folks - I can't make the
meeting tonight, so I'll grace your
inboxes with my report. Last week, I hauled Louie up to Fisher 135 to have him
give us an estimate for the new screen hanging. We went into the ceiling and
inspected the setup, and he thought it could be done by two people from
facilities in a pretty short amount of time (8 hours MAX, which is about $450
billed to us). HOWEVER, I called our people at ICECO for advice, and found out
that we can still get a screen like the one
we have now, which means we don't have to go through all that mumbo jumbo to
hang one with a dust cover. So, I have ordered the screen, which is a Draper
Evenroll (should look identical to the one we have now). It should be here in a
couple of weeks. The other good news is
that it is much cheaper. The screen quote is $2075, with about $130 for
shipping.
That's at least a thousand dollars cheaper than we expected. This screen should
be much easier to hang, with the aid of a few ladders or some scaffolding. We
may still need a couple hours from facilities, but not much. Also, Louie helped fix our existing screen a
little, so
we can now roll it all the way up to the support board. This keeps it straighter and out of the way
for classes. Knowing how this was done should extend the useful life of our new
screen, too. (There was a problem with how the ropes were wound on to the
spool, which prevented us from fully lifting the screen) Ok, I'm done.
Web page: The web page has been updated.
Publicity: No report
Concessions: The popcorn oil I ordered is in and should last to near the end of the year (in the spring). I also ordered more popcorn for this weekend.
Advertising: No report.
Advisors: No report.
Old Business: Next week Film Board will be
selecting the first 7 movies for the winter term. A motion has been made and seconded to show a
movie during Winter Carnival Thursday night, motion passes. For the Winter Carnival movie Film Board
usually does not charge admission. A
motion has been made and then seconded to select the movie for Winter Carnival
from the www.Swank.com page; motion passes
with two members who voted nay. A motion
has been made and then seconded to select the movie “Half Baked” for the Winter
Carnival movie, 5 votes for and the rest against, motion fails. A motion has been made to table the choice of
the movie for Winter Carnival until a further date; motion passes.
New Business: Film Board needs to begin thinking
about new officers for the winter term; anyone can go for a position that has
been in Film Board for at least 1 semester.
Nominations will be open up to and including 15th week, at
which time Film Board will vote in the new officers; new officers will start
there positions 5th week of the winter term.
