Old Business: New Projector: Heyse researched and presented some projectors that will be used for advertising, and playing DVDs, because it was stolen this summer:

Choice 1 : Panasonic 5000 - DLP - about $7,500 (including warranty) -Will maximize screen compared to last year, but might be squished/stretched. Dual bulbs.

Choice 2 : LCD - $5,600 - Fake Widescreen - Low Brightness. Very Low Contrast- 16:9; unlike Choice 1 which will be squished/ stretched.

Choice 3 : Panasonic 4000 - DLP - about $20,000- OMG choice; all bells and whistles; almost a professional projector.  

Contact Heyse if you have questions

New Business: 'An Inconveinient Truth' : Sunday October 29, from 6:00-10:00, 'An Inconveinient Truth' will be played through Film Board, and Dr. Bolmer agrees to pay for the rights. It was voted upon to donate projector costs ($100) which were passed. Voting: During the week 7 meeting, we will vote on movies, and during week 12 we will vote on officers. In order to run for an officer position, you must have 1 semester of experience with film board. New Members: Kyle Long and Stephen Anderson applied, were interviewed, discussed upon, and voted on.  They were accepted as members.
