Boy Scout Mentoring, Pizza, Pumpkin Carving Contest, Social Event - MANRRS GBM #4

The UMD chapter of Minorities In Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences will be having its fourth General Body Meeting (GBM) Thursday, October 21th. Between 5pm and 5:45 we will be mentoring elementary school boy scouts on Zoom (https://umd.zoom.us/j/3488982559) and from 5:45 to 6:30 we will be having a social event in the Animal Sciences courtyard. Our agenda is linked here and the previous minutes are linked in that document. Please review and let me know if changes are needed.

For the first portion of our GBM, we will be doing a college/career panel and giving the boy scouts advice and answering their questions. For the second half, we'll be hanging out in the animal sciences courtyard, eating pizza, playing yard games, and getting to know each other. We will also be handing out pumpkins ($2 to enter for a chance to win $50) for a pumpkin carving competition - more details at the event! It's okay if you can't stay the whole time or for both portions. We hope to see you all next Thursday!

Don't forget that we have several open positions that we are actively looking for! Please let us know if you have any questions or are interested. 

  • We are looking for Chairs and general members for our Fundraising and Events & Outreach Committee. Our Fundraising Committee plans our fundraisers, and the Events & Outreach Committee will plan big events like our Maryland Day event. Let us know if you are interested in either of these committees. This is another great introductory leadership experience and we hope you will join us!
