f. Members voted on making the t-shirt have the theme of "what I learned

in biology." Have ideas ready for the chili/game night meeting and we will put

it together then. You can also e-mail bioclub with your ideas.

g. Becca projected the idea of making a petri plate ornament for the SAB

Christmas tree decoration. Although we are past the due date for this year,

perhaps we could still put something together to practice for next year and

give them away to the bio faculty and advisors.
