Treasurer's Report:
	hartmans: Did we ever order the chairs that yandros was dealing
		with?
	jhawk: As of midweek, SAP thought we had a PO committment for the
		chairs xela ordered, but not for the ones yandros may
		have ordered.
	hartmans will inquire of yandros.

	xela: I would like to suggest a contingency if yandros can't deal
		in time for the end of the fiscal year; which is to
		double the Steelcase order.
	jhawk: I think we need better time constraints.
	xela: In the judgement of the vice-chair who has been appointed
		to talk to yandros.

IAP Report:
	xela: It is time for people who are thinking about thinking
		about teaching a class next IAP to think about talking
		to me.

Anniversary Report:
	jhawk: How much do we suck?
	gisele: Currently, we suck a lot. Nobody was able to deal with
		paper invitations in time. Since this is now less than
		a week away, there will not be paper invitations. I'm
		looking for people to deal with getting food and
		people to deal with setting up and cleaning up on
		Sunday. I don't have time this week to deal with this,
		so if somebody doesn't volunteer it's not going to
		happen, and that would really suck a lot.
	belmonte: What and when needs to be setup?
	gisele: Set up would entail bringing food from wherever we
		store it, and getting the grill started.
	[belmonte gets very excited about fire and volunteers to help.]

	gisele: Great; I still need someone to go and get food once
		we've determined how much food to get.  Please RSVP to
		sipb-rsvp if you're thinking about coming. I'm hoping
		to have an approximate number of people so we can deal
		with money stuff for paying for food. Does anyone
		think it would be a bad idea for SIPB to pay for the
		BBQ? [No.]
	tb: Move to allocate $1000 for food.
	[xela seconds]

	hartmans: Friendly amendment to allow for paying for paper plates,
		BBQ supplies, etc.
	[white-ballot, motion passes]

	gisele: Still need someone with a car to get food. kilroi has
		offered to help. This should happen Friday or
		Saturday, or early Sunday.

	xela: Anyone who's going to be at USENIX during the BBQ should
		look at the message board for plans of some sort of
		remote anniversary party.
