- Hendrix Bicycle Revolution: In the past, the people who manned the bike revolution worked voluntarily.

- VAC: APPROVED: $525!
- SBC: APPROVED $600 for Soul Food Day and $421.55 for Disney’s Black Princess Cafeteria Theme Day. Fincom recommended to not fund the refreshments for the Princess and the Frog movie showing ($55 plus pizza) because they also applied for a SIP grant.

- Rules to enforce for senate election: You have to live in the place before you run for that senator position. FAILS. Katherine will be contacted to have this change made.
- Voting should be 24 hours since it is e-mail anyway, and plus some people are unable to check their e-mail between 9-5. Chance will talk with Katherine about this too.
VIII. Adjournment
Request for Discretionary Funds
Prepared by: VAC
Budget Breakdown: (Attach a line-item budget with each expense of the event)
Organization Name: VAC
Requesting: $525
For: Hendrix volunteers to serve five meals over the course of the semester at Bethlehem House, Conway’s homeless shelter.
When & Where will this Event Occur: February 13, March 27, April 3, 10 and 24 at Bethlehem House (930 Faulkner Street, Conway, AR 72034) between the hours of 4:45pm and 6:45pm.
Master Calendar Confirmation: N/A
Event Details: For the above dates mentioned, VAC is requesting enough funds to purchase the ingredients necessary to cook a meal at Bethlehem House for 20-25 people. This reoccurring event is open to all Hendrix students who want to come and help serve a hot meal at Conway’s homeless shelter. The group of students will prepare the meal from 4:45pm-6:00pm and then serve the food from 6:00pm-6:45pm. This event will build community between Hendrix students and the residents of Conway. Bethlehem House is extremely low on both food and funds right now, so this service project will be made possible through funds from Senate. Bethlehem House does not currently have the resources to provide ingredients for Hendrix students to cook with. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for Hendrix students to connect with the larger community and meet other students while engaging in meaningful service.

Discretionary Proposal
Bike Mechanic Positions (by green house on Buhler)
This request is for both mechanics (Brennan McGinn and Sean Mehl) to be compensated for the regular hours for the Hendrix Bike Shop – Monday through Thursday from 4:00pm to 6:00 – and alternating Saturday workdays. (do you service student bikes as well?) (club or service)
2 hrs/day x 4 days/week x 4 weeks/mo + 2 four hr. Saturdays = 40 hrs/mo.
40 hrs/mo. x $7.25 (AR minimum wage) = $290/mo/mechanic
$290/mo/mechanic x 3 mos. = $870/semester/mechanic
Total = $1740 for both mechanics

Black History Month
Soul Food Day
(Saturday, February 27th 2009, 12 -1 pm Galloway Parlor)
One of the most known aspects of African American Culture is the food. What few realize though is the sentimental and spirtual aspect behind what is commonly called “soul Food.” SBC wants to educate the Hendrix Community on what African Americans consider soul food. It goes beyond just eating; it is the friends and family around. It is the whole atmosphere. Therefore, we are going to show this by creating an SBC SOUL FOOD DINNER. We will have SBC members dressed in costume and table set out in the way a typically lunch/dinner would be set. We are hoping to enrich the community by providing a glimpse into what many may never see.
