b. T-Shirts: Jenni, Raphyel, Andrew and Jamaal brought in comps of T-shirts, discussion was had on favorites and any possible changes. Raphyel will look into where to print and prices.

c. Posters: Raphyel, Andrew and Jamaal brought in posters and were voted on by the members. Raphyel’s design won and so will be posted on campus as well as on the board outside Mrs Horne’s office.

d. DM Presentation: Last Wednesday a meeting was held for those involved in the presentation. Right now Sam is speaking, Jenni is creating the content and Nancy is creating background graphics for the PowerPoint presentation.

e. DM Commercial: Great idea but is put on the back burner for now since DM has a lot going on this semester already.

f. Taboo! – Discussed possibly getting together to play Taboo!

g. Tutorials- While Sam’s tutorial idea is a GREAT idea, Mrs. Horne explained that the software he uses for his works aren’t in the lab. The decision was made to do Adobe product tutorials instead.

h. Geekend: Tech conference November 4th and 5th in Savannah that DM members might be interested in attending. Registration fee is $40 but there might be a group discount.
