she can plan accordingly. It is not required, but she would appreciate it.

front of any cinema classes, do! Monday will probably be best, that way it
will be fresh in people’s minds for the meeting that night.
Have a good week and we hope to see everyone next Monday night!
Hey everyone,
Just a reminder about our regular meeting tomorrow night at 9:30 in 1120 Torgersen Hall. If you have any work that you’ve done over the semester that you’d like to show off and talk about please bring it tonight.
Also, be thinking about how you might be able to help AMP next year in an officer position. We will have officer elections at our final meeting on Dec 7. Here are the available officer positions and their responsibilities:
President: Organize weekly meetings, coordinate with other officers to plan and run the club.
Vice-president: Work closely with the president in his responsibilities, plan a 24-hour film festival.
Secretary: Record meeting minutes and send out over listserv.
Public Relations: Oversee the promotion of AMP.
Webmaster: Update and maintain the website.
