SFLIS Minutes

SFLIS MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 9, 1998

Wow, bright lights for the meeting today.  Probably so the people can see
as they're setting up equipment in the next room for the band that will be
performing later.
- Before the meeting began, there was a discussion of the Pinky and the Brain
  camp counselor episode.
- Mail!  We got a letter this week, dated Aug. 7, about registering for the
  student activities fair.  Speaking of which....
- There was a student activities fair this afternoon, and SFLIS had a
  table there, talked to some students, passed out information.
  We need to keep some flyers for ICON, Gamicon, etc. at the SFLIS desk
  to use for occasions like this.
- Gamicon:  3/4 of the concom is here again!  Gamicon will buy pizza for
