Sorry for the delay in informing you all of some updates. First, I want to let you know that the SAC has still not given me access to sign us up for a room. I have just sent them yet another email this morning. I’m sorry they are so slow. As soon as I have a room, I will hold an official meeting.
Unofficially, I would like to have another social event next week. I was thinking we could meet somewhere convenient to campus−maybe the Copper Monkey or Leonardo’s, Tuesday evening, 4-11-06, at around 7PM. If you can’t afford to eat, that’s fine, just come out anyways. I’ll finalize the locale this weekend and re-post the official meeting under our meetings link. Another option is to meet at the coffee shop there at Target Copy, or at the library (Marston, or West, when it opens).
I will be meeting with the officers and any other interested parties again within the next two weeks to do some planning. We really need a banner, something I can get printed onto business cards and we can use at our table later on. That’s something I need help with. I'm about as artistic as one of my Saint Bernards (yes, I got another one, Caesar). Also, we need a secretary, just for perception’s sake, not because there is a lot of work for that person to do − organizations look better if they have all of their officer positions filled, and any one of you with a serious interest in this group can step up and take a leadership role. Please check out the delegation page.
I will also be writing a contributor’s page by this afternoon, and placing a link in the sidebar, for any/all of you who want to post on occasion to this site but find yourself intimidated by the html code and/or etiquette. Please email me (aafsa.uf at gmail dot com) if you would like to be added to the contributors list (see bottom of sidebar on right) so that you can make posts here. Those of you on the list, please feel free to throw in your $0.02.
You did NOT receive an email because I chose not to send one out. Instead, I set up an AAFSA LISTSERV (hereafter LS). Read on for more:

I made this decision after consulting with a few other people, because we all experience inbox clutter, and many people would rather just come and check on the website at their leisure, rather than being sent information they may not particularly care about at that time. Now, instead of sending unsolicited emails, I will only send emails to the LS occasionally, and its major purpose will be to facilitate communication between members. I had hoped that the blog would serve this purpose, but only Rob and myself (Daniel/aafsa.uf) seem to have posted anything other than a comment thus far.
You will not receive emails from this LS until you subscribe to it. To subscribe, send an email to LISTSERV@LISTS.UFL.EDU and in the body (not the subject line) type:
subscribe aafsa-l
You can also manage your subscription here.
In order to send an email to the entire LS, you must send an email to: AAFSA-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU.
Please be aware these are going to be very public, so write with the awareness that many people will be reading the email. I am the moderator of the LS, so all messages are approved before being distributed, therefore there will be a delay in seeing a message you send out to the group. Also note that there are archives stored on the server for public viewing for every email.
To save yourself some heartache, I recommend setting up a folder and message filter within your email client (e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook) to have all emails from the LS automagically filed away to.
Okay, that’s pretty much it for now. I will update again this weekend with an official place and time to meet next Tuesday. I will also have some topics for discussion by myself and the officers ready. I invite you all to bring along godless-relevant news and anecdotes, and please feel free to email me anytime (aafsa.uf at gmail dot com) with any suggestions or information. Again, feel free to subscribe to the LS and send out emails that way.
Best regards, see you all soon.

I know where Leonardo's is, but anyplace that isn't too difficult to find is okay with me. --Lynne
