-The chemistry club will be touring Sigma-Aldrich's DeKalb and research and development facilities in December. A head count is needed by November 28th.

The R&D portion of the tour will be at 1 PM, and if anyone needs to arrive late, arrangements can be made.

-The Probst lecture is still being planned. There is a deadline on November 30th.

-The abstract for the ACS poster has been submitted and the ACS deadline met. In order to obtain funding from Kimmel, we will need to apply as soon as possible. The abstract for the poster will have to be accepted by ACS in order for the Chemistry club to attend the meeting.

-The lock for the chem club room will be installed on Monday of Thanksgiving break. There will need to be a person from the club present for the lock to be installed. After the lock has been installed, the computer and printer can be installed in the room. The code for the lock will be given to active chem club members as determined by participation in Chem club activities.

-The lock has a numeric code which will be given to active chem club members. Active chem club members are determined by participation in club activites. A person who participates in three club activities, an officer in the club, or an ACS Student Affiliate is given active member status. These requirements were determined after polling chem club members in our Yahoo! groups board.
