Minutes

 

Kevin Mnich (Logistics)

 

Radios

Line Officer #4 and #5 are missing

            We have inherited a “special Olympics” radio – where did it come from?

            Do the summer staff have access to our closet?

            Working on labeling and inventory of radios and all shirts

 

 

George Apostolopoulos (Deputy Chief)

 

Standbys for this weekend – still some open spots

SOPs have no minimum requirements for membership

            Need to come up with some standards

                        For standbys, there will be a minimum amount.

                                    Crew chiefs will have a greater number of required standbys.

-Suggestions: 2-3 for general members, 4-5 for CC’s, or 1 per month. Fundraising activities can count.

 

Passport to Programming

            Didn’t mention any required EMS presence at large events

-Perhaps we need to spread the word that we should be invited to standby at larger events

-However, this may not be happening because we don’t transport, so we can’t force the school to set a policy that includes us.

 

Circulated preliminary copy of standby form

            Form is designed to keep track of what happens at standby events

 

The Frisbee team may make a donation to us for working their tournament last weekend.

 

 

Regina Cummings (Training)

 

CPR

            Classes are being organized right now with Pennington Road

-Working on getting headcounts of who needs new CPR and who needs a recert.

            Also sent an email about getting a Core 13/EMT class organized

            Will work with Kevin on getting First Aid class organized

            Also working on Bloodborne Pathogens drill with Brian Webb

                        To be held during a LEMS meeting

There has been some confusion with getting a standby crew for Rugby the weekend of homecoming – the college told them we wont be available because of homecoming?

 

 

Jay Preciado (Exec VP)

 

Membership applications – working on getting everything organized

            Need T-shirt money, copies of certifications – Jess will send emails.

 

Mike Rossetti (Treasurer)

 

Paid for glasses two weeks ago – check hasn’t cleared yet

            Left over money, $39.33, went to the fundraising account

 

We spent $232 on the glasses, we may have some more money coming soon from standbys.

 

Called the company that sent us the crew chief bag, the bag we ordered doesn’t come in blue

            We will label the new bag “Crew Chief” and put it into service soon

            The old bag will become a standby bag

                        We can get a new oxygen tank so both crew chief bags will have one.

 

Will submit a request for new radios by Friday

            Radios will come from Capital Health Budget

            Regina has a copy of the proposal from last year we can use.

 

Jessica Paciorek (Secretary)

 

Membership directory, attendance records and birthday list (J) are all up to date.

-Will email everyone once next week’s meeting is done and more people are added.

-Will also send reminder emails to everyone to get their forms and copies of certs to Jay.

 

 

Jim Garvey (VP Member Services)

 

Thank you to everyone who helped at the activities fair – we had a lot of new members sign up!

 

We are signed up for a table at community fest on October 17th

            We need volunteers to work at the table

 

Campus Police Party

            Still waiting for a response to email.

 

Patch Trade project for our message board in health services

            Do we have any LEMS patches?

            How much would it cost to get some?

 

Possibility of having a Halloween party

 

Do we have an NJFAC liason

            Will talk to Kevin to find out more about it

            Will attend the meetings as our representative

 

 

Andres Acosta (Growth)

 

Will start a committee to go over the Res Life portion of our SOPs

            Looking for a Res Life contact person

                        Will contact Pauline Toth (toth@tcnj.edu) to get started

                        May involve Campus PD also

 

Had the opportunity to talk to an SGA member about getting some of our benefits approved (golf cart, ready room)

We may or may not want to do this – we should do it ourselves, rather than through SGA

We need to have a proper proposal with statistics and our reasoning prepared before we do this.

            Jay will help with ‘wish list’

                        How can we get a room in BSC (like UL or BSU has)

 

Kelly Gilsenan (Fundraising)

 

Six Flags is mailing paperwork to be filled out

-The mail will be delivered either to the Student Center mailbox or to Health Services

 

Will look into the Loop Bus

 

 

Tom Paulmann (Publicity)

 

No news on website.

 

For community fest we will be doing BP screenings

            Will put together or find a pamphlet on “what does my blood pressure mean”, etc.

 

 

Nicole (President)

 

First meeting went really well.

 

Need coverage in 2 weeks for weekend rotation.

 

Next meeting plans

            Many suggestions:

                        Crew “races”

                                    Bandaging

                                    Backboarding

These will involve a teaching and “doing” component, with crew chiefs as the “victims”.

                        We can do a documentation ‘drill’ – we need scenarios

                                    There are many in the back of EMT books

            *Nicole will finalize activity plans for next week.

 

There is no timeline for co-crew chiefs to become crew chiefs – it is whenever they feel comfortable and are ready.
