Minutes

 

Nicole Gerber (Chief)

 

Need coverage for an hour this Sunday from 12-1 at Powderpuff football

-Jay may cover, pending George finding out if its ok for us to just not be there for a hour

 

Next meeting will include skits – watch for an email this week.

 

Holly Heller (Advisor)

 

Yellow card/immunization record procedure changed because there is a lot of personal information on the yellow cards.

-We have a new list/sheet that has everyone who has filled all the requirements on there.

 

Our budget was increased $1000 for this year

            Intended so we can buy fleeces or jackets

 

Our AED contract has expired

            We need to renew the contract through Capital Health

            We need to update the AED to reflect the changes to CPR

                        CPD also hasn’t has theirs updated yet

                        Our AED may not be working

                                    Nicole, George will check on this

                        We also need to be trained on the AED briefly after the update gets done

 

Housing

            We can have up to six early arrivals for the spring semester

            Will need to submit list to Res Life by November

 

Oxygen supply

            -Kennedy no longer going to do it for us

-Looking for a new company just to fill the tanks we own, because renting is expensive and we don’t need to.

                        Scott will be helping us potentially fill our tanks through Pennington Rd

                                    We would then make a donation to Pennington

                                    Campus PD could also potentially help us out.

 

Swipe access

-Crew chiefs were supposed to get this (Nicole, Regina, Jess, George, Jay). Will try again to get it approved.

 

Swapping keys between last year’s line and this year’s for health services was OK. Everyone who needs a key has one.

 

 

Scott Sferra (Advisor)

 

Working on setting up training classes with Regina

            -CPR, First Aid, Blood Borne Pathogens, CEUs, Core 13 all a possibility in the future

-All we have to do is figure out when we want to have them and how many people we have signed up, and we can organize any classes.

 

When on a call and Pennington Rd (or another ambulance company) is coming to transport, please have someone come down and let the crew into the building, as they do not have access after midnight. This has already been a problem.

 

 

George Apostolopoulos (Deputy Chief)

 

Crew chiefs, please send out personal emails to your crews reminding them to do standbys. We are not getting enough members to do standbys. Remind them of active membership requirements and the option for guaranteed housing.

 

We are not getting adequate call volume for training co-CC’s. We may want to set up some training in the future to expedite this.

 

Will send out a general reminder email regarding standbys, community fest and six flags.

 

Will deal with getting uniforms out of the closet and distributing them for community fest volunteers.

Jim has been coordinating the volunteers so far and will do so until he leaves on Friday afternoon.

 

There are some new members who need orientations.

 

We have a preliminary draft of an “intoxication cheat sheet” for calls.  We will use this to run a drill on how to appropriately handle alcohol calls before it goes into service in any form. If it goes into service there will be a disclaimer attached.

 

 

Regina Cummings (Training)

 

Classes

            CPR will be 10/15 – a four hour class

            First Aid will be 10/28

                        Prices TBA

-Books will have to be purchased for CPR because the material is all new.

            November 29th – blood borne pathogens; at our meeting

            Core 13 – first weekend in December, 3 days.

 

Discussion ensued about possibly going out of service over fall break, depending on crew chief availabilities.

 

 

Jay Preciado (Exec VP)

 

More membership apps coming in – directory will be updated

 

T Shirt order will be going in after the next meeting

            Jess will send email reminders about bringing money

 

Sweatshirt order will go in later

            We will be switching companies, maybe to the one that does the shirts

            We may need to switch the design of the sweatshirts because of the athletic logo

                        Maybe we can use the T shirt design for the new sweatshirts

 

 

Jessica Paciorek (Secretary)

 

No news.

 

 

Mike Rossetti (Treasurer)

 

We are being audited by SFB

            We need to produce:

                        2 speaker microphones for the vortex radios

                        8 radios

                        The polo shirts

Hopefully our rep can attend our meeting next week, since we’ll be bringing all the radios over anyway.

 

 

Andres Acosta (Growth)

 

Meeting set up with Sean Stallings to go over the Res Life SOP’s

            May also include: the committee, Mike Robbins, the crew chiefs, and campus PD

 

We should look into getting the old BSC computer lab as our room

-However, this doesn’t have outside access, which means it couldn’t be a ready room.

                        -Holly will talk to the VP of Student Life and the head of the BSC for us

 

 

Jim Garvey (VP Member Services)

 

Community fest – this weekend

            Three shifts

-         the first shift needs to get there at 9.30 to get us set up

-         All of the shifts will be doing BP screenings, and backboarding whenever

 

We have a copy of last months NJFAC meeting minutes

            The next meeting is in Allentown on 10/18 at 7.30pm

                        Jim, Andres and possibly Jessica will attend

 

Halloween party ideas for the 10/25 meeting

            Food (munchkins?), activities (no cravat fashion show L)

 

 

Tom Paulmann (Publicity)

 

The committee met this week

            Posters are in progress

            Community fest pamphlet has been finished

            We are preapproved for a student center banner

            We are looking into business cards

 

 

Kelly Gilsenan (Fundraising)

 

We have Six Flags on 10/29

            Four or five people are signed up and we need 10

 

Ideas for the future:

-A “topless” carwash – we are fully clothed, but don’t tell people that. Then we charge them extra to wash the top of their car.

            -Cold Stone Fundraiser – it is easy and makes a lot of money.
