Agenda Items:

Talent Show Review: Some suggestions for next year’s talent show is to re-organize the shirt distributions. For example, each SAAC rep gets the sizes of the shirts their teammates wants and submits them to the Student Services Office and then after the shirts are ordered, packages them up, then before or after the show, the SAAC rep retrieves the bag with all their teams shirts. Another suggestion was to have some sort of raffle when the judges deliberate so people will not leave before the announcements of the winners. The fundraiser was a good buffer but maybe next year switch to a food drive.

Second Mile: This month’s Second Mile program is Sunday, February 27th from 2:00PM to 4:00PM at St. Mary’s Gym. The concentration is swimming and if anyone on the swim team would like to volunteer, please contact Kristen Cornicello.

Student-Athlete Appreciation Luncheon: Ideas were discussed on how to change the luncheon. One is to recognize all athletes who accomplished a 3.5 or higher instead of just one athlete nominated by the coach.

Spring BBQ: In conjunction with Student-Athlete Appreciation Week, the Spring BBQ will be held either on Sunday, April 3rd or Sunday, April 10th at the same location as the Fall BBQ. In addition to the menu, Julie will ask dining services if they have Veggie Burgers.

Center for Health and Wellness: Attached is a flyer regarding a fashion show by the center for health and wellness. If interested, please contact jennifer.flannelly@villanova.edu.

New Project: The new project for this year that will potentially carry over for next year is establishing student-athlete meal plan at Bartley.

Pen Pal Letters: Pen Pal letters were distributed at the meeting. Please have letters in to Julie by Monday, February 28th. Some student-athletes did not receive letters back. Those student-athletes do not have to respond.

Reminder: If you cannot make a meeting, please email julie.battista@villanova.edu
