BTB is getting people to sign the BEYOND THE BOTTLE PLEDGE! It’s super easy and supports a great cause. BTB will take this to BUDS and the administration as a sign that you want to see bottled water off campus – now. So what’re you waiting for: fill out the pledge!
if you can table at all this week, that would be so helpful! (thank you to those who have already signed up!) good luck with midterms, all! Sign up here!
also, forward the petition paige sent to ALL of your friends AT BROWN (at brown only)!
Now that we’ve gone through that, I present to you, the BTB Minutes.
Beyond the Bottle Agenda, 11/01/09
1. Intros – Happy November! – 2 new people: Welcome, Areebah and Kayleigh!
2. Coke Week of Action check-in: Reports from people who staffed it: how’d it go?; people’s reactions; *final tally of calls
3. Steering Committee – Meetings will be Wednesdays at 8:00 in the Ivy Room: Devin, Ambika, Talia, Paige, Ben, and Ari have committed to being a steady Steering Committee and will be here every week. Everyone is welcome however often you would like to attend.
4. Website! It’d be great to get this up and running before the BUCC meeting so that we can tell them we have a website. Gabi and Matt are going to work together on this; so will Paige, maybe.
5. Ben – update about BUDS
a. Will install new faucets at the Gate and Ivy Room that are tall enough for bottles to fit underneath
b. Ordered samples of reusable bottles – will be on-sale in Lil Jo’s with our logo on them! – Hooray, Stephen and his family business! 
c. Will have to talk to them about this coalition we want to form so that we don’t blindside them.
6. Tabling at JWW – Sign-ups
a. We still need more people for certain slots! Please sign up if possible!
7. Admin
a. Ambika and Ben: BUCC meeting – asking for them to a) endorse our goal as worthwhile, b) set up a formal committee of various stakeholders in the issue
b. Clay arrives to spread his knowledge!
i. BUCC is not bureaucratic – don’t need a formal resolution – reason to meet with her is to talk to her and make sure that our proposal is crafted in a way that she likes. Good to have a hand-out, have a visual; don’t have a presentation
ii. Committee is good: make it concrete, give it deadlines and goals
c. E-mail Hanna (Ruth’s assistant) to set up meeting tomorrow before Ruth’s office hours to give us feedback – Ben will do this
d. Ruth’s office hours – who can go at 3:30/45? Ambika, Paige, Ben will do it!
8. Student group
a. Movie Screening
i. Madeleine will call Denise about FLOW as a back-up
ii. Jason – How is Tapped fundraising going?
1. Will be presenting at UFB on Tuesday
2. Dems and Oxfam want to cosponsor, no commitment yet
3. Ari and Paige may have other funding leads
iii. Outreach to other student groups (for funding and/or publicity/cosponsorship) – everyone tell your friends
iv. Publicity – Matt will do poster; we will tableslip on Friday lunch, Sunday (Ratty only), Monday, and Tuesday. Tableslippers for Fri and Sun are Jonathan, Jason, Koushiki, and Cathy; rest we’ll decide next time.
b. JWW tabling
i. Everyone sign up!
ii. Don’t worry about not having done it before – we’ll make sure you’re not alone the first time
iii. It’s really fun and rewarding – people are friendly and you educate them!
9. BuDS
a. We’ll be doing signage in Jo’s, the Gate, the Ivy Room.
i. BUDS will hang up whatever we give them; it’s up to us to make it and give it to them.
ii. Small group interested in scoping out those three places to figure out what signage would be appropriate? Areebah is interested!
