Jean Laird, Nate Assignments/Potential s Call to Order/Roll Call Meeting Started at 8:36 am Public Comment No formal action was taken. Nate came to talk to ASWN to say that he is taking some charge with ALAS and their activities. He doesn t want to step on anyone s toes, but he wants to help the college, because it needs that. He wants to solve some problems and answer some questions that will arise from ALAS partnering with other clubs for their easter event. They plan to call the event Spring Festival, or something of that nature. Lilly informs ASWN that the ALAS president has formally resigned and there are other problems with members of the group that Lilly is trying to figure out. So the whole of this public comment is to ask ASWN for some support because an important scholarship is in jeopardy from the easter event falling through. Viri offers her help. Adrian has some questions and asks Nate why they can t go to the Latino Cohort or give the event wholly to the nursing club. Lilly says that they can t do that. Nate explains that the whole point of the event is to raise money for a scholarship. Viri agrees that ASWN should sponsor the event. Lilly suggests that we wait until the 2:30 meeting on
