The constitution was discussed, a revision was made, and then we proceeded to vote.**)

C. Activities
1.) Movie Night:
Jesus Camp
The God Who Wasn’t There
Inherit the Wind
School of the Holy Beast
The Wicker Man
Contact
Monty Python’s Life of Brian
American Experience: The Monkey Trial
Other
(**A few other possibilities were suggested for movie night: “Four Horseman,” “Zeitgeist,” “History of Disbelief,” a NOVA series (show?) on the Dover Trials, and “Flock of Dodos.” It was decided that movie night will be on evenings every two weeks during the summer. A room will be reserved, and a variety of movies will be shown. We’ll use the feedback on the movies to determine which movies are best and should be re-shown. If anyone has movie suggestions, let Mikey, the Program Director, know!)
(**It was proposed that a review of Expelled could be written and sent to the IDS to get visibility for our group, put our name out there, etc. There was a volunteer who said he would write the review. Please let me know if that was you! I’d just like to know if it’s going to happen.**)
(**Volunteer opportunities were suggested, such as going to the Bloomington Bike Project. But, we decided that it would be the Program Director’s job to find events for us to attend and let everyone know about those planned events through email. So, we will wait and see what Mikey, the new Program Director, finds for us to volunteer at. If anyone has ideas, he/she should email Mikey Brooks.**)
D. Current events
1.) Pope visiting US (**This was discussed at the beginning of the meeting, just as a topic for people to talk about while they waited for the meeting to get started.**)
