Open Floor
- Melanie Duarte asked about solutions to prevent club members having to work the entire Carnival.
Discussion on Cosplay Opposition
- Alan Hernandez: Not neccessary
- Sofia DeStefano: Doesn't financially benefit the school and not much happens during the meetings. No effort is put in either than fundraising.
- Saura Banton: Doesn't benefit the students as much as other clubs do.
- Javeon Frank: Pitch for Sports Club and the funds from Cosplay to be given for that.
- Howard Chase: It does not gives us a hands on experience and it doesn't help us for our professions that we want to go to, sounds more like a meeting club.
- Melanie Duarte: Said that it was a meeting discussion and not anything more, it can be so much more but it needs to be built on more. More mentorship should be used.
- Jaylin Ray: They are in the club and that they have the ability to make stuff from class advisor's materials, and they are planning on doing more stuff.
- Lucas Audett: Went into meeting and they are going to be working on stuff for cosplay and to communicate and make friends, more comfortable with others and if you aren't doing anythig than you are not allowed to be there, they will also be fundraising to get more materials, last meeting was being used to discuss ideas for costumes, planning trip to Comic-Con.
- Basketball Team will be voted on next meeting.
