New business items:

• The Terry College will once again participate in the Toy-for-Tots program with the Navy School. Information will be sent regarding deadline for this event. The drop-off area for the toys will remain in Logistics.
• Ashley Young had the SRG Committee review the SRG Bylaws, as printed from the Terry web site. Ashley told the members to bring suggestions regarding any changes to the by-laws to the December SRG meeting. It was mentioned that we either need to comply with the by-laws as written or change them.
• Ashley Young had the SRG members fill out and return to her a short opinion questionnaire regarding the SRG meetings.
• There was an open discussion among the SRG members as to suggestions of filling several vacant areas where departmental units are not being represented with a SRG member. There was no conclusion to this problem. The committee did mention it was unfair to assign the SRG representative duties to new Terry employees.
