SSTF Website

- We have access to the following domains:
- sstf.union.rpi.edu
- farmersmarket.union.rpi.edu
- tgif.union.rpi.edu
- tgif.sstf.rpi.edu
- fm.sstf.union.rpi.edu
- With this, there is a possibility of making one of the websites the calendar for the Sustainability Cooperative Clubs at Rensselaer.
Litter Bug Battle Logistics and Planning
- Motion to delay the battle to the first Saturday in November at 2-4pm to give time for logistics and planning was unanimously passed.
- In addition to the trophy prize, a cash incentive of $25-50 was decided on. This is to be funded by a sister project of the LBB, the Halloween Bake Sale.
- The Halloween Bake sale is to be held in the Union lobby on October 27th from 12-2pm (Ci & ems.union.rpi.edu for more details)
- There was discussion of an entry fee for teams, but it was decided this was a disincentive and thus the bake sale will fund the prize. Profits from the sale will proceed to SSTF budget surplus.
- The teams must collect trash from within a walking distance (they cannot use a car to transport themselves or trash)
- The Collaboration with APO was discussed, but not further addressed. The current outlook is for SSTF to do this alone.
