At approximately 6:45, she will address last minute questions, paperwork and notarized forms. There will be two education-related activities during the cruise. They will tour the Disney infirmary and will deliver donations to the Rotary Club President in Nassau for Haiti. Susan said that she thought that the Southlake Rotary Club may assist.


• Nominating Committee for 2010-2011 Board Positions — Susan will put together the committee by the next meeting in March. She needs volunteers from all class years as well as one current Board member. After the committee is put together, it will be run by Dawn Schindler as Parliamentarian. The slate will be announced in April, and elections will be held in May.


• Fundraising — Amy discussed potential dates for the Sonic fundraiser. Volunteers are needed to help with the event. Alex Holcomb will discuss with the students. We need 12-15 students to work two four-hour shifts on February 27th. Students will get community service hours. Amy said that we do need to leave a $100 deposit, which is refundable when we show up.

• Professionals Breakfast/Career Day — Mrs. Martin said that if school is cancelled, we will need to cancel the Professionals Breakfast and Career Day. If CISD has a delayed start, the Professionals Breakfast/Career Day will also need to have a delayed start. If CISD has early release, we will also need to have early release. Professionals will be notified by email.


• Computer Cabinet — The Eagle Scout is working on the cabinet. Susan is waiting to hear back from Dr. Strike on the software.


• Chamber of Commerce Student Presentation — Mrs. Martin and Alex made a presentation to the Chamber of Commerce on Monday about CMA because the Chamber was interested in learning more about the program. Alex will be attending Baylor in the Fall, and she applied for one of five automatic admissions to medical school. She relayed to the Chamber of Commerce that her internship and classroom experience were key in getting her to the interview stage at Baylor. Mrs. Martin also took letters from graduates to show the Chamber.


• Speaker: Dr. Wayne Hebert on Designated Doctor Program — Dr. Hebert began his career as a chiropractor in Southlake. He practiced for 25 years before retiring to start a management company, which manages Designated Doctors. Designated Doctors are physicians, surgeons and chiropractors who are assigned by the State of Texas to review injury-at-work cases to evaluate and determine levels of impairment and disability for Worker's Compensation claims. There were more than 50,000 work-related injuries in Texas last year. Serving as a Designated Doctor is a great way to supplement income or pay back medical school loans because State law requires 100% reimbursement of expenses and charges.
