Note

Payap website has a page where you can post anything on. Good way for IC to get across to thai side and thai side can know what events are happening. Have 2 members of ISU do that and keep posting on it and checking it. Talk to Jeff if you are interested or want more details.

Sports representatives

We currently have 2 Sports representatives Nathan and Smith.

Nathan is very good at getting things done however never attends the meetings.
Smith is also a very good representative

Marcus Wolter is interested in taking a position of sports rep. making it 3 sports reps. Marcus, smith and Nathan can get together and plan together how they want to pick up the sports.

Marcus was voted in by 6 members therefore he is now our third sports rep for the ISU for this academic year.

PYU Open house

Wednesday 3rd sep. at 9am.

Dara school coming to visit. Speak some English. Have 4 ISU members attending. Cameron, Caleb, Lenny and Anita.
Very formal, ISU should do an ice breaker e.g. games etc
Sam was going to present the university as a whole but they think students should do it. Want students to interact with students instead of teacher. Jeff can prepare a powerpoint for the presentation just wants some ISU members to present it. Jeff will go talk to Sam about what he intends to present then the ISU can do the powerpoint presentation.
