I am all for sponsoring a run. It may take a lot of work but I think that it is a very do-able event. The downfall is that we if we do it Saturday morning would have to start the run by 6:00 or 6:30 am and daylight savings time is the weekend or two before (spring ahead). So it may be pitch black out yet at that time. With that being said, I am willing to help out in anyway that I can in organizing, but I most likely will not be able to attend the Spring Conference due to family commitments that weekend. In speaking with several members of the 1st year PT class, there are people willing to help out. Even if we don't decide to do the run, I would be willing to help organize whatever we decide.
I agree that we may run into problems with a run that early (in terms of running safety in the dark), but if it is an event in which we find a lot of support, I say lets go for it! I am willing to help out with planning of the event and also the event that day as I will be attending the conference.
I would like the run to be a go, and the support of the other members is great, but is there really going to be a turnout for runners at 5:30 am on a potentially cold April morning? What are the goals we are trying to achieve by sponsoring a run? Is there a different activity that we could sponsor at a different time during the conference that would be more appealing and that could achieve the same goals? Is it just to make the SSIG more visable? I am unfamiliar with the itinerary for the conference and the amenities available but there has to be something else we could do... thinking caps on!!!!
I would love to have the run, however it seems like the time constraints of running, showering, and being on time for breakfast are going to be very tight. Not to mention the people who are going to need to volunteer for the run will be attenting the meetings. If the purpose of the run was to get donations for Shoes for Kids, maybe we could put together some information on Shoe's for Kids and have people bring a pair of shoes or donate at the breakfast. Just an idea.
Things we need to discuss tonight -Budget -Leadership funds -spring meeting and state conference -mission statement (select date and work to get these done by spring meeting)
Other things we can discuss depending on time -Educational Ideas -Ideas to get SSIG more involved in SDPTA
I think that would work best for USD students - at least 1st year. That way they can attend and if they have other places to go that weekend they can go.
will any LATI people be able to make it, Laycee you're representing the group here. If so than the SSIG meeting here is Verm won't be too useful. We could do it in SF like they did last year when the meeting was in Rapid so more people could attend?
Next order of business, mission statement. We need to come up with one by the spring meeting. If we can work on this and then come together sometime in march, lets pick a date, and then we can finalize the mission statement.
I think that we should just set a standard dollar amount to give to each applicant. I don't think that the total cost of the event should figure into the decision. Could be $25 or $50 or whatever.
For future reference it would have been useful to send out all the applications so everyone could look at them and justify them. So Heidi we are going with your input, so all these seem justified to receive funds through the SSIG?
The problem with these is that they were paper copies physically handed in to Holly and I at the fall meeting. So the only way we all would have been able to see them is by meeting as a group in person.
Also, everyone seemed to be on board with allocating the money to the 12 individuals. So does anyone oppose giving $50 to those who applied for greater this amount, and then the amount to those who applied for less than $50?
It seems that there isn't much free time to work with as I have been trying ot figure soemthing out for the USD students. SO maybe we should just talk to Ruth and Steve and see if they need any help or if we can attend their events to socialize?
The mission statement would be best if we could get some ideas so we could finalize it the week of March 1st. We could all come up with ideas and then post them on here on the blog and then work from our ideas. Please have postings by march 1. We will send out an email with further ideas.
Lacy, Could you send out minutes to the officers for this meeting?
We need to talk about Special olympics on May 22nd and leadership funds tonight. 2 USD students are asking for reimbursement for the continuing education classes in April at the state meeting and then money for the LATI students to drive down to Vermillion for the meeting
As far as money for reimbursement for fuel, Heidi needs leadership fund applications in order for us to be able to reimburse. There needs to be a paper trail.
The special olympics will be May 22nd from about 8 am to 5 pm. There may be 2 shifts to work throughout the day. One thing that was brought up by the professors is that the LATI students only be able to provide education during this, which I am pretty sure there will be opportunities for education. More information will be sent when receive it.
Well this pretty much is a waste of time then...Nicki is having trouble as well. She will just type up an email and send it out to everyone...everyone needs to respond to get the votes so Lacey has record.. Sounds good? Any questions...We'll figure out a better way for the 1st mon in June
We have had two students from USD apply for Leadership funds. They applied for two sets of funds because they are doing two separate events.
The first event was the Sanford Sports Medicine Symposium. The total cost per participant for this was $190, so we could reimburse each participant $50 as we have previously discussed.
The second event is to attend the National Special Olympics Games in Lincoln, NE to assist with screens. The total cost for travel and expenses for this is $120 per participant. We could also reimburse $50 per participant here as well.
So to summarize we are looking at $200 in reimbursement, $50 per event, an each individual is completing 2 events. Sorry I can't email out their application forms but they were handed to me in hard copy.
I am available to meet anytime the first week in July. Thanks!
As far as meeting, we need to find a different format because the blog is ineffective. Evenings will work best, no day is any better than another, so whatever works for any body else.
I would also encourage any student to join the SDPTA SSIG page on facebook. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would like the officers to pick a date and time that they will be on this Blog every month to keep the lines of communication open.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI want to join the SDPTA SSIG page on facebook too. Thank you!

-spring meeting and state conference
-mission statement (select date and work to get these done by spring meeting)
Other things we can discuss depending on time
-Educational Ideas
-Ideas to get SSIG more involved in SDPTA
Sorry I am late. Had to get our son to bed. Wade Fligge USD Legislative chair
ReplyDeletewhere should we start?
ReplyDeletewell lets get started
ReplyDeleteWe need Heidi for the budget and the leadership funds.
ReplyDeleteAs for the SSIG spring meeting Nicci and I talked about Friday. LATI students will be out of class in time to make it. Does that work for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI think that would work best for USD students - at least 1st year. That way they can attend and if they have other places to go that weekend they can go.
ReplyDeleteFriday works for me
ReplyDeleteI think it will work okay for the LATI students also.
ReplyDeletewill any LATI people be able to make it, Laycee you're representing the group here. If so than the SSIG meeting here is Verm won't be too useful. We could do it in SF like they did last year when the meeting was in Rapid so more people could attend?
ReplyDeleteAny objections?
ReplyDeleteif no objections we will plan the meeting before the business meeting in vermillion on Friday.
ReplyDeleteLATI do you second that?
ReplyDeleteI second that
ReplyDeleteMeeting will be in Vermillion, I will find out what time is available and let everyone know.
ReplyDeleteNext order of business, mission statement. We need to come up with one by the spring meeting. If we can work on this and then come together sometime in march, lets pick a date, and then we can finalize the mission statement.
ReplyDeleteHey Heidi here, sorry I am late.
ReplyDeletegeeezzz...where you been :)
ReplyDeleteNow we are changing topics to budget, take it away Heidi.
ReplyDeleteBudget is as follows:
ReplyDeleteWe currently have $2400 in our budget.
We currently have 3 applications from the fall meeting to approve yet (all 3 for continuing ed).
We currently have 8 applications regarding Combined Section Meeting in San Diego.
We currently have 1 application for another event to approve.
So 12 applications total with varying cost.
We need to plan in our budget money for meetings, money for leadership funds, and anything else.
ReplyDeleteThe max for leadership funds is $50.
ReplyDeleteFall meeting: 2 applications for $40 and 1 for $49
ReplyDeleteCSM: Total cost for the trip was at least $550 (including registration fee and hotel and airfare)
SD Academy of Family Practice Winter Seminar cost (other application): $500
lets start then with the application for the fall meeting...what are these in reguard, what are they requesting...ect? give us the low down
ReplyDeleteI think that we should just set a standard dollar amount to give to each applicant. I don't think that the total cost of the event should figure into the decision. Could be $25 or $50 or whatever.
ReplyDeleteThe max that can be given is $50?
ReplyDeleteThere isn't actually a place on the application on how much they request. They just have a spot for how much the event costs.
ReplyDeleteFall Applications for continuing education fees. 2 applications requesting $40 and one for $49
ReplyDeletelets vote on those
ReplyDeletePrevious Budget
ReplyDeleteOfficer fund: $300
Student Leadership: $2,300
Public relations (meeting room, food, activity, fundraising start-up): $900
Legislative Fund (stamps, envelopes, paper): $100
Thanks Heidi
ReplyDeleteI vote to approve the fall requests for the amount of the money it cost to attend the class.
ReplyDeletei vote to approve
ReplyDeletei vote to approve
ReplyDeletei vote to approve
ReplyDeleteFor future reference it would have been useful to send out all the applications so everyone could look at them and justify them. So Heidi we are going with your input, so all these seem justified to receive funds through the SSIG?
ReplyDeleteSuggested Budget this year:
ReplyDeleteOfficer Fund: $100 (only used $27.50 last year)
Student Leadership: $1700
Public Relations: $500 (used $358.75)
Legislative: $100 (used $46.49)
The problem with these is that they were paper copies physically handed in to Holly and I at the fall meeting. So the only way we all would have been able to see them is by meeting as a group in person.
ReplyDeletewhat is officer fund?
ReplyDeleteYeah I understand....just future stuff to consider is all I was saying. Things to learn from past experiences...blah blha blah
ReplyDeleteRepaying the officers gas money to drive to the meeting.
ReplyDeleteI approve the budget then...and 2nds?
ReplyDelete2nd
ReplyDeleteAll in favor says yes
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteNext order of business Leadership fund allocation
ReplyDeleteAlso, everyone seemed to be on board with allocating the money to the 12 individuals. So does anyone oppose giving $50 to those who applied for greater this amount, and then the amount to those who applied for less than $50?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good to me. After approved I will talk to Dr. Hauer to cut checks and give them out.
ReplyDeleteI agree, does anyone 2nd.
ReplyDelete2nd
ReplyDeleteall in favor say yeah, all opposed say no
ReplyDeleteYAY
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteyeah
ReplyDeleteyay
ReplyDeleteWe will need to get address to Pat Hauer, for monies to be distributed. Heidi can you handle this?
ReplyDeleteNext order of business, if we want to do something at the state conference...
ReplyDeleteI will handle it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that there isn't much free time to work with as I have been trying ot figure soemthing out for the USD students. SO maybe we should just talk to Ruth and Steve and see if they need any help or if we can attend their events to socialize?
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea Lori, I will talk to Ruth and Jim to see if they need any help
ReplyDeleteI am going to email them and tell them we are going to have a SSIG meeting, but we are not going to have an individual event.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteThe mission statement would be best if we could get some ideas so we could finalize it the week of March 1st. We could all come up with ideas and then post them on here on the blog and then work from our ideas. Please have postings by march 1. We will send out an email with further ideas.
ReplyDeleteLacy,

ReplyDeleteAs far as money for reimbursement for fuel, Heidi needs leadership fund applications in order for us to be able to reimburse. There needs to be a paper trail.

ReplyDeleteShe can see what is being said but is unable to post. She will take notes
ReplyDeleteThe special olympics will be May 22nd from about 8 am to 5 pm. There may be 2 shifts to work throughout the day. One thing that was brought up by the professors is that the LATI students only be able to provide education during this, which I am pretty sure there will be opportunities for education. More information will be sent when receive it.
ReplyDeleteI will fill out a leadership fund application for the fuel
ReplyDeleteIs everyone in favor of dispersing leadership funds to individuals who attending continuing education courses.
ReplyDeleteYES

ReplyDeleteWe have 3 students who attending, we just received another form.
ReplyDeletestill vote yes to dispersing leadership funds to those 3 individuals...we need majority vote
ReplyDeleteI vote yes
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeletemy computer also sucks. I believe we need to find a better format for this. the refreshing the blog method is not working for me...

ReplyDeleteHello? Are we done?
ReplyDeleteWe will be reimbursing them for there funds then, and then do we still want to help out with Special Olympics.
ReplyDeleteYes to supporting special olympics
ReplyDeleteI cannot view any of your posts and Michelle and Laci cannot get on this blog
ReplyDeleteWell this pretty much is a waste of time then...Nicki is having trouble as well. She will just type up an email and send it out to everyone...everyone needs to respond to get the votes so Lacey has record.. Sounds good? Any questions...We'll figure out a better way for the 1st mon in June
ReplyDeletecan someone respond to let me know you got that last blog?
ReplyDeleteI think we're lost

I approve - seem like worthy events
ReplyDeleteI approve.
ReplyDeleteAs far as meeting, we need to find a different format because the blog is ineffective. Evenings will work best, no day is any better than another, so whatever works for any body else.
I approve for the distribution of the funds.
