•	“Reel” Dynamics of Affluence: Movie Night
On Monday, February 23, 2009, we will be watching Philadelphia and discussing the Paradox of Affluence as it relates to wellness in our society. We are looking forward to a lively discussion following the movie. Please come join us. We will meet in Building 2, Room 202. Please bring snacks to share and your own beverage. 
Feel free to invite non-chapter members to participate as well. 
•	Wanted:  2009-10 Chapter Officers
Do you want to help lead one of the world’s greatest Phi Theta Kappa chapters? If so, consider running for a chapter office. Applications are online at http://www.lanecc.edu/ptk/Officer%20Application.rtf 
Applications are due at the May 4 chapter meeting, and candidates are encouraged to speak to the general membership. Elections will be held following the candidate presentations.
If you have questions, please ask Velda.
•	Wanted:  2009-10 Regional Officers
At the regional conference in May, chapters will be voting on regional officers. This is an excellent opportunity for you. If you will be enrolled at Lane through the academic year, consider running. The leadership trainings will be very helpful. 
Our hope is to have at least the regional president and communication officer positions be held by Lane students. Ask Velda if you are interested.
•	February Board of Education Meeting
Our chapter “ogre”d the Board on Wednesday, February 18. It was a great way to display our latest fundraising effort and have some fun with the board members. If you would like the ogre routed a particular direction, please come by and make your donation.
