The Student Government Association voted to allocate $6,729.30 in funds to twenty-two clubs at MWCC. In addition, $500.00 was also allocated to the Green Society to purchase a new water filtration system for the school.
According to the Ways and Means Committee, each semester the clubs will receive half of their allocated budgets from the SGA to run their organizations. Due to limited resources, the SGA was only able to give out approximately 40% of what was requested by the various clubs. To receive all the allocated funds, clubs must perform two community service projects and participate in two student life training or club expositions. The clubs must also spend all of their allocated funds and raise 30% of their budget requests through fundraising.
Iris Luna, a new member, was voted in as the VP of the SGA in a unanimous vote. She will be assisting Isaac Matson who is currently the President of the SGA. The fundraising effort of the SGA to Help the Troops totaled $1,974.82 with the recent iPad raffle contributing $948.10. According to Greg Clement, MWCC is competing with other Community Colleges in the state and hopes to break the $2,000 mark for this year.
