They suggested that a survey be done to determine how many would be in-terested in this benefit. Job security for the staff has not been reviewed. One will roll over to next year's committee.

Personnel leave for blood donation.
In one of our committee meetings, we discussed that student organizations have blood drives frequently. Barbara Ross has agreed to have the Union Reservation Specialist to reserve a space down in the Union. She will contact Bill Sutley so he can put it in the Update. It will also go on USM Talk. I have forwarded the action item to Personnel to see if they will allow leave time to donate blood.
