Women’s Rugby
The Women’s Rugby team requested a transfer of funding from their transportation funds to registration funds. They have had a surplus of transport funds this year due to the unusually high numbers of home games and lack of tournament attendance. They requested the transfer in order to pay for other events, such as getting team members certified at a referee clinic and getting others coach certified. A full transfer of funds was proposed and passed unanimously.
Swarthmore Society of Engineers
The Swarthmore Society of Engineers requested funding to complete their yearly April Fool’s prank. The Society gave SBC a list of supplies they will need, and although funding typically isn’t given without two weeks notice, full funding was proposed and passed unanimously.
