Banquet Recap

  • Evan – Went pretty well, people thought it was fun
  • People left close to the end before it was finished ( a lot of minor roles left)
  • We were under the impression that it would be served
  • Some people liked the buffet though

Committee Updates

NAPS

Social

  • Idea for next semester:
  • Running club that runs 2 or 3 times a week
  • 5K mid April
  • Heather knows how to sanction a 5K and it wouldn’t cost much at the end
  • Could invite the entire school as well
  • Need to nail down logistics for this because in the past, 5K’s have failed to occur because of administrative reasons.
  • Considering giving a shirt to anyone that finished the race
  • Cake Walk (Ruth) (Thursday the 19th)
  • Called Costco today to ensure they have enough cheesecake
  • Emailed Terry about picking up the cheesecake instead of cookies for Thursday

Fellows
