We are asking that if anyone is going to Ithaca they help out a few hours and man the tables at the poster session where we will be advertising for NCUR 2012. The Ogden and Davis Visitor Bureau are helping at these tables also. We are going to also order shirts for everyone going to Ithaca to wear while manning these tables. There are just purple and say WSU NCUR 2012 on them.

We also discussed bringing Janie (from Montana, she was in charge of everything there for the NCUR 2010) out for our next Subcommittee meeting so people can ask her questions. Please get those ready.
