Back Again!

Hello friends! 

killer cokeHope you enjoyed your summer and got lots of rest and relaxation because we have a lot to do this semester!  Our first meeting is going to be next Tuesday, September 2, at 8pm in the CPE office.  We’ll be discussing Radical Rush, what role we want to play in the elections, the expiration of the Coca-Cola contract on campus and what that means for us, as well as board membership and co-directorship.

This should be a really exciting semester, so I hope everyone can make it out for our first meeting.  If not, send me an email with what days and times are good for you and we could possibly re-work the meeting times based on everyone’s schedule.

See you Tuesday,
Sarah SK
