Hope you haven’t forgotten about our website!  Things have been pretty crazy lately, so please forgive the scarce web activity..

Anyway, here are a few updates that you may want to think about.  We’re going to send all officers a note tomorrow, but here’s the information as well:

- Cougar Day: on Saturday, we need a 8 volunteers to help out at Cougar day–4 at 11:45, and 4 at 1:15.  Let us know in room 2616 if you’d like to help out!  Sign up with some friends too!

It’s that time again to begin thinking about our Second Annual T-Shirt Design Contest!  You have the chance to use the internationally recognized symbol for recycling and incorporate that into a t-shirt design!  The top three designs will earn their creators a gift card to the store of his/her choice.

Let us know if you need more information, or download the information packet here.  You can find this information outside of room 2616 at the Student Council Information table.
