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!

- Our next meeting is on Wednesday, February 10 in room 2616.

- BAGS! We still need many reusable shopping bags!

- Dum-dums / smarties: we don’t need any more–thanks for bringing them in!

- Cupid’s Cookies: we’re still selling cookies!  Sales end on February 10, so be sure to bring us anything you sell by then!

- Help us make some posters to promote the fight against poverty.  We’ll have some information sheets by Friday, so stop by room 2616 to pick one up!  You’ll be able to earn several hours for quality signage!
