Hello Lovely People!
Our first meeting of the Fall 2008 Semester will be on Wednesday, Sept. 3rd at 8:15 PM in MGC 200!
We will be serving free dinner and refreshments for everyone (Vegans included!) and be talking about different opportunities for getting involved this year.
As you probably know… the 2008 Election is coming up and representatives from different LGBT-friendly political campaigns will be stopping by and recruiting. In addition, we will be splitting up into committees – Social, Campus Life/ Advocacy, Off-Campus Involvement, and Development. If you cannot make this meeting (or Wednesdays in general), just shoot us an e-mail and each committee leader will be in touch with you so you can get involved!
