Meriah The Money Handler

Meriah Don't forget to bring our money on the 4th. we are only spending that money so if you dont bring it we wont be able to get dinner or anything. Make sure that you keep all recipets from the night and update the balance at some point beofre the following club.

Tristana the Menu Queen

Hey Tristana, Can you make sure to post or text everyone what we are bringing?? Usually a week or two before club everyone calls me to ask but now that we have a new structure we all get to call you. So please let us all know what we are to bring. Keep in mind as menu coordinator you have the power to dictate our food theme and you can give ideas, suggestions or requests for certain foods. You have the power!!!

In the Garden of Beasts

Tristana, I thought this was a really good book. It was a bit dry at parts and went on and on about all the names of everyone and their brother but really it was a great insight into a part of history that our schools seem to hide. Why we only learn the few things we do about WWII, the Nazi's and the Japanese is beyond me. There is so much history withheld from our learning that books like these become so valuable. So i didn't want In the Garden of Beasts.... to go unnoticed as a good read in the club. Thanks again!!!!

OCTOBER MEETING- ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! 11/4/12

Next meeting is our ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!! This is a dress up event. We will be meeting at the Cowboy so we can carpool to SC where we will start off our event at the 515. Plan to meet at the Cowboy at 3:30. We can head to SC for a 4-4:30 start. I will be looking into the special room but no gaurantees. Julie proposed going to a resturant on mission street so that could also play into our plans. We can discuss our book: 11/23/1963 Non formal meeting- no minutes or important discussion just 5 years of greatness, future to come and the book. Then we are free to enjoy the evenings festivities.
