*** EYH/GEMS ***
One of our biggest service activities for this semester is the Girls Exploring Math and Science (GEMS) conference (formerly Expanding Your Horizons). The event is this Saturday, October 13th. Close to 400 girls will be arriving so we are asking for as much help as possible. Shifts are from 7AM to 11AM, 8AM to 12PM, and 12PM to 4PM. Once you arrive, please go to the SGA office on the second floor of the Student Center to check in and then again to check out after your shift. If you signed up to work a workshop, please come about 30 minutes before the workshop actually starts to find out what you will be doing. An email with the workshop assignments will be sent out soon. Other than that, t-shirts and lunches will be given out to volunteers. We just ask that you wait until the girls get their lunches and shirts first. There should be enough of both, but we just want to be sure. If food does run out, we'll order pizza. If you have an questions or comments, please let Sonia Savani know.
*** Co-Rec Flag Football ***
Congrats AED Football players on your first win. We are hoping for more wins, so players come out to practice. It's held on Sundays at 6PM on the field above the track. Just remember that players who show up to practice will get priority playing time. AED Members should also come out to support the team!! The bigger the cheering section, the better!!!
