Social (Krista Frater)

For the birthday party this term, we decided to go ice skating at Memorial Park! We'll be going soon -- plan on 6th or 7th week.

We're going to have a sleepover/movie night/pajama party at either the library or the rec center on Thursday, February 10th. It's during reading period, so no one will have class on Friday. If you have any ideas for activities, snacks, etc. contact Krista at x7562!

The next meeting will be Monday, Jan. 31st at 6 pm in Downer Room C. Everyone is welcome! (Come on! Put in your two cents!)
