November 4th General Assembly Meeting
There are a few upcoming activities that we covered in last nights General Assembly meeting I would like to remind you all of:
- Our annual formal will be on April 10th from 8:00pm to 11:00pm in the PSU Ballroom East. I think you should all consider being on the Formal Committee, because it is a lot of fun and a great way to earn points.
- Induction will be on February 27th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm in the PSU Theater. We will need all the help we can get.
- Our Shoebox for Soldiers activity went great! We still need to help cover the postage cost, so if you would like toearn a point, consider donating.
- On Saturday, November 21st from 11:30am to 2:30pm, we will be working as Crosslines to prepare baskets of Thanksgiving food for people in need. More emails will go out about this later on.
- On Tuesday, November 10, we will have a movie night at The Palace. Tickets are only $1 on Tuesdays. More information about this will be available soon.
I believe that's all for now!
