Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are doing well and enjoying your classes. I just have a couple of reminders from the meeting tonight.
T-SHIRTS
~If you are interested in buying a t-shirt, or know someone who might be- we still have a lot of red t-shirts with Bucky in front of the Colosseum! 12 dollars!
CHICAGO ART INSTITUTE
~We are planning the trip for either Saturday March 20th or April 10th. Check your calendars and look out for an e-mail about voting on a day. It would be great if a lot of people can come- so be sure to vote on the day that works best for you. More information will follow, but the trip will probably cost around $20-$25 (including the van and the entrance fee and hopefully a tour)!
Be sure to look out for other e-mails and I hope to see more of you soon!!
