September 16th Meeting Notes

Thanks to all that could come to this year's first Classics Society meeting and make it such a success! For all those who were otherwise engaged or just want to be reminded of the topics covered, here is a recap!

General Comments:  
T-Shirts -- Everyone was really on board with making new club shirts this year which is so awesome! So if you have any great ideas, please let us know soon so we can get on that project ASAP.

"Home to Ithaca" by Romare Bearden

Classics Fall Fun Day -- This day will include a tour of the Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey exhibit at the Chazen, dinner, and a gathering with food and fun (a symposium of sorts). We suggested the date of Saturday, November 2nd for this event and would love your input on the matter.
Classics Society Olympics -- This will be a long way off, but Noah brought up the great idea for doing adapted Olympics as a fun spring activity. 

Upcoming Events:
Monday, September 23rd @ 6:00pm-8:00pm* -- Study Night [2258 College Library] 
Thursday, September 26th @ 7:30pm -- Gladiator movie showing [check TITU for exact location]

*n.b. These Study Nights will be every other Monday at the same time and in the same location. We will continue to send reminders.
