Good afternoon,
This email is to remind everyone about our next meeting and most importantly, ELECTIONS! Elections will take place at our next meeting on Thursday, April 21st at 5pm in DH217. Nominations for elections are to be emailed to NIUAMS.election@gmail.com. Those who are nominated WILL be giving a short speech (basically just who you are, what year you will be next year, and why you think you will be the best candidate for this position). For those interested, positions are: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Webmaster. Nominations will be open until Wednesday, April 20th at 10pm.
Also at our meeting on Thursday, Andrew Pritchard and Walker Ashley will have videos for all of us to see of their awesome storm chasing experiences over the past years. Should be pretty cool!
For those of you helping out with Kid's Day on Saturday, May 7th, or if you just want to buy a t-shirt, we are collecting money and sizes for t-shirts. They are $15 and we would prefer to have the money by Thusday's meeting so we can get orders in so they arrive on time.
Formally, next Thursday will be our last meeting of the year. Don't forget a group of us are going to Tom Skilling's FermiLab on Saturday, April 30th at noon if anyone else is interested in going. Please let us know if you need a ride out there so we can coordinate departure times as well.
Our banquet has officially been booked! It will be Friday, May 6th (reading day) at 6pm at Lion's Park on Taylor Street. If you are heading south on Annie Glidden, instead of turning right to get into Schnucks, turn left and take Taylor Street down and the park will be on your right (not that far away from Annie Glidden). If you are unsure, let us know, we can either coordinate some rides out there or give you more specific directions. We need to have a specific count of the amount of people we expect to come, so if you have not RSVP'd on the Facebook group, send us a reply back letting us know you will be there. We will be having spaghetti for dinner and need to know how much to cook (I love leftovers, but I can't eat 8 people's leftovers in 1 day all by myself...). Preferably we would like to know within the next week or so if you will be going. This was the place of our banquet last year, so if you attended last year, you know that we will probably end up playing some football or softball after we eat (if it's nice outside, of course), so bring a change of clothes if you are dressing up and want to hang out for a bit after. I made that mistake last year and played softball in a dress...not a fun time.
I know that was a lot of information, but hopefully everything important is in there. See you next Thursday!
