Hey Everyone!

Last night we had a short meeting, here's what's going on.  Emmie, Lance and Erin are going to the SGA meeting to try and get money to get an advertising kiosk for our new building.  Emmie has lots of information on that if your more interested.

We also talked about Susan Hollinder coming from the Miami Art School.  She will be here Oct 20,21st.  You all are encouraged to go to her workshops and such.  On that Tuesday ( 20th) is her presentation from 6-7.  Also from 2-5 is her open house.  Her schedule is like this 2-3 are portfolio critiques, and from 3-5 open questions.

Think about one day trips for this semester, Atlanta, Cincinatti, Louisville, Alabama, Nashville.  Keep ideas coming in.  Also if you know anyone that works at an Ad agency in any close by cities, keep those in mind as well.   Keep thinking of big trips for next semester as well.  Were looking big, but remember big equals expensive.  Some ideas that were thrown out were La, San Fransico, New York, Chicago (again), Miami and St. Louis.

Our next meeting is going to be at Rafferty's at 6:30.
