Show What You've Got in the Next QUAC Calendar!
By popular demand, QUAC will be producing a new calendar, and just in time as the last calendar is running out of months. Planning is in the preliminary stages, but we hope to have new calendars available by Pride Weekend. if you would like your fifteen minutes of fame to last a whole month, or if you're the shy retiring type who needs to be brought out of your shell, consider modeling for the next calendar. Kevin McDaniel is in charge of the calendar, so if you are interested let him know. If you are interested, but bashful or want to be begged, also let him know and he will talk you into it.
