Hello everyone, your friendly neighborhood Community Outreach Chair checking in. Due to the success of the previous FLOW events, we will be doing another river bank clean-up with them. This is a great opportunity to give back to the community, as well as to get service credit for other clubs/organizations. We will meet at the Union at 12:30 PM to carpool over to the event. Be sure to RSVP (click "Going" on this event) by January 25th so that we can be sure that we have enough transportation for everyone.
In addition to this event, I was considering organizing a group for MLK day of service next week. Additionally, Sunday February 10th there is the possibility for another FLOW event. However, this is the same weekend as Buckeyethon. I will be putting out a poll in Facebook to gauge interest for these events. Stay tuned in the Facebook group/website for more details.
BuckeyeThon totals for shift selection will be taken on January 17th! Donate ASAP to help our BuckeyeThon team get their preferred shifts! Follow this link to donate: https://myfundraiser.osu.edu/site/TR/BuckeyeThon/BuckeyeThon?pg=team&fr_id=1190&team_id=3661
Spiritwear will be handed out to those who ordered previously this Tuesday and Thursday at practice. Please Facebook message Nicole Nazar if you need to pick up at another time.
Elections for next year are officially scheduled! We will be holding elections in the Union Senate Chamber from 5pm-10pm on March 1st. We will be providing food and drinks for the event! Nomination forms will come out later in the semester
