Help needed for accepted student parent coffees 
Saturday, March 9th PFLASA is hosting 2 coffees in the LBJ/LASA library (10-11:30am and 1-2:30pm) for parents of accepted students. The goal of the coffees is to share information, answer parents' questions, etc., so we'll need  volunteers. Please signup here if you can help set up, greet, and/or visit with parents of accepted students.  Students are welcome, but the focus is on having parents of current students available to talk with parents of accepted students.
