1) General Interest

WEDU Needs Us!  Mon, 11/30, 6:30-10:30pm
Once again, WEDU has asked us to help them in their upcoming pledge drive.  The work is easy, they feed us well, and we laugh a lot while we're there.  We always have a good time.  I need a team of 14 to accompany me to WEDU's studio in Tampa.  We'll arrange carpools soon.  Please let me know if you are interested in joining us for this fun-filled field trip.  If you are interested in joining us, please send an email to the Club Secretary.  It would be helpful if you tell us in your email if you can be a driver, or if you would prefer to ride with someone, AND roughly the geographic area you are in.
