I would like to start by saying that the club has had a very successful week and accomplished a lot. I am really looking forward to the coming events for the club as we near the end of the semester. So many club members have been going "above and beyond" to use the cliche, and I couldn't be happier as club president to have been working with such dedicated students. A "thank you" is owed to so many of you as well as our continuously supportive advisor, Dr. Mallery, for his tireless encouragement and dedication of time to the club.
That said, I have lots of good news to report on this week. The viewing of the Pirates exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota was rescheduled at the last minute and apologies are in order for anyone who received the message while they were in transit. The good news is that we will be planning a new trip where the club will also attend a lecture by archaeologist Russell Skowronek a Marine Archeologist, Professor of History and Anthropology at the University of Texas - Pan American, he is also an author. The lecture will be a club relevant topic of "Pirates in the Archaeological Record." Please join us for the lecture Thursday, May 3, 2012, 7-8:30 p.m. The SMM is open until 9:30pm so that will allow us an hour to view the Pirates exhibit after the lecture. Plan on meeting at 6:30pm at the map on the floor in the main lobby, we will proceed to the lecture area after that. Students will be responsible for getting their own tickets, it is advised that you do this early.
The symposium is well under way and I am proud to report that we have at least seven presenters as of right now. Coffee service has been ordered for the day of and arrangements are in the work for promotional materials to advertise the event. The deadline to submit a title or subject of presentation is this Friday, March 30th. I haven't heard from any additional presenters, but I would like to propose we have all of the students involved sorted out by this friday as well. A "dress rehearsal" of the symposium will be held in CLA125, (our normal club meeting room), at 2:30pm on Monday April 16th. Anyone participating or presenting at the symposium is required to attend this, or be in contact with a club officer so that we can be assured of your attendance for the actual symposium. Volunteers are still needed for set-up and tear-down, please let a club member know if you are interested in volunteering.
We additionally still need volunteers for Stress Relief Day on Wednesday, April 18th. At our next club meeting we will be resuming entertainment from the last meeting, beginning new entertainment and the construction of some atlatls and our target for our S.R.D. game. We have additionally ordered promotional goodies which we will be handing out for prizes at this event.
A special "thank you" goes out to Stephanie for finally digitizing our club logo! We are so grateful to have her graphic design skills put to use on something we have needed so badly for so long! Thanks Stephanie for your hard work on this. The logo looks great, you can check it out for yourself on our promotional materials at S.R.D. and the Symposium. We hope to use the logo on some t-shirst very soon as well, so stay tuned..
