Fall Meetings Begin: Record Attendance!

Huge Crowd for the 1st Fall Meeting

Meetings have started up for fall quarter and our hard recruit during recruitment has definitely paid off.  Our 1st meeting was a lot of fun, but also really productive.  We had a bridge building competition using only newspaper and tape.  Even with limited time, some groups were able to manage holding up things as heavy as a laptop.  New members and returners alike also got updates on all the projects.  (Burere's design is completed and submitted to EWB-USA for review-stay tuned for more on that)  We also got an unveiling of the new EWB T-shirt design for the 2010-2011 school year(also, look for a more detailed blog post with pictures of the design).  At the end of the meeting, all the members split up into committees and began planning for the new year.

Mark Talking about the Education Committee at the 2nd Meeting

Even more exciting was probably the second meeting, which had just as many, if not more people come to it, even without Welcome Week advertisements, a fun game, or even the promise of free food.  At our 2nd meeting, Mark Schutte explained the progress of the Education Committee, the new committee that was formed this year which will take on new initiatives and reimagine those previously performed by our Health and Culture committees.  With an expanded group size, and a great start to the quarter, it's looking to be a great year for EWB!
