Party

Abbie on 11:58 AM
Okay guys,
Since most of us are absolutely broke, Lindsay and I have offered to have a cookout/party for the Honors Student Group on Sat. May 13 at our apartment. It will take place in the evening (We can hammer the details out when you all let me know the best time for you.)
Let me know what works for everyone,
Abbie

Vote Early, Vote Often

So.

We need to elect new people by the end of next week.

Please submit nominations to this address (click here), with NOMINATION in the heading.

I'll post nominations here as soon as I get them.

Okay, So Who Wants Muffins?

I think you know what I’m already going to say. Who wants Muffins?

Nobody? I didn’t think so.

We’ve had an amazing year with the Honors Student Group. I think we’ve seen just about every single damn emotion, from amazing success to abject failure. Best of times, worst of times and the like.

But we made it. This year is over. Some of us are graduating, everyone is moving on. Everyone can put an award-winning student group on their resume.

But before we head off into the great unknown, some people need to be recognized. Keep in mind these people are in no particular order, just whatever I decided to type first.

These are our awards for the year:

Alicia – Best Group Idea Creator. Katrina Relief. Obstacle Course. You do understand your efforts were the clincher for winning us the award.
Abbie – The Glue/Best Gift Bag Maker. I fell apart just before the Obstacle Course, and Abbie was the one that kept things together, kept me together. Drove me home from Toledo after the MEHA craziness. Don’t know what I would have done this year without her.
Callie – Perfect Attendance/Best Gift Bag Maker. Attended nearly every single meeting of the Honors Club, did amazing things with the Obstacle Course Gift Bags
Felix – The Life of the Party Award. You aren’t even in the Honors program, but shit if you didn’t do more than I did hanging up flyers and helping out with so many events. I’m sorry I crushed your tricycle.
Lauren – Best Secretary/Best Ticker Seller/Best Prop Owner. Lauren, where the hell would we be without those pink flags? And you actually sold a ticket. As in, someone paid money. I think that makes one person out of all of us, right?
Ryan – The Brains. Pretty much this group wouldn’t have even happened this year if Ryan hadn’t turned in the event form. He kept me and everyone on track this year, and quite literally the group wouldn’t have done one-half of the events we did this year if he hadn’t been a part.
Anna – Rookie of the Year/Best Prop Master. Kept us together with the obstacle course race. Attended nearly all of the meetings. Had amazing shoes. What more is there to life?
Travis – Best Dorm Member. Got our flyers up in the dorms. Attended nearly every movie night, coming even after working all day (I wouldn’t have even thought of making it after work).
Art – The Man, the Myth, the Engineer. Organized camping trip in beginning of year. Helped with Hurricane Katrina and even brought doughnuts. Helped diffuse some of the tensions created at MEHA.
Ross – Only Member Who Kept Us On Track/Best MEHA help. On the frantic night when we were trying to make a poster. Ross gave the group amazing ideas and helped steer us away from crapola, in addition to attending several of the movie nights.
Melissa – Best Treasurer. Let’s be honest, I have no bleeping idea how much money we have. I have no idea what our account number is. I’ve never signed a check off in my life. I can’t keep track of anything. Without Melissa, we’d be broke. Proabably dead too.
Nate – Got us what we needed when we needed it. Pelzer, Allocations, etc. I mean that: thank you man.

For better or worse I’m not going to forget this year and everything we have done. Thank you all for your help, I’m sure that I am forgetting someone, but forgive me if there has been an omission.

Let’s hear it for the honordons.



Elections are open.

A Grand Proposal

I hereby propose a grand proposal that we, the afore mentioned group, go out to a nice restaurant (or, in the case of us being broke college students, a semi-nice restaurant) and sup in the warm glow of the knowledge that we got through the year with only minor injuries and no deaths. It will be an end-of-year, end-of-an-era gala, if you will. Should anyone else find interest in this grand proposal, submit suggestions as to where and when this monumental occasion should take place. Perhaps this may also be an event that we can cunningly persuade the school to pay for in some way, though that might be reaching to far.

Just so you know

Spring Fling Obstacle Course Race?

Amazing Success.

Look for a longer post tomorrow about the Honors Student Group, this year, our work, and the meaning of life.

Okay, So Tomorrow

Meeting Monday the 17, 6:00 pm at firefly!

We are going to have two meetings this week about Spring Fling, hopefully you can make one of them:

1. First meeting this Tuesday the 11th at 12:30
2. Second meeting this Wednesday the 12th at 12:30

Meetings will be about 15:00 minutes in duration.

Hope to see you at one of them, contact me if you can't make those times.

Thanks,

Katie Casey

Great. News.

Here is some news:

You have been scheduled to present because there were only two posters
and hence the organizers thought that it might be better to give you a
session.

In a way it is easier to present. No hassle about the poster. They
said you could bring your poster and talk.
If you prefer two or three HSG members(who are fairly actively
involved) can do a joint presentation. I suggest you make it
interactive!

So, any suggestions?

The official night for making the poster is going to be Wednesday, at the Honors Center, at 8:00. Please add any suggetions/comments here.

Thanks,

Katie
