EVENTS MADNESS!

In case you haven’t noticed, a lot of events have been added lately.  Familiarize yourself with the calendar on the right and the events tab.  Definitely make it out to this weekend’s “March Madness”, it will be a good time.

Other than that, keep checking as summer approaches lots of new events will be coming up.  Low on Doh?  Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of free events to attend, especially parades, as the season comes near.  Also don’t forget that by hanging around with the YRs, and helping out some of these local candidates, you’ll often get invited to unique events.

So keep checking up, if you’re new, don’t worry… I started out as new too.

Shirts!

Everyone, shirts (polos) are in!   I will be at the meeting tomorrow to distribute, if you did not order one I have extras, they are 20 dollars.

Alternatively, Demetra will not be able to make it tomorrow night, although she has sponsored pizza for us and assured us she will make it in the next few months.  So bad news- no Demetra, good news- Pizza.

Hope to see you all tomorrow night!

Dillard Concedes, Brady Wins

Its official, 193 votes may decide the next governor of Illinois.  That’s less than one vote per precinct.  Still think your vote doesn’t count?

-Brian

Don’t forget, meeting this tuesday!  Demetra Demonte!

Upgrades to the Website

If you haven’t noticed, we’ve been doing some renovation lately.  We’ve put up the the scrolling picture, the events calendar, tweaked the category names and the background colors, and put up the video.  Of course, we’re always looking for ways to improve.  Be sure to send an email to the staff if there’s something you would like to see, or just merely to say if you like it.
