the campus club report
At our weekly meeting, the MIS Club discussed plans for several up
coming events.
A Christmas Party was tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 8.
Members will receive more details at the next meeting.
For the Christmas Bazaar, held Dec. 2-4, our club plans to sponsor a
“Candy Cane Sale”. Students may purchase a candy cane or order one
sent to a friend with a personal message attached. Delivery will be done
on campus; in the dorms and apartments. Any members interested in
helping out should sign-up at our next meeting.
A tour of the AMSCO computer center is also being planned for early
December.
Members are reminded that any candy bar money still outstanding
should be turned in to one of the club officers as soon as possible.
