Mentor/Volunteer Orientation change

Sorry for the change, but we have to move the mentor/volunteer orientation to a new day.  We will offer it on two different days.  Tuesday 9/27 and Thursday 10/6.  Both will be at 7pm still.  We are trying to get the lecture hall.  If that doesn't work, we will meet in C203.  Thanks for your understanding.

Expo 2011

Dear CHS Engineering Booster Club Members,

     EXPO 2011 is fast approaching and we need your help in making it as successful this year as it has been in the past. Gary Kidwell, the EBC Webmaster, has posted a mysignup page on the EBC website for those of you interested in getting involved and helping out with the event. I have included two links to the sign up page for your convenience. There are numerous opportunities for you to contribute, so please visit the site and sign up early so we can begin coordinating volunteers.

     I would also like to mention that we are continuing to receive very favorable responses to the "call for help" questionnaire that was e-mailed two weeks ago. Many of you have indicated that you would be interested in helping out with the EXPO, hospitality, grants etc. We will be organizing a volunteer meeting in the very near future to discuss plans for getting you engaged in your expressed areas of interest. I will be in touch with more details as they become available.

     Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and thanks in advance for your help and participation in making EXPO 2011 a huge success.

Best Regards,

Kevin L. Cowan

CHS EBC, President

Parade

We had a great time at the homecoming parade.  This was the first year we were able to get all of the teams together for it.  The MATE Team did a great job with the mock-up and bubble machine.  Everyone had a blast and the weather was perfect.  Thanks to all the parents and supporters who showed up and cheered for us.  A huge thanks to David Gill for towing the trailer for us!  See you in December at the Christmas Parade of Lights.
