Good news everyone! I spoke to Bill Wallace today and he will be our keynote speaker for our banquet. His bio is attached to this email. Next steps: I will speak to the dean's office about having him come here. He will not charge us a fee to speak, but ew need to provide airfare and accomodations. I will go to UVM print and mail to create an invitation and tickets. We will need to create a budget for the banquet to determine how much to charge to attend. If you know of anyone who would like to attend; please let me know and we can add them of the list to mail too. Ryan - How do things look wtih PR in the Burlington Free Press? Can I attend the meeting with Dan Harvey? We are registered for the Homecoming parade where our "float" will be us carrying the kayak and the members will be going into the crowds selling raffle tickets. The more poeple we have and the more excited we are, the better we will do. There are cash prizes for best floats.
