Second, this Saturday is our first Community Service event of the semester, the American Heart Association Heart Walk. The event will take place from 9-11, meeting in the back of the Chateau Hotel & Conference Center parking lot. Sandwiches will be provided upon completion of the walk. There will be plenty of room for parking, but if you need/would like a ride we will have an officer to meet you at the SFHB Parking Lot on University at 8:30. You MUST contact Maria if you need a ride (msalova@ilstu.edu) no later than Friday night. It would also be great if you could contact her if you are attending the event, so we know exactly how many people to expect. The officers will be wearing our 2011 AMA T-Shirts, so if you would like a shirt they will be available for $16.

Anyone may show up to apply for a director position for next year. For those of you who are interested in a leadership position next year please come to a meeting this Wednesday at 7pm in COB 149!  We will have a director round table (so yes, directors this means you should be there) so come by and gain some insight into the different tasks each director does.  Remember, having a leadership position will look great on your resume and it will give you something to talk about in interviews!!  We hope to see many of you there!

Details:The presentation will be from 12:00pm – 1:00pm.

 We will be able to purchase food from the cafeteria downstairs (It’s yummy – I promise. Personal recommendation goes to the wrap line!) If we choose to do so, I recommend arriving at 11:30 to make sure we have time and are able to sit down. We can choose to have a combination of members bringing lunch and buying.

Ashley Olson will meet you all at the front entrance (1701 N. Towanda Ave.) at the designated time and bring you downstairs. If you arrive before she does, her extension is 3440. Or she may be in the Annex, whose extension is 6343.

Please contact Gabbie DePoister gedepoi@ilstu.edu  if you are planning on coming
