At the meeting, Jeff and Texel announced that the board is considering switching the date of the Jubilee to sometime in the fall and the date of the fashion show to sometime in the spring. Next week a list of pros and cons will be presented at the general meeting, and then we will put it to the vote. So be there! We need your input! If you have any further ideas regarding this issue, talk to Jeff and Texel.

There are a few people who really need volunteers and help with projects so take a look at the announcements!

Travel team members need to talk to their project managers to sort out anything that still needs to be finalized. Also, there will be no knowledge transfer meeting this week due to the student research celebration. Go check it out! A few people from EWB will be presenting some awesome projects.

Weekend Update:
· Paperwork turned in on Sunday! Thanks to everyone who helped out this weekend.

Announcements
Project update – Project Manager Chris- We’ve been calling Jackson and getting updates about what’s going on in Khwisero to get ready for this summer. Four schools have been surveyed, but unfortunately we probably won’t be able to install wells at those four this summer. However, we are finalizing which schools we will be working at this summer!
