Hey Animal Science Club!

First of all, we forgot to mention it at our last meeting, but if you will be here this Winter, please email me (jesshall@udel.edu) and let me know. Depending on the number of members who are still around, we might try to hold a few meetings/activities during Winter Session.

Secondly, if you're going to Regionals, make sure to drop off your check for $55 (made payable to Animal Science Club) in our mailbox in 104 TNS by Wednesday!

Third: Jen Puttress looked up the guidelines for submission of a scrapbook to the National Block and Bridle. Please take a look at the requirements (attached below) and email Jen (jenp@udel.edu) with your opinions. She would like to work on our scrapbook over Winter break, so she needs to know if she should make it in accordance to the BB guidelines, or if we want our scrapbook to be more of a personal-picture-album-type scrapbook. So please let Jen know which you prefer!

And lastly, those of you who signed up for our Longwood Gardens trip, don't forget that we will be leaving from the Russell parking lot at 5pm this Wed, Dec. 7th! Any last minute cancellations/sign-ups for Longwood Gardens should be directed to Carolyn at cschnek@udel.edu.

Thanks, guys! And good luck with your last week of classes!
