Fundraising: You can print out extra Plant Sale forms from our website at http://copland.udel.edu/stu-org/ansci/. We really need to get on the Plant Sale at full force, so put them in faculty's mailboxes, talk to your professors, ask the teacher's aides, bug your friends and family, etc. The Plant Sale forms will be due on Wed. 5/10 morning (you can put them in the ANSC Club mailbox in 104 TNS). However, if you already have them, please bring them in at next week's meeting. Although people can pay for the plants when they hand in the forms, money is due at pick-up on Thurs 5/11.

Social: If you have not signed up already, please email Robert at rcgood@udel.edu if you want to go to the Banquet. Also, include in your email whether you want Chicken Marsala or Asian Stir Fry Veggies for your meal. The cost of Banquet is $10 for active members or $19 for non-active members. All guests invited by the Club (i.e., alumni, our advisors, Richard, Larry, Dr. Emara, Dr. Kung, Scott, etc.) will be covered by the Club. The Banquet starts at 5:30pm, but we will be meeting at 5pm in the Russell parking lot to drive over. As a reminder, the Banquet is on May 10th at Timothy's. And please, if you have not already done so, email one of the officers with awards that you would like to give your fellow members at Banquet.
