Heroic Springfielders!

Thank you all for coming out to the meeting last night! There was an awful lot to digest, especially without the Powerpoint (thanks technology!), so here's a little summary of what's going on in and around THONvelope Land:

• We had an epic canning weekend total! Drumroll please...a little louder...$36,162.01 - a new single-weekend record! Thank you to all 100 of you who braved the elements to go canning (also a record, for the record), and get ready for epic canning weekend number two on December 4 - only 33 days away!


• The annual Pizza Eat-Off is coming up! Next week's meeting will be held in Simmons Dining Hall at 8:30 p.m. for the eat-off. Sign up with Claire (clairexu89@gmail.com) for a whole pizza or half pizza to compete. Dollar slices will also be available for less hungry non-competitors!


• The Family Carnival starts on Nov. 15 at noon in the White Building! There is no better opportunity to hang out with our families on campus and meet tons of other Four Diamonds families, too! If you weren’t able to sign up last night, you can still sign up for our PassList which is the only way you will be able to attend the Family Carnival. We have 80 spots for the event and if you want to sign up you can e-mail Jeff (jcs5207@gmail.com) by Thursday, Nov. 5.


• Our next social will be the Apartment Crawl on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 10 p.m. It's going to be epic - if you are interested in participating, e-mail Hannah (hmwoytowicz@gmail.com) and let her know. And definitely let her know if you can host one of the stops at your apartment!


• Please check out these two links below as well. The first one is a link to the group to sign up for the Memorial 5K for Jon Quigley and Emily Trump. This 5K is a way for us to remember and honor Em and is definitely something great to participate in. The second link is to a group for our Springfield Families with some information on what they’ve been up to.

• Obviously, I can't let a day go by without mentioning THONvelopes and our epic raffles! Don't forget, we need to populate Vinay's THONvelope Land (maybe that should be one word?) and we need to make sure that everyone we know hears about the Pittsburgh Steelers Raffle and the Penn State Football Raffle!


• And, as promised, here's last night's Powerpoint with the epic artist's rendering of THONvelope Land!

Sign up for EVERYTHING, and see you all next week!

FTK!
