Next Week's Meeting (January 21st)

Due to an occupied Fellows' Lounge, next week's meeting will be held  
in the regular part of the Saybrook Dining Hall. The current plan is  
to hold the meeting at the back, near the Fellows' Lounge.

Firecracker, the Lunar New Year party, is coming up quickly! Details  
have yet to be fully ironed out, but it will occur on either the 24th  
or the 31st of this month. Come to this week's meeting to take part in  
planning and preparations!

T-shirt Designs

Following the grand tradition of What The Pho, and What the Heo, we're
