Activities Fair & A Few Clarifications

I hope everyone is having a great first week, we've been doing quite well with the Drake Dems so far. The Activities Fair last night went very well; we actually had more people sign up this year than last year (despite not having any big elections coming up). So we're all very excited that we're going to have a great year with a lot of new students getting involved.

We nearly sold all of the buttons we had left over from next year and we know that there's still a lot of people who want some. We will try to make more before the Ice Cream Social to sell then, but we may just not have enough time - we'll make more for sure in the next few weeks though. If you didn't see them last night, check out the fundraising section on the Drake Dems website.

Now importantly - a clarification on e-mail communication: just because you got an e-mail from the Drake Democrats facebook group for the ice cream social, doesn't mean you're on the Drake Democrats e-mail list. We're using facebook to advertise events, but there's also a lot of important stuff that will be in the e-mails that you won't get through facebook. So sign up for the official e-mail list at the social, or e-mail ptr003@drake.edu with your name and e-mail address.

Hope to see you all Saturday at 3:00! And for first-year students who may not know what Pomerantz is, it's the stage area in the Olmsted building where they've been having the poster sale the last few days.
