BROOMBALL -- Would you like to try broomball at the very end of the semester so we don't lose so many of our seniors?  We don't have to announce new board at that event.  It could simply be a celebration of the end of our season/semester.  We could try for that Friday, Saturday or Sunday after finals.  Sunday will probably be easier to book and it seemed to work OK last year.  


Board Feb 2 (Tuesday) 
NEW BOARD INFO MEETING Feb. 4 (Thursday)
NEW BOARD APPLICATIONS DUE Feb. 9 Tuesday
INTERVIEWS would be Feb. 8-12.  Decision and poster delivery would be prior to Broomball if you want to include new board announcement in that event.  Then Broomball would be Feb. 19, 20, 21.  Sunday is easier to book.
