SWaG Meeting Reminder... Tomorrow 10/15!!

[Julie]

So I am obviously not back into the swing of the school year yet and
it just dawned on me that I had not sent a meeting reminder or call
for agenda items. Better late than never…

This is a reminder that the next SWaG meeting is TOMORROW, Thursday,
10/15, at 3:00 in the Scott Hall, lower level conference room. If you
have agenda items for the meeting, please send them to me by the end
of today. If you are unable to attend this meeting, please let me
know. And, if there are contact updates for SWaG distribution, please
notify me as well.

Looking forward to seeing you all.
Julie

Hi Julie,

It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to the meeting today. My
apologies. Not much to report other than a couple updates to the website
mostly the ones you sent me.

Also, a company is trying to get us to do eco hangars and the eco reps are
probably going to take this adventure on. Basically it is another avenue
that helps educate students about energy and water conservation.

The eco rep program is going well and I'll put our minutes below this
message for your reading pleasure. The Global Architecture Brigade came to
the meeting to talk about an opportunity to build eco houses in panama. I
attached their info in case you wanted to spread the word. Sorry again, ~Tre
