Great Semester!

Hey Everyone,

I just want to thank you for making this such a successful semester for MEMO! We are on the right path to becoming a leading student group on campus. We have big plans for the fall semester and I look forward to working with everyone again. Make sure you keep a look out for meeting times as the fall semester draws closer. For those of you asking about t-shirts there was a complication and a new design will have to be created.

If you would like to take more of a leadership role within MEMO please let Dave Martinez (david.martinez@colorado.edu) or I know. I am currently in Italy studying abroad this summer but can always be contacted through email.

Thanks Again!

Before joining Hoy, Fernando was ChicagoNow.com's community manager for news and opinion, where he contributed to the site’s success by creating dynamic content as well as recruiting a diverse base of bloggers; including crafting a post that generated 2.3 million page views.

Potluck

Thanks to everyone who attended the potluck! We had a lot of good food and had fun watching Tropic Thunder!!

Community Service Opportunity

Hey Everyone!
I spoke with someone from La Raza and they could use our help next Saturday.
That is the 24th! We would have to go to the Auraria Campus and the hours would
be 7 to 4! There are going to be a number of things for us to help with for
example: Registration, workshop monitoring, security, education fair, evaluation
and distributing lunch! Please let me know if you are available to help and if you
are interested ASAP! I was supposed to have the list of people for her today but I
did not receive this information until today and I knew that everyone would need it
before committing! If you could help it would be a great opportunity and I think it
could be really fun! Please reply either tonight or early tomorrow!
Thank you,
Nicole Sandoval
