Academic Announcements:

On Monday 14 November there will be a general info meeting for everyone interested in auditioning for the musical, Guys and Dolls! ...Sigh, remember when men were guys and women were dolls? Us neither, but it's one heck of a fun show! The meeting is today after school in the theatre, and auditions are the Monday after Thanksgiving break. If you cannot attend the meeting, all info will be on the callboard outside of 146!

Club Announcements:

Hey students, ever wonder how you can help folks less fortunate than you in other countries? Tomorrow during International Week there will be an International Market in the front lobby where you can buy goods from Uganda, South Africa, the Congo and Rwanda - just to name a few. The prices are very reasonable and go directly to the women and children who make the goods. So, bring a little extra spending money on Tuesday and spend it for a worthy cause, while getting an amazing product in return!
