Super #1 Club Website --> www.filebox.vt.edu/org/fencing

Here's the latest from the WarRoom. I NEED PICTURES FOR THE FILM!! There are a few sections in the film I have open for random club pictures (as long as they are decent, they can be about anything). If you have any you're willing donate, I really need them. You can either e-mail them to me digitally, or I have a scanner for photographs.

SPRING SEMESTER DEMO/LESSONS

We're in the process of putting together the demo/lesson plans for spring semester. If you have any good ideas for the demo, let Jen know jelin@vt.edu . I was thinking something like an hour long film of the great achievements by the sergeant-at-arms.
