PICTURES FOR FENCING FILM
I know you have pictures, and I need them for the fencing video. They can be of whatever theme, as long as they are a)of people in the club b)do not involve alcohol, drugs, yadda , yadda. I have a scanner if the picture is not already in digital format. My connection is a bit slow, so if they're in digital format it would be best to burn them to a cd. E-mail me if you can donate to 'the cause'. rwemhoff@vt.edu
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. Rumor also has it that Jess is making a survey for all those newbies from last semester. You will be hunted down for your opinion.
ALUMNI TOURNAMENT
Alright folks, the most anticipated event of the year is almost upon us; and no, I'm not talking about my birthday (though it's a good guess). (4/26-27) will be the 2nd annual VTFC Alumni Tournament.
Here's the tentative schedule
Saturday
900 am - Individual Tournaments Begin
800 pm - Alumni Banquet - TBA, Fencing Film Premiere
Later - Social at Ryan's HOUSE, emphasize house = more space than last year...
Sunday
1000am - Teams Tournament Begins
Banquet Info Plates for the dinner will be $30. Entry fee for the fencing tournaments is $10 for the weekend. So, plan on having $40 handy if you want to join in on everything...Any questions? contact any officer.
SPRING CLUB MEETING
On March 17, we'll be having another club meeting, complete in all its glory. In addition to all the other festivities, we'll be reviewing any changes which may be needed to the constitution. Read through the club's constitution and notify me, rwemhoff@vt.edu , if you think something should be changed. Do this before the meeting so we can review it ahead of time.
JACKETS
If you would like a VTFC jacket (Jen and Jess especially love them), they will be offered for a discount next fall semester to you if you help volunteer at either the Alumni Tournament or '03 Tech Open. Remember, you will only receive a discount if you help out.
FUNDRAISING
Ok folks, lots of expenses during the upcoming semester (i.e. NCCFC). We need some ideas on club fundraisers. If you think you have a good idea let Jessica know jeball5@vt.edu .
EVENT PICTURES
The web monkey is looking for pictures from events, whether it be a social or team event or whatever. He may just give you a banana if you help him out. amarschn@vt.edu
