Thankyou to all who helped participate/setup for the demo. As a reminder, for the next six weeks, practices on Monday and Wednesday from 730-830 are allotted for beginner's class. For all club veterans, please come out and assist when lessons start at 730.

We've heard from a couple of people that the banquet prices are a bit high this year. We're in the process of trying to find a way to lower the prices. However, because of the large group expected we have reserved a room and a catering service (this results in a slightly more expensive meal). More to come shortly...

The mob has spoken...Lasertag next Friday (2/7). Social to follow lasertag at my house. Ride info & time info soon to come...

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

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.

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.

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 .

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
