Virginia Tech Fencing Club Minutes, 11/10/04

 

My Monologue:

Wow, MACFA was last weekend, what a blast!  On behalf of the team:  Thanks a lot to the Marschners for hosting all of us!  You all are awesome!  Thanks to Jen Lin and Laura for coming along and helping!  Much thanks to Paul for armoring and keeping things running as smoothly as smooth can be during a tournament.  Also, congrats to all the guys for doing so well!

 

With the Tech Open this weekend there are a few things to say.  Firstly, practice this Friday is cancelled (on a side note, from now on practices will be cancelled by Noon that day with the exception of inclement weather) because we will be setting up in War Memorial Gym from 9:00PM until 11:00PM.  Come out and lend a hand because we need all the help we can get.  Also if you’re interested in helping during the tournament and you haven’t already done so contact Megan.  Check out her recently sent email for the details.  Remember, if you help out you get a discount on your fencing jacket!  The raffle drawing will be held on Sunday so for those of you who still have your tickets, etc. you need to get them to James ASAP!!!

 

The last of the women’s team tryouts were held tonight.  Look out for the results to be announced and posted on the website once the final decisions are made.

 

Social Events:

Mehmet is hosting a Turkish dinner/baklava social this Friday, November 12, at 6:00PM.  His apartment is located at 406 Winston Ave. Oak Bridge.  (540) 250-6424.  The plan is to relax there for a little while and enjoy the food before heading off to set up for the Tech Open.  If you plan on attending make sure you email Mehmet so he knows how many slices of baklava to make!
