01 October: BOARDgames, not BOREDgames

by Linh Lu on

Hi everyone!

We've got boardgames this week to break up the studying stress and to provide a little good ol' fun and competition in Athabasca Hall starting at 5:00pm. If you have class during our meeting, feel free to meet us in RATT after 6:30pm for some eats and drinks! As a heads up, mention you're with OUTreach and you'll get 10% off your food at RATT. Post your best foodie pictures from RATT on instagram or twitter and tag @UofAOutreach!

We'll also have s'more updates on our Bi-Election for a COORDINATOR position on the Executive. Perks include a fancy nametag, a huge thumbs up from the community, and having a hand in making this one of the best years OUTreach has had. For more details, please check the Constitution!

One last announcement: Kyler, will be hosting an LGBTQ* in Residence Survey! Details are below.

Time: October 4, 4PM
Where: Alberta Room in Lister Centre
Who: Kyler Chittick, Siderite Coordinator
Kyler is hosting an LGBTQ* in Residence survey. Past and present residents at the UofA are welcome to come and fill out a sheet about their experiences in residence.

Hope to see you at this weeks meeting and don't forget to tweet photos of your meals at RATT!

See you on Tuesday at 5 in Athabasca!
