ASSASSINS
Just a reminder to be smart and responsible, be safe, and have fun! The games have begun folks.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
BUSTies
Now, the most wonderful time of the year, BUSTies season, is still a ways away. BUT we need hosts!
If you’re interested in hosting BUSTies, please come to Eboard on January 26 at 6PM prepared with a theme, some jokes, and a plan to “audition”.
**If you have an questions about any special projects, would like to host, perform, or donate items for auction for our TA Event, or would like to host BUSTies, please contact our VPSP Lauren at kolodkin@bu.edu for further details or questions!**
Stage Troupe’s Library is now open!
If you’re looking to expand your theatre knowledge or pitch a show next semester, Troupe now has a library for you to browse and check things out! Or, if you have a bunch of plays laying around and would like to donate to place where they will be loved, Troupe’s library is definitely an option! For further details or to check out or donate works, please contact our President, Ilana at iberman@bu.edu or VP, Emily at ejmck@bu.edu.
Lastly, it is with a heavy heart that we must report the unfortunate resignation of our beloved Treasurer. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, Hanna will not be able to continue in her position with us this Spring, which means an opportunity has opened up for one of you, our wonderful membership, to step up! Hanna will be with us in the interim and available for guidance for the incoming Treasurer, so have no fear. Nominations and elections for Treasurer will take place simultaneously at our Second GM on February 9, 2014 at 7PM. If you are interested and have any questions about the situation or the duties of the Treasurer, please don’t hesitate to contact Hanna at hwass@bu.edu.
You made it! The first recap is always the longest, so congratulations and thanks for reading.
