Hello advisors and student leaders! The spring conferences are quickly approaching and we wanted to let you know about a cool opportunity to showcase your club. During conferences (from 12-7 on March 6), you and your club can have a table in the cafeteria to promote and showcase your club and what you do. If you choose to showcase your club, please make sure that you have people from your club to be at the table to answer questions.

Advisors, I don't have all of the student leaders on this e-mail, so please help spread the work. Please let me know if you plan on showcasing your club on March 6th.

Thanks,

Ms. Stokes
