It's on April 2-3, 2011 and raises money for the American Cancer Society. We'll be doing a bunch of fundraisers in the near future such as a potluck, Applebee's Dine to Donate night, and a silent auction. We're currently looking for items for the silent auction. If you want to help gather them, keep an eye out for an e-mail explaining when we'll be going to local businesses seeking donations. Also start thinking of ideas for the no talent/talent show that will take place during the VUSIT overnight. It's a fun way to geek out and have a good time with your fellow met majors.

Vice President:
The Great Lakes Meteorology Conference is March 26, from 10AM-7PM at Strongbows. It's a great opportunity to meet with some highly influential meteorologists and learn a lot about what you can do with your meteorology degree. Tickets are $50 ($45 for anyone who has never gone to the Conference before) and you can purchase them here: http://www.valpo.edu/student/nwa/conference/registration.php
The night before the Conference, there will be an informal talk in KCH with one of the speakers. Pizza will be provided before hand.

President:
We'll be inviting local schools to join us at the Conference; feel free to invite any other meteorology majors you may know. The national AMS Conference in Seattle went well. If anyone has questions about what it was like, please talk to Lisa or anyone else who went. If you didn't go this year, try going next year in New Orleans; it's a great way to network! Fermi lab is April 30 and a group of us will probably be going together. Hosted by Tom Skilling, Fermi lab is a day of weather talks in Chicago with a focus on severe weather. Best of all, it's free!

Meeting End: 11:26AM
