Club revitalization and upcoming events

This is the first post for awhile and considering how busy we all are attempting to get the club up and running I will make this short and sweet. As you might be able to find on our profile, our new meeting times are Fridays at 2 p.m. in the Union by room 302. Some of the events we are planning for this, and next month, are a movie night where we will be showing GARBAGE ISLAND, taking part in the Warrensburg Earth Day Festival, trips to the local farmer's market, and promotion of our club and movie night by putting out recycling bins and talking with people about the importance of recycling. Yeah, I know, it's exciting! So if you're interested and checking this blog out to see what we're all about, write us at UCMEnviroClub@gmail.com and tell us you want to be a part of all of the fun! I will also be posting our minutes every week so you can actually READ what we're up to as well. Here is last Friday's minutes.
