Hello everyone,

We’ll be hosting our second General Meeting in the CS Undergraduate Lab, SCI 254 on Wednesday October 7th 2009

On it we will discuss our upcoming trip to Mountain View to the Computer History Museum on Furlough Friday the 23rd and other plans for the near future.

Also on our agenda is a chance to gain feedback and responses from our members on what ACM should be focusing on as a goal, or expectations on future actions.

Please let us know if you would like to attend but Wednesday afternoons are not particularly good times to host general meetings. The plan is to host Novembers meeting on Tuesday or Thursday to accommodate those excluded by scheduling conflicts.

Chicken Katsu (XL Platter this time), Fried Rice, Vegetarian Spheghetti, and Potato Salad.

Drinks include Soda and Water.
