Nominations are still open for new officers! Go to this site: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2H5XWC3 to nominate. Elections will be held November 8th. All offices are open. Also read the minutes from the latest meeting below!

Do you ever get tired of campaign ads on TV? The mud-slinging, the absurd claims, the melodrama? Well, unfortunately many of the SVG officers are graduating/deploying/relocating and will not be here in the spring, so it's election time for the SVG! But luckily, you won't have to put up with any election season nonsense. No campaigns, just click on the survey found here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2H5XWC3
to nominate yourself or someone else for an SVG office. You can complete and submit the survey as often as you like to nominate individuals for various positions. The nominations are anonymous. We will vote by secret ballot at the November 8th SVG meeting at 11:00 in the Vet Center Lounge. If you would like to vote but cannot attend the meeting, contact Elizabeth Sutter (EM750370@wcupa.edu).
Also attached to this post are the minutes from our latest meeting. Scan through them for updates on all that we are doing!

Welcome to October! Highlights from today's meeting are:
1) The October 29th Military and Veteran Appreciation Day Football Game is creeping closer! We need volunteers to collect donations in the stands for the Wounded Warrior Project, and to man the information tables at the game. Contact Elizabeth Sutter (EM750370@wcupa.edu) to volunteer!
2) We will not have our regular meeting next week due to Fall Break. Instead, we will meet on Wednesday, October 12 at 11:00 AM in the Vet Center and break into teams to distribute football game flyers in downtown West Chester.
 Our meeting attendance continues to grow - we hope to see you next time!

Hope everyones Finals went well I almost died but that is for another day.....   Just to update everyone on where we are at for Drip Fest.  All the food is either being donated or at a reduced cost so we are good there.  I have worked with all of the vendors before and know there procedures for pickup/delivery well so I will take care of all of that.   As far as Drinks.  We will be serving water and soda.  I need each of you as was voted upon a few months back to begin to bring your 1 Case of Water and 1 Case of Soda to the Vet Center. If Lawrence is not here the secretary up front has a key she will let you in and you can just leave it in the office space.  EVERYONE is expected to contribute.  Please make this happen so I don't need to hunt you all down individually.  Feel free to bring any of the following soda's Coke Diet Coke Sprite Dr Pepper Pepsi Diet Pepsi.  I try to limit to these choices I have found that these cover about 95% of requests.   Attached you will also see a preliminary packing list for the event.  If you notice anything missing let me know.  Also if you can provide any of the stuff that would also help.   Finally I also need to here back about your individual availability for the day. We need maximum support in this.  We intend on being there from about 10-3 this includes setup and tear down.  Again please get back to me so I don't have to hunt everyone down.
