Hello Chem Club Members,

Dr. Ball will be posting a sheet on his office door for people to stop by and indicate their preferred meeting times for the club. 

Here is how it will work;  All Chem club members should stop by and indicate the times that they CANNOT attend meetings by blocking out the given times that they are not available for such meetings.  When all have done so, there is hope that there will be some empty time slots during the week. 

These time slots will be the ones that are chosen to be the club meeting times.  We are shooting for an afternoon slot, and a morning slot. 

We are also shooting for meetings to occur like this: Two meetings in a week, (one morning, and one afternoon).  And, for there to be Two monthly meeting cycles.  So, approximately every other week we can meet, and twice in that weekly cycle. 

We feel this would give the vast majority of members the opportunity to attend.  Your attendance is encouraged, as we have a lot planned for this upcoming year.  And everyone’s ideas are valued.  The meetings will always be posted here, under the calendar of events.  This way you can see well in advance of when they are.

So, please, everyone who can,  make an effort to stop by this week and cross off the times when you aren’t available, so that we can begin with the schedule.

Thanks,

James King
