Discussion will continue at a future meeting. Items from the Suggestion Box: WGSA Officers are happy to see students utilizing the Suggestion Box in the Student Lounge.

C) Education Club Suggestion - Watch for more social opportunities, such as the Holiday Pot Luck on December 10th. Contact Colleen Doyle with more suggestions at cold21@rochester.rr.com.
