Meeting Tuesday 4:15

At our last meeting, we decided that Tuesday at 4:15 worked best for most people as a time for our weekly meetings. I hope you can join us!

Room 1302 in the Michigan/MacLean Building this Tuesday at 4:15.

1302 is adjacent to the Student Association office, around the corner from the Radio Station.

See you there!

“Veterans are the light at the tip of the candle, illuminating the way for the whole nation. If veterans can achieve awareness, transformation, understanding, and peace, they can share with the rest of society the realities of war. And they can teach us how to make peace with ourselves and each other, so we never have to use violence to resolve conflicts again.” —Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh

"The future of our Armed Services and the future of our country will be integrally linked with how we take care of our veterans." —George Washington
