>awesome work
-it's amazing that a group that was born last semester and is comprised of less than 20 poeple to undertake something so large!
>Rally
-we need more animation and drama
>Media & Info
-more.
>Education
-There was a ton of well rounded info.
-Great speakers
-Even if there weren't a ton of new poeple at the events, it would all have been worth it due to the fact that the members acquired so much material and education to share with others.
-We will try to make this an annual tradition
