The Last Sci Fi Event(s) of the Year

From left to right: Peter, Sean, Eka and Adriana. Get it??

To celebrate the end of the last week of classes, your SFS leaders have decreed that the following three events will take place:

1- Final Quidditch game. Meet in the club office at 4:30 pm, Friday April 8th. We're hoping to get enough people to play our first-ever un-abridged game, bludgers, snitch and all! Make it happen people.

2- Final Movie Night and potluck, and election announcements. Meet in the office or in Buchanan D 215 at 5:30 pm, Friday April 8th. We will be watching Death Race 2000 and the original 1966 Adam West Batman! Holy memoranda folks, make a note not to miss it!
Bring food for the potluck, but do not, I repeat do NOT bring a dessert unless your last name starts with a letter between S and Z. We will know if you do, and judge you.

Also, at this movie night we will announce the winners of our election, your exec for next year. This one requires your participation. Vote in the election if you haven't already, like right now! One of the positions is actually contested! Here are the candidates:


President:
Lucie Brown

Vice-president:
Madison Braga: (no empty campaign promises available)

Myles Wirth: Living on campus, I'd be willing and able to spend a lot of time in the office, increasing its hours of operation as a hang-out location-slash-rest stop for everyone during the day. I also excel at writing blog posts full of moving, staggeringly beautiful prose. I have an almost startling capacity for menial tasks, and my loyalty to the Society is unquestionable. Additionally, I'm rather good-looking.

Emily Hartig: Good day, fellow club members! I have unfortunately been quite invisible this year (and especially this past term) at events, as my life was forcibly taken over by the Theatre, and this is precisely one of the reasons I am interested in becoming your vice president for next year! I'm also interested in learning more about how the club runs. I hope to be around more, keep that fridge fully stocked, and procrastinate on my thesis by doing Fantastical Things (instead of by watching Star Trek in my room like I have been...). I hope to spend my summer refreshing myself by teaching children how to whack each other with foam swords and the like. So, vote for me if you like fun! Live long and prosper.

Secretary:
Azhia Larson

Treasurer:
Erin Schneider

Librarian:
Iris Liu

Assistant Librarian:
Chris Preston

Social Coordinator:
Hunter Cochrane

aand, 3- The one you've been waiting for. The foam sword weekend battle royale, with Dim Sum! Here is what Peter has to say about it: 

[M]eet at the SFS at 11:00am. We'll be going out en masse for Dim Sum. After this, we'll go out and buy supplies with which to construct additional foam swords to supplement our arsenal. If you've wanted a custom sword, you will learn how to make one. After we've made the swords, we'll hit each other with them! Between the food and the swords, this will likely cost about $15-$20.

Sounds pretty frickin' awesome.

That is all.
