Weekly Update November 4, 2013

Hello everyone!  I hope registration is going well for all of you.

This Tuesday, November 5th, is our last general meeting for the year.  The meeting will be held at the Student Union room 340B, from 5-6 P.M.  There will be free ice cream and cheerwine at the meeting. Remember that you are required to attend at least one general meeting per semester. We will also have a raffle, the winner of which will receive a nice prize!  

If you are interested in buying a UHP t-shirt, make sure to bring $10 to the meeting.  You can also bring the money to the Honors Office at any point after the meeting.  The t-shirts look really good this year, and I would recommend that everyone should get one.  Here's the design for the t-shirt:

This Friday Nov. 8th and Saturday Nov. 9th, there are volunteering opportunities with 2nd Harvest Food Bank.  We'll be volunteering at the Second Harvest Warehouse (500 Spratt Street, Charlotte) onFriday from 9-1 and will be helping them out with their Harvest Feast Marathon on Saturday from 12-4.  The more people who can sign up to volunteer, the better (especially on Saturday).  Here's a link to the google doc to register: https://docs.google.com/a/uncc.edu/document/d/1_YTUlqQSaFeFZPwb50pDmvyDg7dTeVHtCWDQVcXWeXI/edit?pli=1

Also this Saturday, a group of UHP students are going to volunteer at the Big Sweep.  The Big Sweep is a project where volunteers help clean trash out of local rivers and streams.  Students who are interested should sign up on orgsync by going to this link:  https://orgsync.com/login, then going to the Volunteer Outreach page and the events tab.  Everyone will be meeting in front of the Student Union at 8 A.M.  

The 49er Dance Mine is being held on Nov. 15-16 in the Student Union Multipurpose Room (3rd Floor).  All proceeds will benefit the Levine Children's Hospital, and you can register to go with the UHP team as either a dancer or a supporter through the following link:  http://www.helpmakemiracles.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.team&teamID=18975.

Austin Jenkins, our President-Elect, will be hosting a watch party for the Avett Brothers concert being held at North Charleston Coliseum and sponsored by Cheerwine.  It is going to be held in Student Union 263 from 7:30-10:30 on Thursday, November 14.  Attendance is free and everyone who attends will get free Cheerwine, hors d'oeuvres, desserts (including Cheerwine cake, cookies, etc.), and much more!  All attendees will also be entered to win some fantastic door prizes.  Just come whenever you're available...you can stay the whole time or just for a minute to get some free food and drinks!  Everyone who is interested needs to RSVP on this Google Doc (even if they plan on just coming for a minute to get some free food) so that Austin will know how much stuff to bring.   https://docs.google.com/a/uncc.edu/document/d/1UX3geoDLKNpshP05W5W4ttslB6kKCqk3XcTY1dGLiXk/edit

One last note regarding our upcoming meeting.  Have you had any great accomplishments recently?  Got a good grade on a hard test, received a scholarship, or gotten a job?  Or, have you had any smaller victories, such as waking up every morning for your 8 A.M. class or washing your clothes without ending up with an odd number of socks?  If you've had any of these accomplishments or others, and want to be recognized for them, email Connie Rothwell at crothwll@uncc.edu.  We will be honoring students at the meeting tomorrow, so be sure to tell Connie about what you've done this year!

Thanks for reading the update, and here's to a great week!
