Dear Net Impact Club Members,

We hope the rest of this term goes well for you all and good luck with finals this week! This newsletter will be the last Net Impact Club newsletter for the term. As Spring Term 2 begins, the 2009-2010 Net Impact Cabinet will be transitioning the club's leadership to next year's cabinet. We would like to take a moment to thank all of our FY and SY cabinet members for all of their hard work and for their leadership in steering the growth of our club this year. We are really grateful for all of your energy and enthusiasm this year as well as your commitment to the club. Please welcome the new co-presidents Jessie End and Brinda Ramaiya as they settle into their new roles.

As part of our efforts to raise funds for the CASE Summer Internship Fund (SIF), we will start cap and gown rentals for SYs this week. The table will be open for SYs to reserve their cap and gown Monday through Wednesday this week and during the first two weeks of Spring Term 2. The SIF Team is looking for volunteers to help with the rentals.  The following link is a spreadsheet with the slots that are still available to volunteer. Thank you very much in advance!
