Update: Hunt for the Pot of Gold!

The Pot of Gold has been found!!!!

Congratulations to Josef Lorentz and Shahid Jaffer! The Pot of Gold was hidden in the vicinity of the wind turbine. Congrats to Josef and Shahid for their excellent detective work...

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Sincerely,

The InterHall Council (your Hall Council Presidents...)

Thank your Hall Council!

Yesterday (Monday, March 15, 2010) was

HALL COUNCIL APPRECIATION DAY!

Say "thank you" to your corridor/floor representative and your executive board. Hall Councils work hard to put on fun events in the residence halls. The holiday gift? That's Hall Council. Food for Finals? That's Hall Council.

While the official Appreciation Day was yesterday, we ALWAYS appreciate the hard work that the councils do!
