Agenda
1. Father Greg Boyle's event was very inspirational and it was an honor for us to be part of it.
Announcements
1. Dear fellow Club Members!
We got contacted by the Associated Students, the student government, about something really important that we all need to make a priority: Fighting for our education.
The A.S. is providing three large buses for free for us to go up to Sacramento and protest together with thousands of other students.
Now we need you to sign up. Let me first give you an update on the big picture:
The status quo is very, very grim: Unit fees probably rising to $36/Unit, worst case scenario $66/Unit - dictated by the State Legislature. SMC Winter session possibly being cut completely (up in the air as of now), Summer Session probably reduced by 33%. SMC will get anywhere between $5 Million and $15 Million less funding, resulting in less class offerings and general cuts on support services like EOPS and Disabled Student Services.
It is your chance to act and make your voices heard - if you want your politicians to do something about it, you have to participate in the democratic process!
The A.S. Board approved funding for the buses today; there will be 3 buses in which we can transport 150 people total to the protests in Sacramento. It's important that youact in the next three days - the deadline for the actual signup is Thursday, March 10th, 7PM. To assure attendance of the people who sign up, every student has to make a $10 deposit, which you will get back as soon as you are on the bus.
Thank you for standing up for your own rights, now it is time to sign up at the A.S. Office, SMC Main Campus!
