Happy Easter everyone!
Hope y’all have had a fun day with plenty of candy. Sorry I couldn’t make it to newcomer lesson today; I’m currently out of town with my family. I know Marvin and Emily held down the fort. Check out the election materials; there might be a position for you! Here’s your WAG.
- Elections – The most important part of the end of the semester is electing our board for next year. Please first read this document for instructions on how to run, then this list of positions and their descriptions. Make sure you email your nomination to ballroom-exec@umich.edu by April 11th at midnight.
- End of Semester (EOS) Gathering – Our end of semester gathering, including elections for next year’s board, will be held on the night of Saturday 4/18!
- Please fill out this EOS potluck sheet – tryout team members traditionally bring a main, newcomers drinks and desserts. Also, please do NOT bring alcoholic beverages to a university building as this can impact our ability to host in these spaces in the future!EOS W26 potluck
