So we know that many of you have been curious about the various committees that we have in AGS. And I know that many of you have been curious to learn more about them, so here is a Crash Course of our 2014-2015 Committees:
- Meetings: Twice a month on Monday or Tuesday afternoons (dates negotiable)
- About: Do you like meeting new people and socializing? How about planning fun parties? Well this committee is for you! In this committee, you will be working with Anna to help plan various socials for this semester (Halloween Horror Nights, Picnics, Bonfires, etc.). This is a great opportunity for you to help our rather large club to get to know one another on a more personal level. In addition to planning socials, you can also help Anna plan our Annual AGS Fall Banquet. This banquet will be an opportunity where AGS and its Executive Board will be able to recognize all of our Alphas, and especially those who went above and beyond. Did we mention that we also do raffles and give out scholarships at this time? This could be your opportunity to help end this semester of AGS on a really fun and happy note. :) Anna says, "This is the BEST committee ever...and Be the Match Committee."
