Admissions

A new cycle of admissions is starting and files are being opened.  Board talked about whether or not to continue the SLS scholarship.  Consensus was that we should continue scholarship if there are high school students genuinely interested in attending.

Biznet

Biznet continues as normal.  It is still held bimonthly at 0700 at the DTC Marriott.

Golf Tournament

Society made $2,575 during the golf tournament.  The score wasn’t even close and the West Point team won again!  

 

Air Force Game

Board discussed options for purchasing tickets to the Air Force game.  Option #1 is to link up with WPSPP and buy tickets on line (200 tickets available).  Option #2 is to buy from AAA.  Option #3 is to buy block of tickets for WPS-D.  Option #1 was chosen as it will be less of a burden on our society.


Founders Day 2011
