Dear T-birds,
Thank you for an excellent Club Day on Friday and an eventful week! We’re excited to hear about the functional day successes and future club activities.

Clubs
Late Club Activation Applications
TSG understands that some of you were extremely busy with hectic schedules. So we decided to allow clubs to submit club applications late at a $50 late fee. This fee will be retained and used for co-hosted events between TSG and clubs to benefit those who allocated. We see this as a great opportunity to collaborate with and learn from clubs.
Regional Club Meeting
Host: Nikhil and Govind
At this meeting, TSG discussed regional nights and other activities that regional clubs coordinate. For more info, see: http://bit.ly/SiKLQK and contact Govind Menon (Events Chair).
Treasurer’s Review
Date: Thursday, September 27th
Time: 1-2:30pm
Location: LH54
Host: Martena
We pushed this meeting forward to accommodate some scheduling conflicts last week. Every treasurer from each club must attend this one-time, mandatory meeting. It helps TSG ensure that we have communicated and helps clubs better understand the required practices between club treasurers and TSG. If for some reason you cannot make it, contact Martena directly.
