New NEW Leaf Meeting Time! Signers! Events!

[Sara Brown]

Hey you, wondering what's hampening with New Leaf this semester? We have a
new meeting time/space:
~Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm Kern Room 108~
First meeting is tomorrow!!!

All are welcome whether you're new to new leaf or environmental activism,
you can't remember how you ended up on this listserv, you're only coming
for the food etc (okay maybe not the last reason... we didn't start
ordering food yet). Whatever the case, hope to see you there. The new
signers will be Emory Ellis and Anna Bey :)
