Plans for Spring 2011!
February 2nd, 2011 — Announcements
LiNK TEXAS officially launched for the Spring Semester on Monday night! It was a great first General Meeting with lots of attendance.
This semester, our goal is to raise $5000, and thereby, two North Korean refugees. Last Semester, we raised enough to save one! It’s exciting to see our chapter at UT Austin growing stronger and stronger every semester! We’ve been around since ’04, when LiNK was first getting off the ground!
We’re going to be pandhandling for $$$ starting February 19, and partnering with local busniesses.
The Nomads are scheduled to come to our school with the new cut of HIDING on March 31st, though that might change due to some scheduling conflict.
And perhaps the most exciting news of all, since we won the fund-raising challenge last semester, we’ll be partying with JOSEPH sometime in March (March 25?)!
Stay tuned for more news this spring!
