Also a few announcements for PCH members:
PCH General Member T-shirts pick them up @ any GM from now on or contact Jasmine
The PCH shirts have come in and they look amazing! Please contact Jasmine with the following email staff.assistants.pch@gmail.com to schedule a time to pick up a shirt if you pre-ordered and cannot make it to GM. Note that we will be giving priority to pre-orders so if you want a shirt and you did not pre-order you will have to wait until all the pre-ordered shirts are taken. Also, purchasing a shirt ($10) counts as a fundraising effort for the quarter.
