4.) Some time was spent
discussing what we would like to do with TRiO Day in Augusta the day before
national TRiO Day. The legislature
still did not know if they would be in session. It was suggested that we check with Chris Hatsted or Wendy
Alt for their opinion. Sara
discussed sending invitations to individual representatives from each person's
district to invite them to the hall of flags. Sara and Teresa made labels and post cards for this
purpose. It was suggested that we
produce similar cards for the students to invite representatives.
