MEETIN RECAP

Today, at the UDFL meeting, we just focused on the list of upcoming events, and Sean Broom (head of MyDFL) stopped in to fire up our members and remind us about the importance of volunteering.

35 days left until election day. The governor's race is a dead heat. We
need to win, we as students quite literally cannot afford another 4 years of 83 tuition increases and George W Pawlenty in office. 35 days and it slips by quickly. Please respond and let me know what volunteer stuff you want to do and when you can help out.

Just a reminder to check udfl.blogspot.com for information
