that Sue loves "CAFFEINE," we are going to be holding a booth most
likely at Hope Commons. We ask that you start thinking/making some
posters and flyers on Caffeine, some benefits/harmful effects it as,
certain caffeinated beverages, and think of an interactive activity we
can do to grab people in as they walk by. Sue is trying to get
samples for us to give out cause everyone loves free food/drinks!

4. Relay For Life: Does anyone want to head a Nutrition Club team to
benefit the American Cancer Society?! I did it for my sorority last
