FIND
Beautiful OYFAmily,
This week is going to be one of the biggest weeks for Jor and me, seeing as D7 Olympics is THIS SATURDAY! Be at Newcomb Theater at 11:00 AM in your athletic wear and an orange shirt for registration. Be sure to have 2 forms of identification with you i.e. your student ID and your actual ID. We will walk over to Nameless field from there. Sunday morning, we will announce the winner at the D7 General Body Meeting at Maury 209 at 11:00 AM.
If you plan on attending D7 Olympics to register, you must answer this poll so we can check you off this list on Saturday morning. Register HERE.
We also have an after party that night so look out for the event page.
We are in huge need of housing for Saturday night. I've already sent out emails and Facebook posts about housing, so you can tell how urgent this is becoming. People staying overnight will bring pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags, so all you have to worry about it floor space. Comfort does not really matter, so please help us out. To give you some numbers, we have about 40 people displaced right now, so sign up to house HERE
We love you and thank you for all the support!
Jasmine (jap8ew) and Jor (jvt2de)

Our next practice is Sunday, September 29 from 1-2:30pm at AFC MP4! Traditional will be at 1pm and Modern will be at 1:45pm!
BIGS COME SUPPORT YOUR LITTLES AT PRACTICES!
Also, Sakuting will be practicing for CultureFest THIS Wed. after Culture Night (around 8:30pm).
