Summer Updates!

I posted a page with a list of summer events.  I’ll have a nicer calandar format soon.  If you’re interested in any events over the summer, feel free to browse over to that page.  2008-2009 has been a great year and we are already looking ahead to the summer and the following semester.  Below of are some tidbits of news!

• If you will be staying in Blacksburg for the summer, or if you would just like to be kept up-to-date, please send an email to Brandon Beall at bbeall@vt.edu, and he will add you to the summer email group. (Specify if you’ll actually be in town or just want to be added.)

• Over the summer, we will be accepting designs for a new YDVT t-shirt! We are hoping to get the process started early so that we can vote on a design in the first couple of meetings and get these things printed! Submit your designs to me at kmn10@vt.edu. If your design wins, you will get a free shirt! You’re allowed to submit as many as you like, though keep copyright in mind. Be creative!

• If you have photos from YDVT events, or of YDVT members, why not get them up on the YDVT website? Send those on to Riley, our webmaster, at wrnewell@vt.edu.
