Melissa and Joey Taping Fundraiser

Posted by Admin On September - 2 - 2010

Hey there, everyone! On Friday, September 10th, we’re attending a TV show taping of the new show Melissa and Joey as a fundraiser. We have 2 people signed up so far and need at least 5. 5 can fit in our current car, but if someone else would like to drive in addition, we can maybe push the number in the party up. We’re meeting at 2pm at the flagpoles, arrive at the studio around 4:30 and the show lasts until 9:30. Email Gilliane at gprichar@uci.edu if you’re interested.

Hurray for fundraising!!! If you miss out on this opportunity, don’t worry! We’ll keep you posted on more events throughout the year!
