Week review

This week we had the Open Board Meeting 1, where people could come see what we are up to as a board. If you couldn't make it this week make sure to attent the second open board meeting on the 22nd of March.

In the evening we had the March Social in Donovan's, which was a lot of fun and very well attended. Afterwards most of us dropped by the karaoke bar for some more fun.
