Change: count on it.

Well folks, it's been a fun ride. This will be my last official post as a club officer. What's the significance of that anyway?

I sincerely hope you've enjoyed what the badminton club has been able to offer you for the past year. Changes have come to us through the club sports council and we've done our best to run our club the best way we saw fit. I'd like to think that we've learned from our mistakes and that the club is on a path of determined improvement. If you have any comments regarding how the club/team is run, please feel free to let us know. You can email the club at drexelbc[at]gmail[dot]com at any time.

Jeers and cheers to you all.

The DAC is ours again.

Hi kids. Quick note here: badminton courts are open again.

This Friday the 19th, come play with us from 4 - 8 PM.

If you're on break, make the most of it. If you're not, I weep with you.

Her hands went into withdrawal after giving up badminton for two weeks. Doctors expect a speedy recovery.

2010 Budget Allocation

Apologies for the usual delay. I'm still reeling from the official budget allocation for fiscal year 2010. While we tried to fight for more money, the bottom line is that the badminton club needs your support now more than ever. How much did we get this year? $6,865.36. About half of last year's budget.

The direct effect on you is still uncertain. We want the club to grow. We want the team to excel. But we can't do this alone.

You will see more fundraising activities from us this year so we can purchase enough shuttlecocks for your practices. We need to make sure our team members are making the best use of our funds when we send them to tournaments to represent Drexel. This won't be easy, but I think challenges will bring out the best in our new officers. As more news unfolds, we will bring it to you.

We'll figure something out.

Minor Minutes

Z-String and I attended this evening's club sports council meeting. There are a couple notes about your badminton club that are worth sharing. Here they are:

• Budget allocations should be revealed to us tomorrow. All clubs had a minimum of 36% cut from their budget request.
• Starting next school year, physical examinations will likely be required for any student who participates in a club sport. More details will be announced later.
• Finally, we are coming close to finalizing a design for our club's t-shirt. Stay tuned. These shirts are gonna be hot.
  

Safety first.
