EWB T-Shirt Design Contest
by Sean Michael McCrohan 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hey everyone! We will be ordering T-Shirts at the start of next semester, and are going to have an open design contest this month. If you have any interest in designing the next EWB t-shirt, go ahead and make a design on CustomInk (go to the link below, and click on 'design lab'), and email me a link to the design any time in the next 2 weeks (before 4/21). It doesn't take any graphic design skill to make a shirt on their website, so anyone can make one! https://www.customink.com/ The most preferred shirt type on the survey sent out was a Long sleeve t-shirt, but feel free to design whatever kind of shirt you think would be best. Thanks! Sean McCrohan smccroha(a)purdue.edu

EWB - Springblast Volunteering
by Sean Michael McCrohan 22 Mar '17

22 Mar '17

Hey everyone! Some of you may remember last fall when we helped with Winterization, helping getting local community member's homes ready for the winter. Well, the spring version of that event, Spring Blast, is coming up, and is a great opportunity. It would entail going around to local community member's homes, and doing various tasks they may have trouble with, such as yard work. It's not very hard work, but is very rewarding, and they provide a free lunch after! The event is on Saturday, April 1st, and will run from 9 am until 2 pm (at the latest). If you would like to register, fill out the link below. This is an official Spring Blast form, not an EWB specific form, so please put Engineers Without Borders as your organization name so they can group us together! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfk1jcuiQwxMo9tQNOe20RtaTzhVa69qK0… We had a lot of fun last fall with Winterization, and I think we can have an even better turnout for Spring Blast this semester! Thanks! Sean McCrohan smccroha(a)purdue.edu

Hey all! Here's how elections are going to work: Elections are going to be held at the chapter meeting at 6:00 PM tonight (3/7). The candidate for president will speak briefly, but in the interest of time, the candidates for the other positions will not speak. Instead, all candidates have provided short overviews for why they believe they are the best fit for the position(s) they are running for, which are attached to this email. Please read these over before the meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting tonight, you can still read through the paragraphs and submit your vote online through this Google form. (So handy!) Make sure your vote is in by 6:00 PM, or the ballot may be closed. BALLOT: https://goo.gl/forms/M9aBTc0SXK6vSaf72 That's it! See you all tonight, and good luck to all the candidates!
