Hey EWBers,

Important Note: Member Learning will be in Arts 146 tonight at 6 pm.

Michael Zelmer, Director of Communications for Fairtrade Canada is going to answer your questions about Fairtrade certification. What is it? How does it work? And all those other questions you've never dared to ask.

He's also going to talk about an exciting initiative; our quest to see the University of Saskatchewan gain Fair Trade Campus status. Learn what it is, why it's a good thing, and what you can do to help.

Important Note: Member Learning will be in Arts 146 tonight at 6 pm.

Hope you can make it!

This is a reminder that Member Learning is tonight in Agriculture 2E25 at 6pm! Raquel will be talking about Monitoring and Evaluation as well as Stakeholder Analysis.

Hey again everyone!

We've had quite a few people sign up for our recruitment meeting, which is great news! Based on the responses to the Doodle, it looks like the best time to have our meeting will be THURSDAY, MARCH 1st AT 5:30 PM. Of course, this is only a half hour before our member learning so I'll make sure to be organized to keep the meeting efficient!

I look forward to seeing all those who are interested at the meeting on Thursday.

Message from our recruitment leader , Bryce.

Hey team!

With the end of the school year our chapter will be saying goodbye to a lot of great people. In order to offset our loss we will be holding a Recruitment meeting on the first week back to discuss who to target our recruitment at and ways to get new people involved.

If you're interested take a minute to fill out this doodle with your availability. We have lots of tasks to delegate, so any level of commitment is fine.

I'll send out a followup email with the decided meeting time if we have enough interest for one.

Enjoy the weekend!
