**Our First Meeting content

This is just a short recap of what went down during our first meeting this semester:

The event:
We kicked it off with a good turn out and a lot of new faces, though I don't think we plan on holding it again around that time due to class scheduling interference. Pizza was present while we explained some of the advantages of being within this organization. The main reason: we're AWESOME! and you want to be networked with awesome people that will help you out with opinions, opportunities, jobs, work, parties, school and laughs.

The officers:
Rebecca, Jessica, Nicole, Vishal, Spencer and Chris Smith...
When you see us around, say hi...ask us when the next meeting is, what we're up to, and what we had for lunch. We're all friendly faces! People who are new, don't be timid about taking to us. We're here the same reason you are: to make friends, have fun, and make work.

The content:
BFA Portfolio Viewing Sept 25 - This is the chance to see portfolios that were good enough to get into the program. People are invited from all over, no matter what major, it's a great chance to see the cream of the crop - I can't convey how helpful this was last semester for a lot of people.

Sequoia Gallery Show Oct 5 - A gallery spurred from our summer trip. Get a taste of our trips, our work, our gallery system - gallery openings are one of the best things about being a student here at Long Beach State


LBC Art Walk Nov 8th - always fun, we'll talk about the best way to participate and have fun, later on


The SPE Convention Nov 13-16 - There's so much info about this that i'll post a separate thing... it promises to be the main event this semester, and looks like it'll be one hell of a grand road trip to San Fran for one of the best Conventions in the USA, regarding photography.

Student Holiday Sale - Dec 5th - Make some money for xmas!
