General Announcements
Update from
CAAAN
The February 22nd deadline for
filing reports online has come and gone and the final tally is 219 reports
filed for 293 applicants which is a success rate of just a hair under 75%; its
good, meaning better than the university average of about 60% but off the mark
of our highest years when we exceeded 90%.
There were 36 volunteers who each
had a 100% perfect record ranging from 2 for 2 to a high of 10 for 10. There
were 6 volunteers who only missed one report, one of whom was 8 for 9 and most
of the others were 3 for 4. The bad news is that there were seven
volunteers who were given assignments and were zeros, 0 for 22 in total.
If you know of any alums who would
like to volunteer for next season, please have then contact me. We need some
more volunteers like Dr. Debra Venner 10/10, Amy & Cliff Strat
together 15/15, Susan Kalus 8/8, or Dr. Howard and Susan Schub
together 9/9, just to name a few of the top 100%ers.
We also will have our annual
"Student Send-Off" which will be at our home on a Sunday in early to
mid August t/b/a.
