Wrapping up the Winter 2013 Semester

It's crazy to think that the semester is almost over! ANCHOR will be hosting some great events to close out the semester that you won't want to miss:

3/29 - Sequence Showdown - MPR 3pm

Trivia challenge between Honors freshman sequences for current freshman and alumni. The winners will get a doughnut or pizza party!

4/2 - ANCHOR Carnival - MPR 7-9pm

Join us to play some fun games to help raise money for Challenging Heights in Ghana. Each game ticket is $0.25 or 5 tickets for $1.00. We are hoping to sponsor a child at Challenging Heights for a year, so all of the money we raise will go directly to that cause. Bring some friends and your money to donate!

 

**There will be no meeting on 3/27 so we can all attend the Meijer Lecture Series with Sir Ken Robinson in the Fieldhouse. **

Mr. ANCHOR Pageant

Who will be the first Mr. ANCHOR? Come find out this Friday, February 8th at 7:00pm in the Cook-DeWitt Auditorium. The guys will be answering some interesting Q&A, showing us their talent, and modeling their best Grand Valley attire. You don't want to miss this!

40% of each contestant's score will be based on how much money they raise for Helen DeVos Children's Hospital through our penny wars. Head to the Niemeyer lobby with your loose change and bills to get your favorite contestant some points. Nickels and Quarters have negative point values, so put those in the other contestants' jars! Help us donate and lead your Mr. ANCHOR to victory!

Let us know you're coming via Facebook: Mr. ANCHOR Event

Change in Meeting Time

We have changed our meeting time to 9:30pm instead of 9:00 on Wednesdays in HON 148 (just past the Multi-Purpose room). This time change will start this week and continue for the rest of the semester, so if you have a 6-9 class you can join us! Hope to see you there!
