We're set to have our first monthly E-Club meeting this Thrusday 10/18 at 6:30 in the Rathskeller. We should use the time to get caught up on some of the plans laid down at our last meeting like the pre-interhouse party as well as discuss any new ideas anyone may have.

I hope everyone had a great summer. The Eclub executive board has been busy planning for the new school year. We have lots of great events in the works for the coming semester and year, so stay tuned.

To start things off, there will be a Tech Coast Angels screening on October 5th. If you've never been to a screening, it's a great opportunity to see what goes on behind closed doors after a company pitches, and how investors decide whether or not to invest.

There are only a limited number of spots available so please let me know if you are interested in attending.
