Benefit Dinner
We are getting really close to our planned benefit dinner date and we still don't have a location! I'm going to need everyone to find at least two possible places for us to have the dinner. The parameters are:
Costs <$500 but hopefully Free (tell them it is tax deductible)
Planning on having it on March 14 or 15
Allows caterers from elsewhere
If you know ANYONE or ANY PLACE where they could allow us to have an event like this but with an outside caterer, please contact Danielle Touma (danielletouma@gmail.com).
Research Group Meetings
Due to schedule conflicts the research meetings will now be on Wednesdays at 12:30 to 1:30. Hopefully the majority of us can make it at this new time. The Rainwater catchment group will be presenting this week.
Sieve Analysis
Chris Love: "If anyone is interested in helping with the sieve analysis (needed tofind the effective diameter and uniformity coefficient of the sandsbeing used for the biosand research), I am planning on doing it Friday (the 22nd)afternoon in Weaver lab 135"

UNC-CH Trip
We'll be at UNC all day Saturday, the 23rd carrying out these two tasks:
Volunteer for WaterPartners
Breakfast
Need nice clothes for the evening dinner.
Visit Biosand Filter (with Mark Elliott, PhD student)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Benefit Dinner
We still need a location!!! We pretty much have everything but the location. We are now aiming for the weekend of March 15, so as soon as we find a place we will start advertising. Through a website, information was requested to various locations including museums, Peace College, hotels, and such.

Dr. Borden
We need to come up with a nice project layout/proposal with a proper objective so that en the environmental engineering senior design students can do our project. We'll start setting that up on Thursday the 14th.

Presentations
Many organizations are wanting a presentation from us. Please come up with good ideas and send them to me so we can incorporate it into the presentation we will be showing to various organizations. One of the presentations (for AWWA) was started today, we'll finish at the meeting.

Appearances
AWWA (American Water Works Association) meeting (with Chris Belk from NC Water for People) - Feb. 15 @ 10:30 am (more info)
