Social Night at Kat-Man-Du
March 18, 2009
Social Night was quite a success with everyone enjoying the food stations and my personal favorite being the chocolate fountain with Rice Krispies and other delicacies. In addition, I have to state for the record that the vote was not rigged and I won the iPod fair and square. Finally winning something after many years was quite the thrill. We owe a big thank you to the planning committee who were phenomenal in making it happen without a hitch. Meeting in Windsor, NJ
