Banquet

• Excellent turnout of ~300-350, many alumni, great speakers
• Very well organized, with distinct VOC flare. Especially liked the VOC museum...

• Great final result, sold ~200 copies in the first couple weeks
• Elliott and CTB team received Silver pin at the banquet for their efforts

Imagine day

• Success, over 850 signed up for mailing list, will see how well attended info night is...
• Beneficial to be 'Health and Wellness' section? Though this may not be the most appropriate (none of the options are) it seems to have worked out very well as this is the first place people go when released from the pep rally. As a result the VOC table was swamped from 1-4pm
