DC Campaign with Indigogo: Jaidon needs people who are willing to appear on the campaign video. If you are willing to do so, contact Jadion at jbrown68@aug.edu.
Orgsync: It is very important that we get as many members signed up on ASU’s Orgsync as we can. If you have not already, please set up your account at www.orgsync.org. After you've made your profile, add the Political Science Club to your groups: https://orgsync.com/join/21465/political-science-club. It takes less than five minutes of your time and helps a lot for getting funding from Student Activities. For questions, please email one of the club officers.
Sponsorship Drive: Continue pursuing those sponsorship opportunities! Remember, a sponsorship is required from those members who plan on going to D.C. in May. The person with most sponsorships wins a $100 VISA gift card.
The next meeting will be on February 3rd at 2:15 in Allgood Hall room E151. Hope to see everyone there!
