The List

This is a (hopefully) fairly comprehensive list of everything the club does. This one is for the 2009-2010 year, but hopefully the trend continues...

Note: This page is going to look messy for a while, but please don't move everything around or try and tidy up too much. I'm trying to get myself organized here and wanted a place I can access easily from anywhere and will be publicly visible. Thanks. --Bigbadbasstrombone 18:38, 16 April 2009 (PDT)
