In case you missed the last AIAS meeting, here is a brief update of the activities we’re currently involved in:

• T-shirt sales.  We released a new t-shirt design a couple of weeks ago, so stop by our table on the 1st floor of Langford A to check it out for yourself!  We’re still selling the original College of Architecture shirts, in addition to the new design.  Shirts are $12 or 2 for $20.  We sell shirts on Mondays and Tuesdays from 11:30-1:30.
• Fundraising.  AIAS has been invited to sponsor a speaker in the Spring ‘10 College of Architecture lecture series.  We are brainstorming fundraising ideas for the sponsorship; we have tenatively established pizza sales and a student art auction as fundraisers.  Be on the look out for more info about each of these exciting ventures.
