Hi Everyone,

First off I'd like to say hello to all our new members this year, it's good to see so many new faces in the MBSA.

We'll be providing free pizza and pop, so even if you don't have a lot of time at least drop by, introduce yourself, grab some food, and mingle for a bit.

Welcome To A New School Year!!!

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone had a good summer, minus the fact that it rained all the time, and that you're all back and re-energized for a new school year.
This coming week (Sep 19 - 23) the MBSA is kicking things off with its annual BioSci locker sale, membership sign up and bake sale. That's right kids, it's a trifecta of awesome this week. Here's a breakdown of the details.

Location: We will have a booth setup on the main floor in the large entrance way that connects CCIS to BioSci. If you're still not sure where this is, basically find the Science Student office in 1-001 of CCIS and walk north towards BioSci and you will run right into us as you pass through the entrance way.
Time: Monday Sep 19 to Friday Sep 23 from approx 9am to 2pm each day. In the event you don't see us there, it means were in classes, so check back an hour or two later and we should be back.

Membership sign up: We will be signing up new members to the MBSA for the low low price of $5 a membership. This gives you access to all sorts of perks (movie / game nights, student / staff networking events, study groups, prize draws, cheaper MBSA T-shirts.) What's that cheap T-shirts you say? Yep as were signing up new members we will also be selling MBSA "Model Organism" T-shirts, you can check out a mock up here http://imgur.com/nLT3U, these awesome shirts are $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Wow what a deal! $20 for a cool T-shirt and a MBSA membership, that's worth bragging about.

Locker Sale: Running at the same time we will be selling locker rentals for BioSci for only $10 for the school year. The lockers are located throughout the 3rd floor of BioSci in center wing and on the 2nd floor of BioSci in the Microbiology wing, right next to the Micro 265 Lab room. If you're taking Micro 265 this year, what a great chance to have a locker to store all your stuff and lab coat in right outside your lab room.

Bake Sale: Also at our booth this week (only on Tuesday Sep 20 and Wed Sep 21) we will be having a bake sale with all sorts of great goodies. It will be be pay what you want, so even if you only have some change. We'll be glade to accept it so that you have a great snack to keep your energy going between classes. See, that's how much the MBSA loves you :)

One last thing to mention is that on Tuesday Sep 27 from 4-6pm. We will be hosting the MBSA annual meet and great for all members in the Athabasca hall Heritage room (tentative location). We will encourage all our new and existing members to come out, meet each other, chat, mingle, and eat some free pizza. If anything at least come for the free food :).

Have a great week everyone,
~MBSA
