Hi all!
 
We have an exciting few weeks ahead of us with multiple YP Week events, our Forward Madison FC game social, and service events at Second Harvest, Books for the World, and the Lussier Center food pantry.  I want to thank our members who have been hard at work planning these great events for our club.
 
One event in particular I’d like to highlight is the Madison Mixtape event – hosted by our club in collaboration with Connect Madison.  This is an event dedicated to celebrating Madison’s local hip hop culture.  There will be multiple hip hop artists, dancers, and slam poets!  If that alone wasn’t enough to sell you, the event is FREE and is being hosted at the super cool Robinia Courtyard.  This will be a great time to socialize, listen to fun music, and introduce our club to many new people that may not have heard about our club yet.
 
Also, this is the last call for tickets to our Forward Madison FC game social on Saturday, May 4th.  Please let us know by this Saturday if you plan to join us.  Tickets are $25.
 
Check out the entire YP Week schedule here and sign up for events before spots fill up!
 
Have a great Wednesday,
