• Thanks to the support of club members, we have the following for the LAN party: 7 Gamecubes, 5 Wiis, 9 memory cards, 24 controllers and 6 copies of Smash Brothers Melee.

Drinks will be at the participants’ expense. We might have drink runs if not, a club member will escort the participants to the vending machines.
• Mike Zeigler and Jessieca McNamara will work on a Rules of Behavior statement for our guests.
