The weather's been a bit off and crummy lately so the latest VHP meeting scheduled for THIS coming FRIDAY, March 7th @ 4PM at the Red Gym MSC Conference Room should cheer you right up! ;D Why? Because there will also be a DESSERT POTLUCK! So, feel free to shower us with your presence or bring your own tasty desserts and/or snacks to share. You don't want to miss this meeting because not only will we be discussing upcoming events for VHP (which you shouldn't miss out on) but Hoai's also planning on baking cupcakes! :) :) :)
