Tuesday, April 22 at 1:00 pm, in Brock Hall, room 303, we will have a very important UCW meeting.

The state budget crisis directly impacts our livelihoods and we need to come up with an action plan for our campus that involves four things:

1. Getting another delegation to go to Nashville
2. Getting our coworkers and ourselves to send in postcards
3. Getting ourselves and our coworkers to do the email action alert
4. And getting people to make calls to Nashville.

Please consider attending this very important meeting!
