ALA Back to School Get-Together!

Join us for a hot dog barbecue on Monday September 1, 2008, from 2-7pm. Everyone is welcome at this event, which will be held at the Ella Baker Graduate House, on the rooftop. The address for the house in 917 S. Forest Ave., just a short way from campus. ALA will provide hot dogs and pop, and we'd appreciate if you'd be kind enough to bring some other snacks to share. Beer, wine, and other beverage are welcome too. This will be a great time to get to know new students, catch up with old friends, and have a good time before the semester really starts! We hope to see everyone there! If you have any questions, please email the ALA officers at alaofficers@umich.edu. We'd love to hear from you.
