Thanks to all of you who posted your projects on time. If you had trouble meeting the 12/30 deadline, just let us know. We're all friends here :) and we just want to be sure you're still on board.
Clubs that were approved in the Fall of 08 and posted a project on time should have received a contract for your start up grant. If you are eligible for a start up grant and did not receive this, please let me know.
There's so much Something going on! The entire DS team will travel to DC for the Inauguration! We'll be reporting direct from the hottest parties and happenings in town. Be sure to check back at www.dosomething.org to see what we see.
