[note] Thanks to Denise, Outlaws, You, Me, Us!

Friends,

I just wanted to take a second to extend our gratitude to Denise Brogan. Today Denise lead a very informative and engaging discussion about Don't Ask, Don't Tell, which coincided with JAG's on-campus recruiting. As we all know, this is an issue that is very near and dear to all of our hearts, so it was particularly effective for our fellow law students to hear about this policy from one of our own. Denise lead this important discussion with passion and a wonderful sense of humor. We had just over 50 people attend, including many new faces. I've already gotten a lot of positive feedback about Denise's talk. Please join me in thanking Denise for a job well done.

I also want to thank our Political Action & Speakers Committee Chair, Mary. In addition to supplementing Denise's discussion with helpful background reading, Mary had letters to Senators/Representatives ready and waiting to be signed. And people were ready to take action and make their voice heard.

Props should also be extended to our Social Chair, Jordan. Jordan grabbed a handful of the letters, ran to the ACLU meeting, and had them signed there. Between Mary & Jordan, we had over two dozens letters signed by the end of the meeting.

And of course, a special thanks goes to our Secretary, Robert. Robert helped set up today's discussion and bravely cut up burritos for our eating pleasure :).

Thanks to everyone who came and helped out with this event! We look forward to many more important discussions in the future.

~Paul
