Rugby Thanks and Calendar Update

Thank you to those who attended the UM/FIU Rugby Match on October 23. An email was sent to us by the President of the UM Rugby Team expressing gratitude for our attendance at the match. In addition, we've been invited to "come to the party next time and have a few **inks." Sounds like fun!

Also, the calendar has been cleaned up so do take a look at it. The minutes for yesterday's meeting will be posted in the near future.

Second Pub Night of the Semester

This past Friday, October 15, we had our second Pub Night of the semester, held at John Martin's Irish Pub on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. We enjoyed live music, great food, and a bright atmosphere in a packed house.

After our meal, some of us walked the Mile and headed to Barnes & Noble for intellectual rejuvenation & mind relaxation. Many thanks to those who attended. Join us for the next one in Fort Lauderdale.

Beach cleanup, BBQ, and Lighthouse Tour

We want to thank all BASA members who attended yesterday’s beach cleanup, BBQ, and Cape Florida Lighthouse tour in Key Biscayne. Together with the Honors Society of Gamma Epsilon Phi, we managed to attract over 40 persons to our event.

We began the day by first, cleaning up and down the beach. Next, we enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs, along with Walker’s Crisps and English sausages topped with HP Sauce. There was plenty of food and drink for all to enjoy, with much left over. Afterwards, we had a private group tour of the Lighthouse and Keeper’s cottage. We finished the day relaxing at the beach, after which, we all parted ways. The event was a great success!
