The Outreach small group wanted to remind all of you that the bill proposed for additional funding for Suitcase Clinic will be presented to the ASUC tomorrow night. We would like as many Suitcase members (whether you are an officer, a caseworker, or a current HMS 98/198 member) to come out and show your support. The meeting will be help in the Senate Chambers located on the ground floor of Eshleman Hall and will take place at 9:30 pm. We hope to see all of you there!
