Dear Human Ecology Students:

As you can see, some improvements were recently made to the HESA lounge
(the basement of HEB, where students can grab a snack, chill out, work
on group projects, nap, etc.) The efforts took a lot of care and
attention, and in the end we spent some money to buy all the shiny
pretty furniture that Human Ecology students will cherish (and use
responsibly, and maintain) for years to come... Which is why we are
asking for your help. We will be holding a popcorn/bake sale in AGFOR on
Wednesday March 31, 2010 to help recoup some of the expenses. This will
probably be the last fund-raiser for HESA this year, and we appreciate
all the baked goods you can muster! Please respond by e-mail, or talk to
any HESA executive, or just leave your baked goods in the HESA lounge
(by 9:30am March 31)... If you are able to work a few hours of the sale,
please let us know!

Thank you so much...
