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...

HESA has planned a field trip to E4C on Wednesday March 17th for a tour
(information session) of the facility and a lunch made by E4C's Kids in
the Hall Bistro ($15). If you would just like a tour, the lunch is
optional and there will be no costs. Meeting time is at 10:00 am in front of
the HUB LRT entrance and we will return to school around 1:00 pm.

Please RSVP to hesa@ualberta.ca by Monday March 15th.

E4C's Program Manager with the Nutrition & Community Services, Emily
Wolbeck PHEc, a Human Ecology grad, will be showing us around. She ended
up at E4C through the practicum program and will discuss how her degree
has prepared for this job. Also, she will discuss about all of E4C's
programs and services with a question and answer period during lunch to
finish off our trip.
