Bonfire & Welcome Week Pictures!
October 2, 2007 at 11:11 am by Ryan Lombardini
We had a phenomenal turnout at Sunday’s bonfire (over 300 people)! We want to thank everyone that came out and helped make the event a big success. That includes a lot of the freshmen who came out to their first (of hopefully many) Fall Bonfires – you are amazing! Finally, we want to thank all our student helpers and especially the PAAs for all their hard work. Without them, this bonfire would not have been possible.
Pictures!!
Were you taking pictures at the Beach Bonfire? Have you already created a “Welcome Week” Facebook album? I know many of you probably have, so I am beginning my plea for pictures (which will continue throughout the year)! We need lots of pictures for the slideshow at our end of the year banquet and for our Yearbook. If you want your pictures to be considered for either of these, please send them to me at rlombard@uci.edu! If you have too many to send via email, I also accept burned CDs or flash drive transfers!
