February 9, 2009 at 3:04 pm by Jeff Fulkerson
Now casting all types for a new PRIME-TIME TRIVIA game show from the same production company that brought you “Deal or no Deal,” “1 vs 100″ and “Wipeout.” It’s called “The Whole 19 Yards,” and you can win big money!
This is an on-stage game show with NO GROSS STUNTS. We need people 21+ with BRAINS that are also athletic. If you are both, then great! But if you have more brains than brawn (or vise versa), that is also good. If you are interested, email ashtonramsey@gmail.com as soon as possible with the following information: Name | Age | Job | Phone # | Picture | Energy Level | How athletic are you? | How smart are you? | Are you more Brains or Brawn?

Spring Camping Retreat
February 9, 2009 at 3:02 pm by Jeff Fulkerson
Planning has begun for the annual CHP Retreat! The location for this year’s camping trip is the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. We will leave early Saturday morning, April 4th, and return to UCI Sunday evening, April 5th (the weekend after 1st week). There will be hiking, star-gazing, s’mores and more! This trip is both for the experienced frontiersperson as well as those who have never gone camping before.
To prepare for the trip, everyone who wants to go needs to attend one MANDATORY Retreat Meeting:
- Today, February 9th: 1-2 pm in the Locus
- Tomorrow, February 10th: 5-6 pm in the Locus
You will receive important information regarding transportation, what to bring, cost, and other important logistics, so you MUST come to one of these meetings! If you absolutely cannot make either meeting, you must see a Peer Academic Advisor before 4:30pm on March 6th to get the information. If you have any questions, please call the office at (949) 824-8409 or email us at chppaa@uci.edu.
