The Third Annual Engineering Ball is going to take place on February 16, 2008 and they need a band for the event! The Society of Women Engineers is interested in hiring a band, or multiple bands, for the occasion. They would like the music at the Ball to be by other engineers to highlight the many talents of the faculty and/or students. If anybody is interested in playing at the Ball or would like more information they would love to hear from you. Please contact Jennifer Coe, with the Society of Women Engineers, at coeje@engr.orst.edu. Thank you very much and we hope to see everybody there.
