Please join TASH@NAU for a first meeting of the Spring Semester!! 

Monday, January 25th

College of Education, RM 174

6 pm

To continue our tradition, this first meeting will be a potluck and meet & greet.   We challenge everyone to bring someone new (or a person that hasn't been in awhile) to the meeting.

We have many exciting activities planned for this semester, but we can only be successful if everyone participates!

We will be switching to using yahoo groups as a way to get ahold of everyone.  All reminder emails will be going through our new Yahoo group, TASH@NAU.  An invite has been sent, be sure to accept, so that you remain on our mailing list.  The site is public, so please forward our address to anyone who would like to join our group and/or mailing list... all they have to do is go to the page and join the group.

We will also be using the group to share materials, our lists of events and share with one another.
