My college craft club meets for the first time today. Yesterday, the school had what it calls Club Rush where all the clubs set up tables and exhibits in the cafeteria and students can mill around and find out what the clubs do and sign up for membership. I had to run off to class after I helped set up our table, but my co-adviser stayed and reports that we had lots of interest. We purposely scheduled our meeting for the day after this event with the idea that we would still be fresh in the minds of those who yesterday said they were interested. Hopefully, some cookies and sodas will also entice them to continue to participate – oh and of course the promise of lots of fun crafting – when they come by today.

If I remember correctly, after last year’s rush we had about 20 students show up at the first meeting, and considering the size of our college and the fact that it is more of a commuter school, that is a huge number.  Fingers crossed – we get at least the same turn out today!
