These are the volunteer events Dr. Krick had posted in class if you did not have time to write down all the information. There will be a few more events added throughout the semester but these are a quick overview of the events already planned. If you would like to sign up for an event do so in class or by emailing carole.becker@knights.ucf.edu with the name of the event, your phone number and email address. Can't wait to see you all at the first NMSA meeting held in class next week :)
