This is our first event of the school year, so we will be introducing the board to the incoming 1L class and continue to try and build a community amongst the student body. We will be introducing our plan for the school year and solicit recommendations from the students on how to make this club work best for them. Of course, we want to show them a great time and provide food (In-n-out) in order to build our reputation as a welcoming and positive group in our school community.
