So much going on this month...Try to keep up!

Happy Halloween everyone!

The semester is flying by and we have a lot going on this coming month. First up will be our next chapter meeting on Thursday, November 4th. A Sports PR panel will join PRSSA at 5:30pm in ECTR 115.

This Friday, November 5 is the PRSA conference in Columbia, SC. Students can register for an extremely discounted rate of $35! We will all drive up to Columbia together, early on Friday morning. The conference is scheduled from 9-3pm, then we will return to Charleston. For more information on the conference and to sign up, visit http://www.scprsa.org/PDConference.htm. The registration deadline is TOMORROW (11/1).

Also on Friday, PRSSA has the great opportunity to not only help out with the men's basketball exhibition game, but also raise money for our organization. We are looking for a few volunteers to work one of the concession stands at the game on Friday evening. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to CofC PRSSA! Please contact VP Imana Holmes at ikholmes@edisto.cofc.edu.

Looking ahead a little bit further, our chapter meeting scheduled for November 18 will be at Mellow Mushroom on King St. Don't miss out on a night of food, networking, and fun! Seriously, who doesn't love pizza? And there will be several PRSA professionals joining us for dinner so you can meet your future boss! Mellow has also agreed to donate a percentage of our sales to our group, so come hungry...and thirsty for that matter :)

Finally, information about our service project with Crisis Ministries will be announced soon. We are looking to volunteer in their soup kitchen and possibly run a food drive for them.

That's all for now. Hope to see everyone this Thursday get the inside look at Sports PR. Can't Wait!
