Welcome back everyone from your holidays, we all hope you enjoyed and slept as much as you could. An exciting event took place over the break which was *drumroll* PEPSI REFRESH! If you recall, we made a video/trailer that we planned to send with our pepsi refresh application and we got accepted. For what? Well, we applied to win a $5000 grant from Pepsi Refresh, our goal being, to be able to organize our Run called Run Around the Globe which we plan to do shortly.

Well on our first meeting back we opened with this great news! Also we started our "current events" when we talk about some events going on right now. For our first current events chat, we played "Issue Bus". We all hope on an imaginary bus and sing along until we reach our "issue". Then 2 ideas are brought out and each person on the bus chooses a side, there is not judging but it's just fun. Then we all discuss our ideas about why we chose which side, this game brought out a lot of new ideas and taught us all things we didn't know. This game was picked up from the Me-We confrence some members attended.
Great meeting back and GOOD LUCK BATEMAN!
