Community Council
The community council is a student organization that acts similarly to student government in our residence hall. They provide social programming, make capital improvements like new ping pong tables, and work to resolve any issues the hall may be having. There is still room for more VPs and other open e-board positions. If you wish to be a general body member, information will come out next week about our first meeting. Floor presidents will be voted on at your floor meetings or appointed by your RA. Please contact your RA for more information.

Upcoming Opportunities for Community Council Members
As a member of Lawrinson’s Community Council, you are invited to participate in the Homecoming Parade, which will take place on Friday, October 2, 2009 at 5:30pm. It’s a lot of fun and we’ll be creating a banner, so if you’re interested, join community council and let me know.

Another fun opportunity for Lawrinson’s Community Council members is to take part in Resident Hall Association’s (RHA) Leadership Night Live, which takes place on Saturday, September 26th. This is a great way to learn how to put on a program, and how to develop as a student leader. More information will be coming soon!

Quiet Hours
While we do live under 24 hour courtesy hours, these will be the official guidelines for Lawrinson Hall for this academic year. The times for weekdays differ from weekends. For residents of the QUIET LIFE community, these do not affect your current standards, but you may take part in the voting as residents of the building community
