Dear friends of the Society,
We need people to help with the pasting of photos for the "Mein Deutschland" photo competition! If you are free any time from 9 AM to 2 PM this Monday (6 September), please head down to the CLS Meeting Room at AS4 Level 5 and lend us your help! You'll be able to take a sneak peak at the beautiful photos that were submitted for the competition. You don't have to stay for the entire duration of 5 hours, so just come down whenever you are free!
We also need a few friends who are free on Wednesday morning (8 September) to help put up the photos for the photo exhibition before the event. If you are interested in helping out, please come down to the Central Forum at 9 AM on Wednesday. Thanks!
