FIRST MEETING!!!

HEY Y'ALL!!!
Alrighty, so today was our FIRST OFFICIAL steel bridge meeting! Slightly rushed to go to the ASCE social event, but a meeting none the less.

To begin, I am pretty pleased with the turn out... about 20 people signed up on the sign-in sheet, which is awesomedonson. So we ran through the logistics of the bridge, i.e. us wanting to fabricate it all this year, as well as all the administrative aspects. Remember, all of those... you... who want to fully participate, we will need $75 by the next meeting... Tuesday the 16!!!

So to further update all of you, we have the official rules for 2008 Steel Bridge Competition:
