			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Tuesday, November 17th, many of the seniors are expected to attend a field trip to Chromaticity and Foremoest Graphics in Grand Rapids. This will make for a small group during our regularly scheduled meeting time. However, <strong>ALL NOMINEES MUST ATTEND THE MEETING AND GIVE THEIR SPEECH</strong>. Kameron will be setting up the camera and recording them so that those of us that could not attend will have an opportunity to hear what you have to say. Remember, no longer than 3 minutes on what makes you a good candidate for the position.</p>
