Change in Denver Club Leadership Club President, Scott Schein, has moved away from Denver to pursue a job in Dallas. We wish him all the best and thank him for running the Denver Club over the past few months. Student Recruitment Chair, Miriam Morrison, will serve as Interim President until elections in September. 2. SAME Cafe - Saturday, May 19 This is day two of the Club's commitment to the SAME Cafe. So All May Eat(SAME) is a non-profit organization founded to help eliminate hunger. The SAME Cafe is unique in the lack of a set menu as well as set prices. Daily selections are made using fresh, organic ingredients, and funded by the donations of patrons. Instead of a cash register, a donation box is available for one to pay what they felt their meal was worth, or to leave a little more and help out someone less fortunate. If you are interested in volunteering, contact our Board Member Tim Haar (tim_haar@yahoo.com) for details. Wolverines!
