[UWAB] Fwd: Thanks!

Hello girls! Thanks again to everyone who helped out with Mafia night!! Forwarded with this email is a message from Uzo, the president of SAB. You guys are * incredibly* awesome!! ^_^ Thanks, Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Uzo Okafor <echo(a)gatech.edu> Date: Sun, Mar 9, 2008 at 12:33 PM Subject: Thanks! To: Candis Pham <touching.the.sky(a)gmail.com>, Michael Slaughter < mslaughter3(a)mail.gatech.edu> Hey, Just wanted to send a quick thank you over your way for helping us throw a successful Mafia Night last week. There were, if I remember right, 58 people who signed in, which far exceeded my expectations. We even went right on through our midnight closing time with a couple of games going on. While everything about the setup wasn't *perfect*, the night in general seemed fun for the people who got involved. Hopefully we're all in agreement on that. Anyway, it was a pretty good team effort. Without you - both individually and your organizations - I don't think Mafia would have been half as successful as it was. Thanks again, Uzo
