Hey all,

I am glad to report that we had a fairly productive year with SPJ. We have sold donuts, sponsored speakers, bought recording equipment for Ka Leo and SPJ to continue our podcasting and mingled with the pros. I have watched so many fine journalists join and leave our program and I hope this will continue with the next academic year.

Elections were held last meeting and I am happy to report Alyssa and Kumari have been elected as president and secretary. Ashley and Iz will remain vice president and tresurer. I know this group will do amazing things with the club and hopefully raise the bar even higher.

On a personal note, it has been an honor to be the SPJ president this year and I coudn't have asked for a better group of people to work with. Special thanks to prfessor Lillie for squeezing us in between his new baby and school. I also want to thank Iz, Ashley and Alyssa for their enthusiam and hard work to make this such a productive year.

I hope everyone enjoys their summer and keeps in touch. Make sure to check the blog, google group and email for more info on upcoming SPJ events.

Matt
