End of the Year Celebration and Senior Sendoff

Come join us on Saturday, April 26 at 1:30pm in the Danforth Lounge as we
celebrate our departing and graduating seniors, and all that we have
accomplished over the past year as a team. We will look back on special
moments with our seniors with a photo slideshow and share memories
together. There will be refreshments, and we will present seniors with jars
filled with messages from all of us! Also, our team captain, Karishma, will
present this semester’s Buddy Boat Award!
