So here is the deal with iVote. I know this has all been a little confusing, but believe me -- I'm just as confused as the rest of us. I think the guy in charge may have multiple personalities because he keeps changing his mind/the plan for how things are supposed to run.
But anyway, here is OUR deal -- we're going to meet in the TA office on the third floor of North Kedzie (room 306) at 5. Once everyone is there, we'll make our way over to the Breslin Center. We don't really have all that much to set up (just a banner, a sign up sheet, and some t-shirts). Then, we'll be at the Breslin Center at our table until 7, when the concert starts. I think we should just leave at 7. Everyone will be in the concert at that time anyway, so it's kind of pointless for us to hang around. If anyone wants to stay and enjoy the concert, you're more than welcome to, but I'm going to leave at 7.
That's about it. Please e-mail me back and tell me if you can or cannot make it so that I have an idea of how many people we're going to have. Here are the people who are signed up right now:
Derek
Ashley (are you going to with us or your other group?)
Danielle Donovan
Greg
Levi
Rachel
Danielle Pombier and hubby
Also, if you have a Buzzkill t-shirt, please wear it. If you don't have a Buzzkill shirt and you want one, you can purchase one in the TA office before we go (they're $10). If you want a shirt and can't be at the TA office, just tell me what size you are and I'll bring it to the concert.
Hope this clarified everything. Sorry again for the confusion.

Meet the scientist...
Ned Walker
Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Entomology, and Fisheries and Wildlife
MSU scientist Ned Walker has degrees in zoology, microbiology and entomology, which serve him well in his detective work to find out how infectious diseases such as malaria move pass from mosquitoes to people.
With support from the National Science Foundation and the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health, Walker is studying how insecticide-treated bed nets can disrupt the population dynamics of malaria, a disease that kills about 3,000 children each day in Africa. Research shows that using bed nets cuts mortality by almost 50 percent.
"Bed nets have emerged as a powerful and simple control tool and they only cost about $10 a piece to get into the homes of users. This research is international in scope and will help us help people, which is one of Michigan State's land-grant principles. I'm excited about the project and I'm excited about the opportunity to have people donate to the Michigan State Nothing But Nets team to save children."
This research is funded by the National Science Foundation and supported by the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station. The Kenya Medical Research Institute and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are collaborators.
