Swimming Pig says, "There is fun to be had at Hang Out with MayA!"

Where: ARC Pool (201 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, IL)

When: Friday, September 10th. 4:00 to 7:00PM

Hey guys and gals! What are you doing this Friday? Hanging out with MayA? Omg you are? Cool! Join me and our gorgeous Awareness chair, Nikki, for swimming at the ARC pool! You can just chill out, learn to swim with Nikki, and just kick it with your fellow PSA members! So PSA-ers, look for me in a lime green shirt in the ARC lobby, and we’ll have a smashing/fabulous/exciting/fantastic time!

Hi PSAAAA, get pumped for our CAMERA/VIDEO SCAVENGER HUNT! (RSVP GOOGLE DOC MANDATORY)

This is not an event where you look for objects but where you fulfill some fun, challenging, silly tasks using your camera as proof. Group members, be prepared to do some crazy challenges for points involving Monopoly money, whipped cream, a car, a donut, a cop and more ;P (this will make sense when you receive the task sheet.) The bigger the groups the better. We will review your pictures/videos after and add up points to determine the winner! Bonus points for creativity, kidnapping others, finishing points and more!

PSA Members with cameras ready for the Scavenger Hunt!

WHAT: The scavenger hunt of your life, food and the feeling of a champion
