Last night, in an election decided by just one vote, a new SPL was chosen.  Eliot Wong, stand up!
I thank all of the candidates for putting themselves forward.  I know that they will continue to be leaders during this new term.
Eliot will be meeting with me Tuesday afternoon to go over his plans for […]

The first meeting of the term will be this Thursday.  That’s right–this Thursday.
