Hey folks,

	We hope your quarter/semester is winding down as peacefully as
possible. Take some time to relax, even in the midst of finals and
final projects. Here are a few CABS updates:

We are trying to figure out which platform to use: WhatsApp or
Discord. Both have voice features, and we could potentially transfer
everything, including committee calls, to Discord if we end up using
it. The accessibility issue with account creation has been fixed. So,
which do you prefer? Email us by December 1st with any comments you
might have.

There are two committee calls this week, both on Saturday. At 4:00 PM
PT, we will have the outreach committee, led by Gene and Mary. Want to
know what’s up with the website? Want to know how you can help with
the Facebook group and other media? Join this meeting to find out.

Then at 5:00 PM PT, the fundraising will be meeting. Raising money
during the pandemic is very difficult, but with your help we can
definitely do it. Join Kyle and Nikki to brainstorm and get to work.
The main principle of economics is that “there’s no such thing as free
lunch”… But there may be scholarships to virtual events coming up.

The best part is that both events can be accessed via the same link,
with the same login info. Here it is:

Finally, we want to reiterate the importance of staying happy and
healthy. It’s easy to get isolated during quarantine, but you always
have friends for support and plenty of ways to connect virtually.
Don’t let the pandemic isolate you. Thanks, and have a great week.

Best,
Cricket X. Bidleman (on behalf of the CABS board)
