■ First and foremost, this senator stuff is pretty laid back for the most part, I guess it could be what you make of it though - during the season it'll be hard to get really involved. Anywhooooo, after getting the email set up we've sent out weekly emails, held "office hours" each week in dibble lounge, and zero people have yet to show. StiFund and Green Fund are rockin. Senator Project has reluctantly turned into data collection for Green Fund, however, I want to do more.
