Welcome!




Welcome back to another quarterly race to the finish line! Hello, my name is Chris Flanagan-Linderman (you can just call me Chris) and I’m the ADDA reporter for this Fall Quarter at GRCC. First off I wanted to get you up to speed as to who is serving the greater GRCC ADDA collective this quarter.

Jeremy Tatum – President
Gabriel Sosienski – Vice President
Tim Ritchey – Secretary
Becca – Treasurer
Chris Flanagan-Linderman – Reporter

Please know that we are here to serve you in any way possible, including answering association/school/program specific questions. I can assure you that if we don’t have the answers or at least a silly one-liner to cover up our lack thereof, than we can direct you to someone who can!


This week’s upcoming chapter meeting will focus on electing committee chairpersons for the following activities: HPPV (Human Powered Paper Vehicle), Association Luncheon (catered or potluck), Guest Speaker headhunter, ASE (There is no committee chairperson position needed, just some committed volunteers!), Giving From the Heart (We have found more money in our accounts which makes this a viable and feel-good activity for the club.) Please come prepared to volunteer for any and all of these worthy activities. We need everyone’s energy, enthusiasm and support. To date, the committee chairpersons that we do have are:

Justine Walker – Adopt-a-Road
Julie Axelberg – Field Trip
Chris Flanagan-Linderman - Food Bank (indicated as “Food Drive” on the sign-up sheet)


This is all I have to report at this time. Please check back in next week as I will have information posted detailing times and dates for many of these upcoming activities.
