Sunday Dinner/Welcome Reception

Wear your letters! Dress casual. Casual is jeans or khakis; T-shirts or collared shirt/polo are acceptable. Remember, there will be a speaker, so casual doesn't mean sloppy. You should still be presentable.  After the speaker, we will do some ice breakers, the T-shirt exchange and banner contest.
