But here's a recap on the events since our last posting:

Brunch Social (1/10): Jack hosted our 2nd brunch social at his place as our last social event for the old exec board :)

Holiday Party Social (12/5): We had our annual holiday party at our place. It was a great time with lots of good food, drinks, and games!

San Antonio Medicine Magazine: Gilbert was published in Bexar County Medical Society's San Antonio Medicine Magazine for writing about PRIDE! Take a look on page 20: http://www.bcms.org/SAM/2014/SAMDec2014/index.html

General Body Meeting & Halloween Goody Bags (10/31): We had a meeting in the medical school, made goodie bags for kids, and passed them out to pediatric patients at the University Health System Hospital. A shout out to Gilbert for this great idea!

RainBOO 5k Fun Run & Walk (10/19): Gilbert organized a volunteer event with SA Pride. We staffed their First Aid booth again for the 2nd year in a row.



I wish we took some good pictures, but if you missed out on anything, we mainly let people know about our events through our Facebook page, and we also have an e-mail list (just shoot us an e-mail with yours and we'll put you on!)
