We are thinking about planning a ski trip with ISRC so watch out for that. We're also possibly running a CCI Secret Santa, which VP Amanda Niem will discuss later.

If you have any ideas for what you'd like to see happen during reading week - for example, ice skating at Millennium Park - email our social chair Amanda Gajdosik!

Have a great weekend!
