CLUB FAIR WAS A SUCCESS!!!

The President of American Drafting Design Association gives us a thumbs up for such good effort!!

Club Fair was a success!!
Thanks to the volunteers that helped inform students about the ADDA club and drafting program. Hopefully we sparked many new interests and we will see new faces in the upcoming meetings!!!

Our most popular attraction was the "Green Caddy" of course! Students were curious and surprised to here the information about the Human Paper Powered Vehicle (bike). Most students signed up just to get involved with the design of this years bike. So we welcome new members to the club!!

The Patent Club was also very involved! John had to bring his lunch to the table to keep up with the students inquiring about the club......

The best treats were free balloons......

The ADDA members had tons of fun informing and networking with students and faculty, as well as learning about other clubs on campus......if you missed out on this quarter's club fair, be sure to join us for the "Grande Fair" in the spring time!!
