Calendar 2007-2008

Sigma Delta Pi has been busy once again. This year we have had several meetings. Our meetings have taken place in the Foreign Language Seminar Room at Eastern Illinois University on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm. We are also collaborating with the Spanish Club on campus. Our activites have included the following:
        
          September 30th - Initiation ceremony of new members
         October - update of Sigma bulletin board
         October 30&31 - Halloween candy sale
         November - Update of website, Haiti Connection    
               sponsorship, member tee-shirts

During our September initiation ceremony we inducted seven new members. Our updated Sigma bulletin board includes pictures of the new officers, an events section, and a Spanish club events section among other things. The Halloween candy sale went great. Sigma got together to prepare 100 bags of candy and we are glad to report that all of the bags were sold!!! We are also sponsoring the Haiti Connection banquet  which raises awareness about world hunger. We are currently updating our website and soon we will be sporting Sigma tee-shirts!

This Spring 2008 we have participated in the Foreign Language Week sponsoring 4 events.
           We presented 2 short plays to the general public.
                   "El burrito encantado" a children's play by the venezuelan dramatist Ramón                             Méndez.
                    "Historia de un flemón" by Osvaldo Dragún.
          We sponsored "Spanish Games Night" with the participation of about 20                                     students.
                   We played "Jeopardy" in Spanish and "Mata moscas"
          We invited Dr. Kristin Routt to give a presentation about Latin American Food.                                 And afterwards we had a tasting party. Almost all the members of SIGMA made                         a traditional dish. We had enchiladas, tamales, flan, horchata, sangría and                                     chips and salsa. It was a success. We had around 35 students participate.

          We also had a movie night. There were around 20 people attending to see an                                     Almodóvar movie.
