Join us on April 25th for a social evening dinner in collaboration with the Dining Out For Life® annual fundraising event. Dining Out For Life® is an annual dining fundraising event raising money for community-based organizations serving people living with or impacted by HIV. The concept is simple: Restaurants donate a generous percent of their sales to a local HIV service organization, and the local HIV service organization fills participating restaurants with diners.

End of Fiscal Year BBQ

Posted on by

Photo of barbecue ribs on the grillThe National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) would like to collaborate with the other affinity groups at the PTO in organizing a barbecue.  The barbecue would be open to all of the participating affinity groups members and would serve to celebrate the end of the fiscal year. Mid-October was the time frame that we thought would be ideal for the event but, depending on the participants, the time frame can be changed. Are you interested in participating?
