So, as most of you know, our current president will be stepping down at the end of this semester which will create a need for new officers. I was hoping to have an official meeting for the first bit of practice when we come back to see who would be interested in what positions and if there are no conflicts, vote on new officers so the training can begin and we can http://marauder.millersville.edu/~fencing/blog/2007/11/fw-wednesday-meeting-nov-28th.htmlCMedalistag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008025.post-1618314955501626141Sat, 01 Sep 2007 22:39:00 +00002007-09-01T18:39:53.012-04:00Check out the MU Fencing Calandar on the web:http://marauder.millersville.edu/~fencing/calendar/Upcoming practices, events, tournaments, and breaks are listed throughDec '07More competition dates will be added as the local/regional divisionsbegin posting their schedules.http://marauder.millersville.edu/~fencing/blog/2007/09/club-calendar-updates.htmlCMedalistag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008025.post-3301524328426110860Sat, 01 Sep 2007 19:37:00 +00002007-09-01T15:37:10.595-04:00MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY FENCING Announcement:FALL 2007 Fencing Practice Schedule( beginning September 12th)Wednesday Evening 7:00 - 9:00 PMFriday Evening 6:00 - 9:00 PMAll practice sessions to be held in BROOKS GYM (near the pond)Wear comfortable work-out clothing and athletic shoes, bring awater-bottle!!http://marauder.millersville.edu/~fencing/blog/2007/09/mu-fencing-fall-practice-schedule.htmlCMedalistag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24008025.post-3052502699502416882Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:57:00 +00002007-04-19T14:57:36.237-04:00Results for the 2007 Hespenheide Foil are now on the web:http://askfred.net/Results/results.php?tournament_id=3368Pool results and DE table are included.Good Job to MUFG Fencers:(16) Hannah Emig(19) Zach Hoch(21) Emily MontanyeAnd to MUFG Asst.
