Club Initiative
Club initiatives are new for TOT this year! These are volunteer events that we will participate in with as much of our membership as possible. We'll be attending these events in collaboration with other education groups, so get the word out if you can! Our first club initiative is:
  • Math Fair, Powered by the MIND Research Institute (see flyer for details)
Make sure to save the date: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2016.

Presentation
Professor Susan Toma-Berge, TOT's Advisor and Instructor in UCI's Multiple Subject Teacher Credential Program, gave a presentation about becoming a teacher in California. If you'd like to email her any questions, email her at tomas@uci.edu.

Club Costs and T-Shirts
Club costs help us pay for club t-shirts, purchase snacks for meetings, and help us be a more powerful, driven, organizing body of educators. Club costs this year are a one-time payment of $5. There's no set due date yet, so for now, keep club costs in mind.

Email Issues
For some reason, several people have not been able to receive emails from TOT. Consequently, there are people who'd like to stay informed about TOT, but due to technical difficulties, they can't. :( So please try to spread the word about TOT to those who you think might be interested.
