The Vassar Haiti Project held its first meeting\/stretching party of the semester on last Friday, February 4th. It was a well-attended meeting; plans were laid out, paintings were stretched, committees were signed up for and a lot of pizza was eaten. Since it was my first meeting, I learned to stretch paintings and although I still can\u2019t do one entirely on my own, everyone (especially Sebastian) was really helpful. I liked the meeting so much that I decided I was coming back and signed up to write with Annie and Nana for the blog on a whim. <\/p>\n
The atmosphere at the meeting was great. After the opening remarks by Lila and Andrew Meade and introductions by everyone in the room, co-president Samin Shehab \u201811 recapped a few events from last semester. Lots of old and new faces were present and I was surprised by how friendly everyone was. I\u2019m looking forward to this Friday\u2019s meeting already. The VHP meets on Fridays at 5:30 in the College Center MPR\u2014feel free to stop by and join us if you can.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m really excited to see where Annie, Nana and I go with the blog this year. I look forward to reading your comments and questions.
