The Foosball Club will meet today from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in room B14! Anyone is welcome, but we prefer people who want a poster of their face. Possible side effects of playing foosball include becoming unreasonably awesome, meeting new people and an increased engagement in friendly banter. For more information, join the Google Classroom using code s4dfu3p or contact club captain Felix Bahrou.
