LISSO

Trivia Night

LISSO will be attending Trivia Night at Winchell's (348 Southland Drive) this Thursday, September 9. Trivia starts at 8p and usually goes until around 10. Trivia is always a lot of fun and we usually do pretty well. Winchell's as a restaurant and bar has a full menu and plenty of drinks (alcoholic and non).

*For this event; however, LISSO asks that you would please RSVP if you plan on coming out so can try to reserve room for everyone! For most of our events, we generally are able to make space for all who show up -- but since Winchell's Trivia is a very popular event and Winchell's is not a large place -- we would like make sure that we reserve enough space for everyone who comes out. You can RSVP by leaving a comment on this blog entry, on the Facebook event, by e-mailing the LISSO account (lissouk@gmail.com), or by letting any of the officers know you are planning to attend.
