This is not your regular noodles night. We are clearing out the top floor of Noodles and Co on State St. for UMBDT and friends to DANCE. Ballroom music will be blasting in the restaurant from 4-9, and it’s our place to take over, eat dinner, have fun, and dance the evening away.

We need people there dancing at ALL TIMES, likely both inside and outside of the restaurant. If you don’t know how to dance, no problem! UMBDT will have couples ready to teach you some awesome moves. We’re extremely lucky to have this opportunity to partner with Noodles & Co. The proceeds that UMBDT obtains from the event will go towards the Make -A-Wish FoundationĀ®.

Please, please, please come eat and dance with the team on Wednesday, Sept. 8th anytime from 4-9pm. Be sure to pick up a Noodles flyer from our table before the event; only those who show a flyer while purchasing a meal will be counted. To pick up a flyer, just stop by our table at Festifall earlier in the day.

Bring friends, family, classmates, significant others, whoever you’d like. We guarantee it’ll be a fun night to remember!

In line with our goals of creating an atmosphere of greater transparency and collaboration around UMBDT, we are excited to announce the first UMBDT Town Hall Meeting for 2010-2011. This will be a chance for all members of the team to ask questions, give suggestions, express concerns about any team-related issue, and grab a tasty bite all at the same time. The board will also come to the meeting with items we’d like input from the team as well. After all is said and done, we want to ensure that the decisions made accurately reflect the views of UMBDT members. We encourage any and all team members to come; if for any reason you cannot make the meeting and would still like to contribute ideas, please leave a comment to this post.

Details regarding the meeting are below:

Date: Monday, August 23, 2010
Time: 6:00PM
Location: Sava’s State Street Cafe (the large room at the back of the restaurant)
211 South State Street
Ann Arbor, MI 48104

FYI – it’s $1 burger night =)

Hey Team,

In an effort to increase transparency, the team is preparing monthly cash flow statements with all the team’s inflows and outflows included.Ā  If you would like to view these statements, please email Carey (cgoenka@umich.edu) and arrange a time to meet with her at DTS. You can look at any statement you’d like and ask questions–however, the statements cannot be emailed or taken from her computer.

Happy Dancing!
