WEEF Funding
Presentation was last Tuesday, seems to have gone well, we have a good video of it
WEEF members have been leaking allocation results
seems like we $5k which is Option 4 for everything
this is very poor for us compared to past years
unsure why this happened …
possibly a lot of people got defunded because WEEF doesn’t have that much funding to give out
we should wait for allocations and avoid speculation on this stuff
Will wait for final confirmation from the committee
Comp Sync Topics
