EOH Sign-Up

EOH is just around the corner, which means we will need volunteers to man SAB’s stations. Your team lead should send out a link to the sign-up sheet sometime this week, and you are highly encouraged to work for at least an hour. And while you’re at it, you may as well sign up for 5 hours because it will be five times the fun!
