Bonfire (this weekend!) and Summer Reminders

 

This weekend! Join us for our annual Beach Bonfire Evidence Burn – Saturday, June 15th. Don’t forget to bring your evidence (or speech drafts) for burning! Signup Genius – click here for BBQ needs and directions. CONTROL and Envoy clubs plan to join us, too. If you’d like to help with the (first-come, first-served) fire pit acquisition, contact Emily Weld.

Summer Speech and Debate Camps (and rebate): We’re offering encouragement in the form of a club-dues discount again this year! Join a summer speech and/or debate camp and receive a $50 per attendee rebate off of your XNIL family club dues for next season. If you hear of a great opportunity this summer, please share on the coaches’ Slack and/or the students’ Ex Nihilo chat to help spread the word (thank you Matt Davis for posting to Slack an invite for one being held already this month, to include a hefty discount for Ex Nihilo students. Carpool, anyone?).  

Ex Nihilo Speech & Debate Summer Workshop – our own plans are coming together to hold a local Stoa workshop, to be held during the week of Aug 5-9. We will email details once finalized. If you’d like to be a part of seminar planning, or on-site coaching/serving/assisting, please contact Monique Hosmer at monique@hosmer.org. 

Team Policy Party/Prep Night — check your TP chat or Slack for a debate invite from Coach Ben Speaks. Summer party & check-in for current and prospective TPers, June 28th. 

Your Ex Nihilo board will be meeting July 1st for upcoming-year planning. If you’d like to give input and feedback to help us improve, please do. Our team is here to serve the club and we welcome your thoughts: https://nihilo.club/leadership-team/. Additionally, if you’d like to be a part of assisting with club needs, please see any of us for more info on how to join a team!

See you at the bonfire this Saturday. 

Warmly,

Jessica Halfpap
