Dear All:

This a gentle reminder that you are all invited to attend the BIC's General Assembly:

Please take a moment to fill a quick survey on the BIC lecture series by tonight: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LCN5D78   
Make sure you are registered to the bic-announce mailing list to stay on top of what's happening at our Centre (http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/mailman/listinfo/bic-announce).

Heads-up - we need volunteers to fill the following positions:
- Travel Award Coordinator (aka Coffee Master)
- Monday Coffee Breaks: organize supply around BIC lectures. Ideally two sociable students/trainees who will encourage their labmates to attend and can share the work load between them
- BIC Promo team (aggressive and agreeable, to develop a line of events and merchandise to promote and raise mini-funds for our activities)    

See you all Monday and have a great week-end,

Sylvain.
