Club Updates

 * This Friday is our Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon! Join us for an evening of improving articles related to women in the arts. Food will be provided; just bring a laptop, and take a moment to RSVP here. If you don't regularly attend our workshops and would like to get a head start by creating an account and being familiarized with Wikipedia, stop by our weekly workshop tonight!
 * Congratulations to our newly-elected upcoming President and Vice President, Jon McMahon and Emery Dalesio (respectively)! The two of them will choose the club's Treasurer soon - if you are interested in the position, contact Jon and Emery. Later, Board members will be determined. All new officer positions will go into effect in early April after training.
 * On Saturday, several Wikipedia Connection members visited Ohio History Connection's history center to view the exhibitions and learn more about the state's history. A couple photos from the outing:
 * We're participating in The 50,000 Challenge! The aim is to make 50,000 article improvements and creations for the United States. In particular, Wikipedia Connection will be aiming to improve articles related to Ohio. Be sure to sign up if you're interested.
