Just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the Expo so fun today! Shouts out to UDC's awesome Nutrition Center chefs, and the guest chef from 5-a-Day CSA, to UDC's Music Club and the Tumbleweeds, Phil Telfeyan (our pretty amazing card trick magician), the Wilson HS Art Club, as well as all of our exhibitors, panelists, vendors, guest speakers, and the dedicated UDC staff that made everything go so smoothly. Also to AAA party rentals for letting us change our minds and move a few tents at the last minute (sorry! :/), and to Chipotle for feeding our hungry volunteers. You all are awesome.
