Get your Yearbook

The Year Book is back!  

Faculty, Staff, and Students - Sign up for your Yearbook now!

 If you did not already know, the Hilltopper was Carroll's Yearbook in years past and now it is back just in time for our Centennial.
On Wednesday August 27th, at the annual Club Fair held in the Upper Cube from 6-8 pm you can make a $10 deposit to reserve your Yearbook and by ordering early we will personalize it for you! 

It will be a huge benefit to you and us if you sign up early for your Yearbook.  If we can get at least 300 people to sign up early this will enable us to add pages and quality to the book.  It also could lower the cost of your Yearbook.  We estimate the cost at around $60.00 but it could be as low as $50.00.  Your early order will help increase the quality of our book and possibly drop the price. That is what we call a "Win, Win" situation.

So do yourself and us a favor and sign up for your Yearbook on Wednesday night.  

It'll be an exciting night for the Yearbook and its staff, so I hope to see you there!!!

Thanks,  Robyn Swaney - CC Year Book Editor

Barack Obama Internship Opportunity

Barack Obama's Campaign for Change
Helena, Montana

Obama CFC interns will work with the campaign in a varity of ways, including:  attending community events and promoting visibility, working with the constituents of the community including senior citizens and youth, registering people to vote, peer outreach on campus, and voter contact (both via phone and door-to-door canvassing).  This involvement will provide students with unmatched real-world and community experience.

Because each intern's availability and academic commitments will vary, we will customize each intern's schedule.  However, we expect that each student will work, at a minimum:

• 30 hours/week
• At least one weekend day per week working alongside campaign staff
• The entirety of our main Get Out the Vote (GOTV) push from Friday 10/31 to Tuesday 11/4 - Election Day

To apply, call 443-2993 or email Kristin Bailey at kbailey -is-at- montanaforchange -dot- com.

Singing at Carroll sporting events

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN OUR CARROLL COLLEGE SPORTING EVENTS START TO TAKE OFF!!! For all those who attend the games regularly, you know that it always starts off with the singing of the National Anthem. I typically do the singing for these events, along with a few other individuals; however, this year I have lost some singers from the past, due to their moving away.

I am sending this email out to search for any and all Carroll College students who are willing to sing at some of our most inspiring games. There are a lot of home games (i.e. football, basketball, golf, volleyball, etc.) this season, and we need all the help we can get. I am in need of singers in the range of bass, baritone, tenor, alto, and of course, soprano. If you are not entirely comfortable singing by yourself... DON'T WORRY!!!... (besides the soloists, I would like to put together a group for the singing as well). If you are at all interested or have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Thanks,
Mason Preiss
