Ellen briefly recapped the 1997-98 Senate year. We began with President Hughes addressing the Senate in July. The day we worked at the WSU booth at the State Fair, coordinated by Kathy Farney, was a big success. Kathy had bright yellow WSU shirts for each of us and also she had a schedule of events at the fair that day and sent us to those events. Therefore, we went to the people rather than waiting for them to come in our building and by our booth.
