CME Day Ultimate/Soccer
Good day fellow Engineers,
As mentioned in the CME Hockey Game article, here is the information for this year’s CME Day Ultimate/Soccer activities. Last year we were fortunate with good weather and solid participation. With such a mild spring, we’re hoping to commandeer the same field, across from the Bell Sensplex, for a friendly soccer and/or ultimate game. A fieldhouse has been booked in case of inclement weather.
