Promotional Information
The deadline for turning in the application is Febuary 6th. You can also find the promotional application on the MWKF website. Thank your lucky star that Tyler Zimmerman sempai is now our MWKF VP of promotion, so you can hand him the application directly.
Hopefully the website won’t explode in the next few days…
