People who were signing up for clubs:

Aydin Arik: “It was amazing because we got to hear about different people’s passions”

Naya Gomez: “I think Club’s Fair was a good way to learn because the clubs are all out here at once so you are forced to see everything. I learned a lot, especially about the clubs with flyers and poster boards. It made me more interested in a lot of the clubs, and I signed up for more than I thought I would. I signed up for the Go Oceans Club, MUN, Lit Mag and Robotics”

Emily Lassiter: “Club’s Fair was a great opportunity to see what people are interested in and see if maybe we have the same interests.”
