V M Day!

President Nichols (R)  congratulating Commander Verdeschi (L)

We have VICTORY in our battle against malaria! 

The power of Steds mullets could not be repelled, and the enemy is now on the run. With the nets that will be purchased through your donations, the enemy will cede more territory, and soon, malaria will have no place to hide. 

While our boys are returning home, our fight is not over, the war will go. Indeed, the enemy will see our brave boys and their powerful, magnificent mullets again! But for now, it’s back to the Steds barracks for some R&R and a haircut!

Earlier this afternoon, President Nichols and Vice Presidents Moriarty and Giugliano received Steds Mullet Commander in Chief, Matt Verdeschi, in the Gregorian Mural Room, receiving his order to cease operations and demobilize. And as sign of the Hall's gratitude, Verdeschi was promoted and elevated to Supreme Commander in Chief of Mullet forces.

On the successful campaign, the Supreme Commander shared, “After a hard-fought battle, our troops with their luscious mullets can confidently declare victory. But know this… We shall ALWAYS go on to the end. We shall fight on grassy quads, we shall fight in dinning halls, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the classrooms, we shall defend those in need of our help, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the sidewalks, we shall fight in the bookstore, we shall fight in the sports fields and in the stadium, we shall fight in the parking lots, we shall never surrender, for the kids!”

We thank those who gave their follicles for the fight, but we also must give THANKS to all those from who joined us in this fight, monitoring our progress, buoying our spirits, making donations, all of which made this campaign a RESOUNDING SUCCESS beyond our imagination, raising $18,315! Whether or not we donned a mullet, regardless of where we are, today's victory is something we ALL can be proud of and celebrate! THANK YOU!
