Tour Club Fair, complete passport for t-shirt, lunch

Mt. Hood’s Student Organization Council (SOC) will present a Club Fair next week, filled with magicians, free food and movies.

The Fair runs in the Student Union from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and 3 to 5 p.m. on Thursday.

It pays to arrive early each day: The first 30 students to visit each of the Club Fair tables and fill out their passport get a free T-shirt and lunch.

The theme of the fair this year is the beloved film classic “The Goonies.” There will be three free showings of the movie on Thursday, at 3, 5, and 7 p.m. in the Visual Arts Theater.

Each day as the fair opens, a special soup and hot chocolate will be provided free while they last.

On Wednesday, magician Hart Keene will perform his blend of magic, mentalism and comedy. Originally from Eugene, he was featured on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” in 2010.

Emma Bird, SOC director, urged students to take advantage of the chance to check out the active groups on campus. “Students should attend Club Fair because it’s a great way for students to get involved at Mt. Hood and join a club with people who have similar interests,” Bird said.

“It’s an opportunity for us to show enthusiasm for exploration,” says Rob Sotin, president of the MHCC Science Club. “Students can discover things they never knew existed in the world.”

Clubs scheduled to participate include:

Black Student Union, Clay Club, Collegium Musicum, English Conversation Club, Gamers Club, Gay Straight Alliance (GSA), Hotel Tourism & Restaurant Club (HTR), Image Makers, Japanese Club, Jazz Club, M.E.Ch.A., Mental Health and Human Services, Navigators, Rho Theta, R.I.C.E. Club, Science Club, Student Nurses Association, Student Surgical Technologist Associated Team (SSTAT), Vector Math Club, Wildside Club, American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE).
