Activities: 1) We designed and sold t-shirts to celebrate pi day. The shirt design included "PME Pi Day 2017" on the front, and a slice of pie created from the digits of pi on the back. These t-shirts were sold for more than they cost us, and half of the extra proceeds went back into the club, the other half went towards supporting Expanding Your Horizons, a program advocating for STEM involvement in middle school girls 2) We gave the PME marketing materials a facelift, including a complete redesign of our chapter's bulletin board, updating the invitation emails for members to join, and generally trying to grow the PME name.

If you were awarded a PME Lectureship, Conference, or Prize Grant within the past year, please briefly describe the results.
A grant was awarded to us to help support the SUMS Conference, which stands for the Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Conference. This event was a great success, and helped to bring together students and faculty from several universities around our common love for mathematics.
