ROARING INTO OUR 20's

During the "Roaring into Our 20's Celebration," there was a raffle for two Spring 2010 parking permits.  Here is the reaction of one of the lucky winners:

"No one could have "Roared" louder at CSUSM's 20th anniversary celebration than me. I sat on the Craven Hall stairs looking at my cool new shirt and enjoying my free pizza. The festivities were fun and President Hanes gave a great speech. I knew the chances were slim on winning a parking pass since raffle tickets were being passed out like candy. The first girl won and I became anxious. Then the second number winner did not show up! I was beginning to feel a little bit more hopeful. The next thing I know they were calling all of my numbers and once they said 8 I jumped in the air and "Roared"! This was definitely one of the best moments at CSUSM. Thank you parking services for giving me the chance to win a FREE parking pass. You have made my semester and wallet a little bit better."
