        1. Claim they submitted their budget on time but were warned that CEB does not hear budgets that were not submitted on time. 

        2. Dear cultural events board 

        3. My name is Chad Tannous. I am the president of students for sensible drug policy at CU Boulder. I am writing to you in the deepest regret, as a budget proposal which to the best of my knowledge was submitted on Friday for some reason didn’t go through. I told my liaison l was 100% sure I submitted it on Friday, yet she was unable to find anything submitted in time to submit to you for hearing over the weekend. While I am unsure if this was a technological glitch or an internet glitch, I am writing to you to beg for your leniency as this evening you will be deciding on whether or not to hear my proposal late. We have run the cannabis and psychedelic symposium for 7 years now, and we are expecting a great turn out, so please consider that having an intellectual and respectful 4/20 event on the boulder campus could do allot to counter stigmatized narratives about cu boulder that have risen from events like the 4/20 smoke out. I am asking with all seriousness in my heart that you consider my request for funding, as we listened to all of your pointers from last year’s events and incorporated them into our proposal.

        4. Please try to understand I submitted the proposal on Friday, and whatever error happened that caused my Liaison Christina to not receive the submission, the cultural culture of the school shouldn’t suffer for it.

        5. All the best

        6. Chad
