[UWAB] Updates from 3/17 Meeting
by Sabina Karkin 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Hi ladies, Well Spring Break is officially here (yay!), but I thought I'd send updates from our last meeting since a lot of you could not make it and also ask the status of certain things since then. We decided to start asking CS grad students and TA's to be dealers at our event since we have a lot more tables this year and not enough professors so far. We'll see how many professors can make it, and we'll decide by the week of if we need to approach grads and TA's. I created a link on Swiki under Grad Students/TA Invitations (http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/56) so that we can all put the names of the people we know so that you can invite those students. Please do this by the end of Spring Break so that if needed, we can start asking as soon as we get back to school. Maureen will email all the TA's at the beginning of that week. We might also have to buy some gift certificates for prizes if we do not end up having enough, but we will decide that the week of so just keep it in mind. We also talked about emailing undergrads and grads about our event since most of our publicity stuff was removed. We can send the first email Sunday, the last day of Spring Break, and then a reminder the day before/of the event. Maureen will be emailing the list. -Brittany - Were you able to send Maureen the info email that she'll be sending to all grads and undergrads? Please let me know when you get a chance to do that. -Laura P. - Were you able to send Maureen the info email that will go out to all the TA's? -Anne - Did you order the T-shirts on Thursday and is everything ready to go? -Michelle - What's the update on the newsgroup idea, and also, were you able to get the cups/cards on Thursday? -Shruthi - Did you email people from MICS, ACM, and FAB about being helpers? -Anne - Will you be able to get the roll paper from your dad for our tables? (If so, Mandy, you do not need to purchase any.) -Everyone - Please let us know if you will be available Sunday, March 27th (or any day before that), to help with cutting the publicity cards and making the banners. I know Shruthi and Priyanka will be available for some days during Spring Break so if you two and anyone else who can want to get together and start working on things, please do so. Ask us any questions you have; you can also call my cell (678-662-8824). I'll be in town until Thursday. Thank you girls so much. Please feel free to update the Swiki as necessary. I hope that everyone has an awesome Spring Break, and I'll see you guys when we get back! Be safe! ~Sabina ------------------------------------------ Sabina Karkin 4th Year Computer Science Major Cognitive Science Minor Georgia Institute of Technology

[UWAB] call for dealers!!!
by Mandy Zielonka 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Hey girls, Sorry I couldn't make the meeting today, I had to tour. Anyway, it looks like we are going to be way short on dealers (we have 4 confirmed and we have 16-20 game tables, and this is without knowing if those 4 are staying the whole 3 hours or not.) So, we need to start asking others ASAP! Ask you friends, grad students, TAs, your friendly Deans, bug you professors (nicely) and see if they have responded to Laura. Tell all people who want to deal to email Laura P. We all will not be able to help out very much as dealers since we have to man the food, sign-in, chips, mock tails, and raffle tables- so we need LOTS of volunteers to help then! ~Mandy -------------------------------------------------- Mandy Zielonka 5th Year Computer Science Major Georgia Institute of Technology
