[UWAB] Mafia Night - Success!
by Daniel Grim 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give everyone a shout out and say great job! Everyone I talked to said they had a great time, and really enjoyed themselves. We seemed to have just the right amount of food and drinks, and there were plenty of prizes to go around. I haven't counted the attendance yet, but I heard it was somewhere over the 60 mark, which is really good. Everyone did a great job with setup and cleanup, and it was a great experience working together (as usual!). Women and M@CC, thanks again for the prizes, the M@CCmovie pack, VIP Passes, and Nerf Guns were a hit. The next big event going down is Women's CoCeasers in about 3 weeks, so I hope everyone is ready to make this event bigger and better than the Tech Rec event. Thanks again, Daniel -- CS 1332 TA SAB@CC Chair 3rd Year Computer Science Grim(a)gatech.edu
