Hello all, Candis and I would like to thank all of you for making CoCaesar's Palace 2010 a success! You cannot believe the number of people that came up to me and complimented on our organization and what a great event it was. I, myself, had a lot of fun talking with faculty and meeting new students! Thanks again and I hope all of you had as much fun as I did because* this could not have happened with your contribution*!! Remember we have a meeting this Thursday @ 5-6pm in CCB354 and movie night and Yahoo field day/picnic coming up!! So I hope to see you all soon!! :) P.S. y'all make some darn good food.

[UWAB] CoCaesar's - We Need Your Help!
by cpham3＠gatech.edu 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Good morning girls, We're definitely in crunch time mode for CoCaesar's and we could really use your help on a few things. - I need your professor times ASAP. The ones up on the swiki are the only professors and staff members I've heard from so far and there are a lot of time slots to fill (http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/166) If you or a friend knows how to deal a game and would like to volunteer for a little bit, feel free to sign your name up too (though it may get booted if a professor wants that time slot). - Sign-ups are up on the swiki (http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/167) We still need people for the registration table/ chip exchange, set-up (I'll have a to-do list on the board in the 3rd floor student orgs room in the morning), mocktails table, and DJing - More advertising :). I'll have some printed posters on my desk in the CoC if you'd like to stop by and hang some more up. That was one of our biggest improvement suggestions last year from people who attended. A lot of them said how they didn't know about the event and just happened upon it. - 6:00p TODAY - Meet up at the CoC- 3rd floor orgs room to either chalk or go shopping - 8:00p TODAY - Meet at Maulding apartments to prepare food If you have any comments or questions, feel free to email me (cpham3(a)gatech.edu) or Victoria (vau(a)gatech.edu) Thanks, and I hope to see you later today! -- Candis Pham B.S.
