[UWAB] Elections and Potluck This Thursday
by Linda Huynh 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hello girls! I wanted to remind you all that we will be having our co-chair elections this *Thursday, December 1st* during our meeting. If you are planning to run, please prepare a 30-second speech regarding your candidacy. If you are not able to make the meeting and would still like to run, please prepare either a video or paragraph that we can show our members during the election time. This next meeting will be a potluck dinner. Everyone is encouraged to bring food to prepare for the end of semester and the holiday season. Jen has offered to host the potluck at her apartment, a few minutes drive from campus. If you were going to attend or thinking of attending, please fill out the location survey below. If enough girls respond, we will try to host the potluck at Jen's apartment. Otherwise, we will be meeting in our regular meeting room, CoC 354. Link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KF6GGS6 Any questions or comments should be directed to either me (lhuynh(a)gatech.edu) or Alissa (ahartenbaum3(a)gatech.edu) before the meeting. Thanks, and I hope to see you girls there! Regards, Linda

[UWAB] Great Pumpkin Festival
by Hartenbaum, Alissa J 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello girls, I would like to give a big thank you to everyone who helped out with The Great Pumpkin Festival, especially those of you who participated in set up and clean up. This event took a lot of time and planning, and it was wonderful to see it come to fruition. Despite the weather, it sounds like people had a good time. With about one hundred attendees at the event, every single person who helped out was needed, and we couldn't have done it without you all. Again, thank you to all who helped and attended. We hope to see you at the next meeting, which, due to Grace Hopper, will be on Thursday, November 17th. Alissa Hartenbaum

[UWAB] Pumpkin Festival set-up
by Hartenbaum, Alissa J 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hey girls, To follow up Linda's email about the Fall Festival tomorrow, I would like to add a few notes about set-up. We need all the help we can get, as early as possible, to set up tables and games, place decorations, and prepare food and drinks. If you are looking for a more definite time, we would suggest coming to the CoC around 2:30 pm. Events like this take a long time to set up, and we will need all the time (and people) we can find. It would be terrible if our two hour event started late because set-up took too long. The event will go on, rain or shine, so I will see you all tomorrow! Alissa Hartenbaum

Make sure to put times if you are not going to staff the entire time. We can always use extras! - Link: http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/175 - If you are *staffing*, please review your pre-, during, and post-event requirements concerning space, decorations, and materials. Let me know if we have not covered it during one of our previous meetings ASAP. - If you are* bringing crockpots or other materials*, please make sure you have them by 4pm to Alissa tomorrow in the Klaus Courtyard. - *Advertise, advertise, advertise! *If you can, ask your professors if you can do a last-minute announcements in your classes.
