[UWAB] Thoughts for CoCaesar's
by Linda Huynh 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hello girls, I was thinking about CoCaesar's and rememberd that a lot of you wanted to know what you could do before this week's meeting. I thought of the following: First of all, look at the swiki stations page<http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/171>and sign up for one or more slots. We need as many girls as we can manning the stations for the *entirety *of the event. While the OEC might be hiring a company to run the gaming tables, it is our responsibility to take care of the social part of the event. One of the reasons we did not have a CoCaesar's last year was because some of our members did not take this responsibility seriously. You can obviously take breaks, but please remember that we are the organization hosting the event. We have other events to relax; this is one we have to work at to pull off. Second, once you sign up, think about the ways you would decorate your station with our theme (right now, it's "black, white, and red"). What colour is your tablecloth? What is the centerpiece? How are your chairs arranged? We can use everyone's ideas for how they want their station decorated to come up with a coherent theme across the entire event. Remember, the devil is in the details! Third, advertising. How can we advertise the event to get the maximum amount of people to show up? Kristin, our faculty advisor, recommended placing playing cards around the CoC Commons with hints about "an upcoming event." For those of you artistically inclined, start thinking about posters that we can print out to hang up around the Commons and anywhere else we can legally put them. We need submissions as soon as possible. Here are some other things to think about: What prizes are we going to raffle off? Guests will have the opportunity to trade in their coins for raffle tickets so we are going to need prize ideas. Large or small, we can determine what we can actually get at the next meeting. Kristin also mentioned that we could also use the event to spread word about the wonderful student organizations we have at the College. If you want to help, you all could find a "Did You Know?" about one of our student organizations. It'll help you guys learn about them and we can spread them around the Atrium for other people to see! I know this was long, but you all did ask. ;) If you have any thoughts, send an email to me (lhuynh(a)gatech.edu) or Alissa (ahartenbaum3(a)gatech.edu) See you all Thursday! Sincerely, Linda -- Linda Huynh BS Computer Science 2012 Georgia Institute of Technology
