[UWAB] Pumpkin Palooza
by Whitlow,Jennifer Nicole 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Hey girls! I just want to update yall on what is going on with Pumpkin Palooza. We have nixed the charity raffle because we couldn't decide what we wanted to raffle off and we had a limited list of things we could do. Heather, how are the gift certificate/prize donations going? Also, any one is welcome to bake stuff for the bake sale. We also need popcorn and drinks that are not going to be sold. Jordan and I will take care of that and decorations. Sunday afternoon we will need to get together to start decorating the commons and CoC, we will also need to finish posters for our booths and make sure we have all the supplies needed for the booths including small prizes, candy, balloons, etc. If yall can help out on Sunday afternoon that would be great. I will email you later this week with a time and place. Also, I realized that I have a test Monday from 8-10 so I will only be able to stay until 8 but I will be there before to help set-up and I will try to get back as quickly as possible from my test. Alicia and Jordan will be there to make sure things run smoothly. I hope yall are getting excited! Jennifer

by Laura Parker 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

Two things- 1. Friday is ladies night. We can all get something to eat and go back to my house for daiquiris, toenail painting, and whatnot. Email me back if you are available and if you have food suggestions. 2. Airbrushed T-shirts with pumpkins on them are 2 for $5. Add your name and bedazzle the heck out of it yourself on Friday. Priyanka will bedazzle shirts for any of you who are unfamiliar with the process, she's an expert. Email me with your size if you want one. All the cool kids are wearing them to the pumpkin palooza. Basically, you can have your own little piece of heaven for as little as $2.50. -Laura
