CHRISTMAS PARTY! RSVP HERE!

FRIDAY, Dec 12th

  • SIGGRAPH Christmas Party: WVA club house.  6:30pm-11pm.  Potluck and White Elephant gift exchange!  To fill out the evening, feel free to bring gaming consoles and remotes, games (board and video), movies, whatever!  Tell us all what you will be bringing so we don’t have tortilla chips and no salsa (you know who you are!)

BOLT the MOVIE! RSVP here!

FRIDAY, Dec 5th

  • Movie screening: Bolt: (Click for Trailer) Ronnie’s Theatre on Lindberg. Time: Around 7ish? (Ronnie’s doesn’t have the 5th posted yet, sorry).  This is going to be exciting.  Come with us to see the movie Steve Meyer, Disney Animator and Kinematifest 2008 Keynote Speaker, worked on!  RSVP, so I have an idea how many tickets to buy!  Very important!  Hopefully, our funds will cover much, if not all, of the cost!

FALL BBQ and POTLUCK!!

Hey all!

 So.. here is the 4-1-1 about the BBQ (has anyone said that since 7th grade?).

 

Kristen DiFate’s apartment:

Ely Walker Lofts

1520 Washington Ave

Apt #427

 NOTE: you have to buzz her apt number to get into the building.

 

This year, we are continuing the Slush Fund collection as we did last year.  SGA has a cap on money allocated for food, so if we all like food at meetings, we need your help!  Donate any spare cash you feel appropriate!  THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance!

 

*Also, bring a dessert or side dish of your choice.  Michele is bringing some pop (soda… for those who can’t translate), but bring other beverages if you wish to contribute.  Community feasting is the best!  Ah, club bonding… :D

 

Comment to this message for RSVP, car pooling, and potluck contributions.

 

See you all there!  I’m really excited…. :D

 

Love and adoration,

Leah
