[committee] CASSA+UCC+COMSSA Pre-Season Mixer?

[Alexandra Helens]

Hi!  For those of you who don't know me, my name is Alexandra and I'm the
social events rep for CASSA.
(Those who *do *know me might know me as Eskilla.)

Yesterday in IRC, discussion with spartan and tpg of UCC resulted in the
idea of a party hosted by both of our clubs sometime next month.  We'd
probably hold it at UCC's clubroom as theirs is actually big enough to call
it a room - CASSA's is more like a clubcloset*.  We could order some
catering - pizza, subway platters, and nando's platters were discussed, but
pretty much every fast food place does catering at this point - and pre-pay
it out of our club funds.  Attendees could pay a set fee (about $8 should
cover it) to reimburse the clubs.  I figure as long as we have good, solid
RSVP numbers, we should be able to do this.

UCC has plenty of computers, so you guys could provide the PC games -
perhaps even set up a Artemis ship for walk-up/drop out play.  CASSA has a
PS3 to offer, and I'm sure between our memberships we could hustle up a
couple more consoles.  Not sure what COMSSA has.

Food+Games+a music system=awesome fun times.

We'll want to make sure that we have the right amount of food and games for
attendees (and in this, my main concern would be buying too *much* food and
bringing *more* consoles then we need, resulting in extra work).  I think
the first order of business on the Mixer would be each club determining
who's likely to show up to a party *with a small entry fee* (as that can
change likely numbers).  Ask around, do a poll, request emails - whatever
you think will work best with your individual club, but please impress upon
members that we need reliable attendance numbers to plan this for maximum
awesomeness.

*First Order of Business: **Is your club interested?  Will your club be
able to front some money for catering?  How many of your members do you
think will show?  What funtimes-related resources will your club be able to
provide (consoles, PC's if we don't have this at UCC, sound system, lights
maybe)?*

Thanks,
Alexandra

*although, I keep hearing something about UCC moving rooms, or doing
renovation, or something??  Not sure what the sitch is, but if that's not
do-able we can book our usual MegaLAN space at ECU ML.  That's got 3
projectors and capacity of about 100 people; it should be fine.**

**Actually, before we pick a place, maybe we should try to figure out a
likely attendance number - UCC's got a good amount of space, but I get the
impression from COMSSA's FB page that they might be DTP*** and if there's
enough people, ECU ML might be more suitable.  I don't know.  Let's get
those numbers.
