Well, it's on again. We are gearing up for the fifth annual Cameron Hall Charity Vigil, and it's time to start getting involved. Like last year, we will be raising money for Youth Focus, a local charity who work to prevent youth suicide, and we hope to raise more than the $1200 we donated to them last year. We are also pleased to welcome UCS, who will also be helping out this year. To come along, you need to either: - get a sponsorship form from Unigames, UCC, UniSFA or UWAnime (they should be finished by this weekend) and collect at least $8 sponsorship OR (the wimp option) - pay $10 at the door (of course more substantial donations are always welcome ;). Of course, the point is to raise money for charity, so you should all choose the first option. Plus there will (probably) be a prize for the person who raises the most for charity :) Note that anyone who sponsors themselves $8 just to save a couple of dollars will be subject to much scorn. And made to read very, very bad fanfic. We'd like to add in an additional plea here. Please try your hardest to raise as much sponsorship as possible. We really want to beat last year's total, and when you think about it, something like $20 is only $2 from 10 people. The Vigil will be at Cameron Hall on Friday 17th September starting at 7pm, and will continue into Saturday morning (assuming Risk Management plans are accepted and everything is good to go). There will be plenty to keep you occupied all night, including: - Movies and anime! Two screens of the best pop culture money can download or rent! Either in the UWAnime clubroom or on the HUGE TV in UniSFA. - LAN gaming - mmmmm, Enemy Territory. - Board games (Knights and Cities of Cataan, among others). If you suck at anything requiring skill, someone might bring Snakes And Ladders if you wish hard enough, and Unigames does have Hungry Hungry Hippos. - Food. And Drink. Entry includes pizza for dinner and muffins for breakfast. The fridges and machines of all three clubs will also be open for business, with all proceeds going to charity. The 17th is, at this stage, still a tentative date. If you have major problems attending on the friday, let one of the Vigil subcommittee know. If we get sufficient numbers of people unable to attend, we may switch it over to the saturday (18th). If you have major problems attending the saturday, let us know as well, just in case we have to consider a change. However, if you can't attend, and we are unable to accommodate you, try and get some sponsorship anyway. It's a good cause. ^_^ So, bug someone from one of the clubs to give you a sponsorship form, and start collecting today. See you all there, Vigil organising subcommittee Jennifer McCutcheon Chas Stan-Bishop Chris Bobridge Chenoa Crabb Susie Hellings Rosie UCSperson NOTE 1: There is no note one. This may have something to do with Maelkann being too lazy to renumber the notes. NOTE 2: The Charity Vigil is a strictly _Alcohol Free_ event. (also, drug free...) NOTE 3: Hmmm. I wonder how observant people are out there. And how good their memories are *grin* From velithya@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Mon Aug 30 05:29:52 2004 From: velithya@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (Jen McCutcheon) Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 13:29:52 +0800 (WST) Subject: [ucc-announce] Charity Vigil Sponsorship Forms now available! Message-ID: Hey everyone, As the subject suggests, sponsorship forms for the Cameron Hall Charity Vigil are now available. You can find them in Unisfa on a crate in the middle of the room, in UCC next to Chas' computer just inside the door, and... somewhere in UWAnime. Please try and pick one up as soon as you can, as there's only two and a half weeks to go. Thank you, Charity Vigil subcommittee Jen Chas Chenoa Maelkann Susie Rosie From coxy@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au Tue Aug 31 06:05:22 2004 From: coxy@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au (James Cox) Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 14:05:22 +0800 (WST) Subject: [ucc-announce] UCCLAN v4 is on!
