Russian Club
HIllwood Museum:
Joy: Tell us about the event.
We're going there April 12th, the museum houses russian and french art. It will be
educational.
Fouad: So the money for tickets is going towards students and the 5 adults?
yes.
Fouad: And the quote from the gas money is from where?
Well we thought we could fit everyone in 3 cars and that would be $10 dollars roundtrip
to washington dc.
Joy: The adults aren't students correct?
Yes theyre not students.
Joy: Well the student fee money is only for students so we cant really fund
for the adults.
David: you had an event earlier int he year that you didnt get refunded for, you
can just reallocate that.
Yes, that was our idea.
Yasmmin: How much are the student and adult tickets?
The student tickets are $7 and the adults tickets are $12.
Thank You
Delta Epsilon induction:
David: Do you have the breakdown of the costs?
Cords for inductees $564, food $3500, decorations $150.
Yasmin: How many inductees are there?
Last year about 45-50.
Christine: What are your requirements for admission?
a 3.5 gpa in economics classes.
Joy: so the event is open to everyone?
yes, anyone can attend the induction but the cords are only
for inductees.
Joy: How many people are you expecting?
about 130-150.
Yasmin: Do you think itll be only students or others?
Well half of the attendees are inductees. The rest are other students,
faculty, ppl who give out the awards, etc.
Joy: How do you advertise this event?
We dont advertise, we send out invitations. OUr donors and faculty get and send out
mass emails but its not advertised to students other than those inducted who can
invite their friends.
Christine: If you dont get money for this how will you fund it?
Well itll be difficult because the econ dept has had budget cuts this year
and its extremley important for us to get funding.
Joy: Were you funded last year?
Yes we did.
Yasmin: If you're using this event to get people to look at your club then
why dont you advertise?
Well we advertise for accounting club and econ COM but this is kind of like the Golden
Key society. Not everyone can become an inductee unless they meet the criteria but we
definitely advertise through other organizations such as accounting club and econ com.
I also wanted to clear up that we dont charge but we do charge inductees $5 to
ensure they
attend. The money from this goes towards other costs we incur. We charge guests but
inducted students get in for $5, Frnds of these students would have to pay the $30.
Joy: Typically we dont give money to an event thats charging students.
Thats why we're asking for money to cover the students who dont pay enough to cover
the food.
That way we dont have to charge students.
Joy: So youre asking for $3500 for food so that you wont have to charge students?
Yes, if we get this funding we wont have to charge students, but if we dont then
we'll have
to charge our guests, etc.
Thank You
Delta Phi Epsilon:
JoyL Can you tel us about awareness week?
We have an awareness week in March to raise awareness about anorexia, etc.We're
tryign to
make the event bigger and bigger so we're asking for money this year.
Fouad: Where will this event take placce?
Over the week the events will take place on campus.
'
Joy: How many people do you expect?
Well for example at the bake sale it will be whoever passes by.Our biggest event will
be the vigil on Thursday where our sorority, other greek members and faculty attend.
Last year we had close to 100 for this.
Christine: what kind of food are you having?
It will be mostly cookies and cupcakes for the bake sale. The vigil will be real
food like
pasta, etc. OUr sorority will be cooking as well. The bake sale isnt really a sale
though,
we're giving out food and asking for donations.
Christine: Can you explain the bake sale?
Well we're goingn to hand out goods, raise awareness, etc. We have information
pamphlets,
to try and catchattention and get the name out there.
Yasmin: Where is the vigil taking place?
Itll be outside behind the commons but in case it rains we'll have a room reserved.
Thank You
