Advertising with fliers, etc. Free and open to all students.
MId Atlantic Regional Conference:
The conference this year is in Western virginia. Its the main thing that we do, its
the gathering
for all the chapters of our organization in the area. We're expecting 21 people,
we're going to
have to fundraise even if we get all the money we requested. Any student can go
we'll just split
the money between everyone and fundraise the rest. Last year we had 30 people going.
Guantanamo Bay Demonstration:
Organization members will dress as detainees on Main street and collect signatures
for our
petition. The quotes for the costumes are from our area coordinator. The event will be
in October. We're expecting 10 people to dress. We're advertising for the event as
well.
Banner:
We're trying to get a banner as well as flags to stick in the ground to generate
awareness
of the Israel- Palestine conflict. We're collaborating with the Arab Student Union
as well.
Sikh SA
Gurpurab
Biggest event of the year. Held in UC last year. We have a PPT presentation by board
members.
Its a educational event where we teach poeple about our religion. After that we
have a
dinner and music. The dinner is formal also and everyone dresses up. Itll be in the
first
week of October. The quotes are from the restaurant tat we're catering from. The
room rental,
security and equipment quotes are from last year.
Paath Prayer Service:
Monthly prayer service at Interfaith center. Open to everyone, where we pray, and
eat a small
serving at the end of the prayer.
New York Trip:
Had it this year but we didnt have enough funding so we went with College Park. Its
the biggest
event for Sikhs in the US. If we dont go with the school everyone ends up going
anyway, so
we wanted to the school to go as a group. Its a day trip starting at 7:30 in the
morning and
come back at 10 at night. This year we had about 25 people go. The bus quote is from
UMBC transit. Open to everyone, we're advertising through common vision, etc.
Thank You
Poli Sci COM:
Brown Bag event:
We choose a professor from our department, usually its a general Q/A with them. The
event
provides an informal environment to develop a relationship with a professor. The
cost is for
light refreshments. The honorarium is for the speaker. Open to everyone, advertising
through
list serv.
Capoeira
Festival
Brazilian martial art dance fightin form. The festival is basically to initiate our
members
into the art. Basically like getting a belt in other martial arts. WE need the
traditional
instruments which we requested funding for to actually hold such an event. A lot of
our members
need to progress in the art and we need to have this event in order for them to do
so. Its
also something that would be open to everyone and the community. The t shirts are
something
we would sell to fundraise for a future event or to fund this event. The event would
be free to
UMBC students to watch. Any student can join the club, but someone who hasnt trained
cant
really particiapte in the event other than watching as it would be dangerous for
them. We'd
like to have fliers made to post on campus. Most of the advertising generally
happens through
emails. The plane ticket request is only half the cost for the ticket as we have to
pay for
him to come here from brazil. We're going to fundraise the other half of the ticket.
We're also going to have other teachers come in who aren't as high up as our main
"Mestre."
We cant do the event without the Mestre. We also need the instruments for the club
so that
they last for the club in the future. Right now we use our own personal ones but we
need
something for the club.
Thank You
Orthodox Christian Fellowship
Coffeehouse
Its an event we have in September. Its an open mike for students to perform. itll be
in the
sportzone. We're going to provide coffee. We've had the event twice this past semester.
The $50 is for the equipment. Its open to everyone and free.
Thank You
Pre Med Society
INvolvement Fest Fall 2008
We're trying to bring a blood pressure machine, other medical equipment to generate
some
interest. We're also trying to get Pre med society pens.
Yasmin: Your pen quote seems a little pricey, could you try pens.com, theyre a lot
cheaper
and provide decent pens.
We'll try that. We want pens to advertise to students.
Guest Speaker:
We have guest speakers from different institutes and our members can interact with
them, etc.
Its a great opportunity for members, and students.
thank You
