Banquet, Elections, Slideshow, Relay for Life, and Web Site
On March 20th, from noon to 4 p.m. Atlas will be having its first ever banquet! We’ll be having a nice lunch, giving out some awards, listening to some speeches, and dancing! It’s the first time we’ve ever done this, and we really expect it to be an amazing event. The cost will be about $15 per person, and we will have HUB hours the week we get back from break to collect money. Both of our families are coming to this, and we also encourage you to ask your parents if they’d like to come as well. We want them to see the amazing group that you’ve become a part of and to see what you’ve been putting in so much effort for. I’m going to put up an ANGEL survey for everyone to fill out once we know the exact price (probably this Friday). If you want to come to the banquet, you must fill out the survey by next Friday (3/12). I’ll send out an email letting you know that I’ve put the survey up. Get excited for the banquet—it is going to be amazing!
If you are considering running for one of the exec board positions, we will be having a meeting during the week we get back from break that you are required to attend. At the meeting, each current exec board member will go over what they do for the team, specifically what happens behind the scenes and what makes the job both difficult and rewarding. We also want you to talk to the current chair of whatever position(s) you’re thinking about running for so that you have a better idea of what they do. I’ll send an email with the exact day of the meeting, but it will probably be around 8 p.m. in Atherton Hall so keep your schedule as flexible as possible please.
You will also be required to fill out an application if you plan to run for any positions. Those will go out after the meeting we have the week we get back…
Also, please do not be intimidated or think that you are not up to the challenge of being an exec board member, regardless of your year or how long you’ve been in Atlas. I truly believe in all of you and think that no matter who wins the elections, Atlas is in good hands next year. I ran for an exec board position when I was a freshman and being on the exec board my sophomore year really prepared me for this year (it also was a lot of fun!). If you’re interested in talking about it just contact us and we’ll be happy to talk to you!
We are putting together a slideshow with pictures and videos from the entire year! If you have any pictures or videos you want in the slideshow, please send them to me, Dan Levy, as soon as possible. Pictures from canning, social events, family events, etc. are perfect! But please do not use any pictures showing red cups, milk & cookies, or anything like that. If you want to use pictures from the formal or another “wet” social, make sure they’re appropriate. Basically, just use your common sense. I trust you all… except Staloff.
This year Atlas is sponsoring a Relay for Life team! Just because THON is over, that doesn’t mean we’re not a team. We really could make this event amazing and memorable if we put good effort into it. Our team will be 100% supported by Atlas and the exec board, but we want someone who is interested in making Atlas a part of Relay to become the team captain. This would be an awesome job and with so many great leaders on the team, I’m sure our Relay team will be great! Relay for Life is on April 10, so things need to get moving quickly. If you want to be the team captain or want to be a part of the Atlas Relay for Life team, just email Brandon Leibowitz!
Sadly Jacob Budin, Atlas’s Web developer, is graduating this semester. That means that we’ll need someone to take over as our Web guru after he graduates. If you know HTML/CSS, PHP, and SQL and would like to be the next Web guru, email me, Dan Levy, back to let me know. We could also split up the job, with one person running the website, one running our Twitter, etc. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to email me back with your ideas!
As always, let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or thoughts!
