Hello Classics Society Members!
Today was our second meeting, and events and such are coming together nicely. Here's what we covered:
I. T-shirts: A design was brought forward ("Wisconsin Classics" on the front, UW seal on the back, white print, red shirt), and the consensus was positive. Ashley & Crescentia are leading the effort to look into ordering through Underground. Interest has been expressed for both short-sleeves and long sleeves.
II. Selling Pizzas: We're thinking of saving this for spring semester, since t-shirt is our main fundraising effort as of now. But if anyone wants to make it happen this semester, and is able to plan it, email Katie or I.
III. Volunteers for Majors Fair: On Tuesday the 19th from 3-5:30, the Majors Fair is taking place in Memorial Union. We've already got a good roster for persons to promote the Classics department, but if anyone who wasn't at the meeting is enthusiastic about this opportunity, send an email to Katie or I. You can be present at the fair for as long as your schedule allows. Having a good crowd for Classics is great promotion!
IV. Events:
i. October 26th, after the 6:00 meeting: Movie night! On the ballot for viewing: 300, Jason & the Argonauts, Life of Brian, History of the World Part One, Troy, O Brother, Where Art Thou? Come to the next meeting with more suggestions!
ii. Symposium: Evening of Friday, November 5th at my house. If this conflicts with the majority of members, let me know and it can be rescheduled.
iii. Joe the Odyssey singer has contacted us and is willing to come perform on campus for free. This semester seems to be booking up fast between other events and exams, and we would love it for faculty and graduate students to be in attendance as well-- so we're thinking this to be a spring semester event.
iv. Saturnalia, our department-wide winter party shall be sometime in December. Specific date will be determined soon.
Our next meeting is next week (since this meeting was bumped from last week due to Obama) Tuesday, October 12th at 6:00 PM. Hope to see you there!
Semper ubi sub ubi,
Abby Nowakowski
Classics Society Vice-President
