Week 1 Spring Semester

Hello again! I'm happy to be back with my weekly check-ins. It's been a busy time for me with the Valentine's Day party coming up in the next few weeks. The last two weeks, I have been planning the Love You to the Stars Valentine's Day Party, starting from 2/4/2015. The main and must crucial thing that I did was contact the Calico Room to reserve the place for that night. Having the owner's email address, I sent her an inquiry and she responded within two days, confirming that we could have the party there. I then began calling catering options, starting with Wake N Bake Donuts. They were able to offer a couple dozen variety donuts! I also called Kilwin's, Hot Pink Cake Stand, and Apple Annie's Bakery. I also came up with some games to play as well as our next raffle basket: The Perfect Date Night/Treat Yourself Basket. The basket will include gift certificates from Bluewater Waterfront Grill, Game Giant, Hanover Stables, Wellness Massage, Carmike Cinema Movie Passes, and theater candy/chocolates. I worked my department on Wednesday to come up with the name of the party: Love You to the Stars. 

Since Winter Break, James and I have been working with the Development Department to create the Galaxy Quest scavenger hunt. We worked by coming up with the locations that the quest will take place, keeping it towards the Fisher side of campus so participants don't have to walk too far. We then decided how many clues we wanted to have, and broke up the locations between the four of us to write clues for those locations. Starting around the 4th, I contacted Campus Reservations to get permission to put clues up in the buildings. They only can help you with inside of the Fishers so contact Tina Strickland for all other locations! She is really hard to get a quick answer from via email so go in person! It will save time. As the event began, we realized people wouldn't have as much time due to the buildings being closed on MLK Day. We will definitely keep this mind for the manuals so next year doesn't do this.
