The Graphic Arts Association will be going on a trip to Washington D.C. from April 4-8 (Mid-Semester Break).
We will be needing a $20 down payment by Tuesday, February 21 to confirm you will going on the trip. You must pay the down payment if you want to go on the trip. This will make it easier for us to get a final price for the trip. There will be no refunds.
**This post will be updated periodically when we gather more information for the trip**
And the winner of the fundraiser is…
Nanette Binagatan!
Thanks to everyone that entered. The Graphic Arts Association raised $11. If you want to see the action take place, then show up to Oakwood A105 (19700 14 Mile Rd) Friday, December 9 at 7PM. I will update the post with pictures come Friday.
From now until Tuesday, December 6 at 11AM, the Graphic Arts Association is holding a fundraiser where YOU have the ability to cut and shape the President’s (Kyle Busse) and Advisor’s (John Conati) hair any way you want.
It will cost $1 for a raffle ticket for the President and $5 for a raffle ticket for the Advisor. If you want a ticket, please see anyone currently on the E-Board to purchase one. On Tuesday, December 6 at 11AM during the last general meeting of the semester, we will be picking the winner of the raffle.
Any questions? Email me.
Last night at the annual Fall Banquet, the new E-Board was announced for the year of 2012. The new E-Board is:
President – Sarah Spradlin
Vice President – Kaitlynn Rossman
Commissioner-At-Large – Matt VandenHeuvel
Secretary – Jacob Hamlin
Treasurer – John Bohnett
The banquet will be held on November 28 from 6:30m – 9:00pm in the Founders Room, which is Rankin 238. All nominees and paying members must attend the banquet. Dinner (beef, chicken, and vegetarian option) will be provided for free (per your dues) if you are a paying member. Conati will announce the E-Board for the 2012 year. There will also be a guest speaker following the dinner.
I will pass around a sign up sheet on November 15 during the meeting. Also, you may bring a guest if you wish. If you do bring a guest, they will be required to pay for the dinner. I will let you know how much they have to pay on November 15.
If you have any questions or comments, please email me.
The trip to Quad Midland is taking place on November 2 from 8:15am – 3pm. Please bring a couple of dollars for the drivers. We will be getting lunch in Midland.
Dress business casual. You are representing the printing program and GAA, so please look sharp.
If you are on the list, there is an excusal form located on the light table to the right of the GAA office.
Election Day will be November 1 during the general meeting, which takes place at 11AM in SWAN 218. You must be there if you are a paying member and want to vote. Each of the nominees will give a 1-3 minute speech, followed by a question and answer session. We will then vote, and the votes will then be handed over to Conati. He will announce the new E-Board at the banquet.
There is also a change in the electing procedure. The nominees will be allowed to run for multiple positions. When the votes are handed over to Conati, he will start off at President and make his way down. From there, if someone is elected for a higher position, then their name will be crossed out for the other positions. This change was done to give members a chance to get on the E-Board to show their leadership skills instead of tying them down to one position.
The nominees are as followed after the break…
