[ASA-Official] LEF/ARCADE, Fall 2008 GBM, Group Recognition Town Hall

[Shan Wu]

Dear Student Groups,

Several important events are coming up:

1) LEF/ARCADE DEADLINE (UPCOMING WORKSHOPS)
2) FALL GENERAL BODY MEETING
2) NEW GROUP RECOGNITION CRITERIA AT TOWN HALL MEETINGS

============================
1) LEF/ARCADE DEADLINE: Monday, Dec 1, 5pm

This next deadline is for events occurring between 1/1/09 and 3/31/09.  The
application and more information are available online:
http://web.mit.edu/asa/resources/large-events.html.

There will be two info sessions/workshops for information and tips on
applying to LEF/ARCADE:
Wed Nov 12, 4-5pm, 8-205
Tues Nov 18, 4-5pm, 8-205

Groups applying are encouraged to send a representative to one of these
sessions.  The information will be the same at both.

All groups are encouraged to meet with the SAO about your application before
the deadline.  Groups proposing events with outside speakers/performers are
REQUIRED to meet with the SAO.  To make these meetings more convenient, SAO
will hold weekly office hours Wed 12-2pm in the W20 Coffeehouse Lounge for
the remainder of the year.  Keep in mind that many groups wait until the
last minute, so waits are long the week before the deadline.  You can also
set up an appointment with SAO outside of these office hours.

=============================
2. FALL GENERAL BODY MEETING: Monday, Nov 17, 7pm, 34-101

Your group must send a representative.  Most groups send an officer, but
general members are fine too if no officers are available.  If no
representative is in attendance, your group will lose ASA privileges,
including funding eligibility and recognition.  Please mark your calendars.

=============================
3. NEW GROUP RECOGNITION CRITERIA AT TOWN HALL MEETINGS

The main topic for the fall General Body Meeting is a discussion of a new
set of criteria for student group recognition.  In order to save time during
the GBM, we will be holding two town hall meetings to present the proposed
changes in order to hear your comments and questions.  Thanks to those who
attended last week's discussion.

The last town hall on group recognition will be Tuesday, November 11, 7:15
pm in 1-150.  Pizza will be served.
