Sima said that she will send an email to the students who signed up for the hike. The email will include detail about from where and when we will start, when we will come back, and what to bring with for the hike.
- We talked about the dance party as our next event. The tentative date for it was July 29. There may be a dance lesson session for the participants which will be instructed by a professional instructor. Sima informed us she already contacted a salsa instructor. We decided to reserve the ballroom for this dance party. If the ballroom is unavailable then we can go for the Thea Lounge. We may ask the students to volunteer as bartenders. Total cost for this event is assumed $500 ($300 for the room, $200 for the instructor and snacks).
- About networking night, Adam informed us, the current deadline for the sponsors is mid-September. So, we should initiate sending emails to the companies now. Sima asked whether it is okay to start emailing in early September. Adam said, it’s okay if she has personal connection with those companies, otherwise it’s better to start early.
- We discussed about the other events in this summer. The tentative date of Summer BBQ was decided on 2nd or 3rd August, and date of the second hike on late August. For BBQ, we planned to keep a budget of $300. $500 preapproval will be needed, then we will earn a revenue of $200 approximately.
