EGO Meeting, October 11, 2013
Notes by Stephanie Weaver
Things that we discussed briefly:
- Possibility of EGO matching RSA funds for the Rhetoric Reading Group
- Confirming our contribution to the GSU’s sponsored bowling night
- Possibility of bake sale along with annual book sale to raise some extra funds; asking EGO members to contribute baked goods
- Organizing an EGO outing to an open skate at a local ice rink and/or UofL club hockey team game
- Plans to begin planning for the Louisville Conference on Literature Grad Student Luncheon after the Halloween party; some focus on encouraging MA students to participate
More detailed plans for Halloween Party
- No decorations unless they are borrowed from EGO members; instead we will have candles and mood music/noises
- Food Concerns
- Things we know we have: meat burgers, buns, utensils, napkins, chips, mixed nuts, cups
- Things we weren’t sure we still have: condiments, plates, veggie burgers
- Things we will need to get: sodas, ice (Amy N. is going to do the shopping for these items and any others we might need)
- Costume Contest
- Costumed individuals will receive a number to pin on their person; costumed groups will have a group number (Stephanie will take care of numbers and pins)
- We will have a costume presentation at approximately 9:30; voting will open after that
- The ballot will ask voters to choose best individual and group costume along with a set of special categories (most literary, most half-assed, most disturbing, longest explanation necessary, etc. – Ashley has the full list and will make the ballots)
- We are asking for donations from Bearno’s (Amy L.) and Gray’s Bookstore (Amy N.) for prizes; we are also considering bringing unwanted items from home as prizes for the “special” categories, depending on what donations we get
- Party Reminders – we’re going to send out several reminders over the next couple of weeks about the party and food sign-up as well as more detailed info about the costume contest
