Hey everyone,
So Wednesday was our last metting for the term and we covered a lot in the meeting.
Shirts: They will say: est quod illa dixit (that's what she said) and the shirt will be blue this year. There is a sign up sheet on the table in the common room, it'll probably be put up on the board on Monday though, so if you are interested please fill in the required info. Or if you can't make it to the common room to sign up for a shirt then you can email us @ uwclassics@gmail.com telling us your name, quantity, and size. Once we have a general idea of how many people are ordering shirts, we can then order them. We contacted Star Sportswear and they seem to be a little cheaper, so we'll probably go with them and that'll also make the price of the shirts cheaper for everyone to buy!
Winnipeg Harvest: A reminder that the cut-off to bring in any non-perishable items is November 30th, after that we're going to drop off all the goods to Winnipeg Harvest.
Christmas Cheerboard: We are registered for a family of 4-5 people, we'll have conformation of who the exact family is by the end of next week. The list of goods was already distributed, but there are also other items that were suggested items if you are interested in donating to the family. Items such as: milk, potatoes, oranges, apples, eggs, frozen vegetables, cheese, cereal, coffee, nuts, and chocolate/candy.
Or you can give us money towards the cost of the turkey and gifts. My work currently has a major blowout sale, so we can get the gifts there for a bargain :)
Bursuary/Scholarship: We are looking into doing this privately this year since we have not received any info from the department that deals with making new scholarships. The bursuary/scholarship would cover the cost of tuition only for a 3 credit hour course and we also have yet to determin the exact requirements for that qualifying student. Also, we need to make a form.
Bake Sale: It's official, Monday's are not a good sale day! We made a grand total of $80.72 for our last bake sale. From now on we will be having our Bake/Pizza sales on Wednesdays from 11am-2pm. The meetings will still run from 12:30-1:20 on Wednesdays, but we'll just ensure that there are 2 people manning the table during that meeting and that they are in the know of what is going on.
Our first sale of the new term will be January 9th and it'll be a pizza sale, just so everyone knows!
Social Stuff: There will be a sign up sheet in the Common Room for jobs at the social. Same deal as last year, if you volunteer for at least one shift during the night, you won't have to pay to go to the social.
Moe will go around to a few places in the city during December and will have his photo taken. Then in January there will be 4 weeks of Moe, where one photo from campus and one photo from around the city will be posted online (and possibly in The Uniter) and then people will message us their answers and if they are correct they receive a social ticket. However, it is one social ticket a week. This seems a better way of promoting the social and hopefully to get more people to come. Why would someone want to win a social ticket and show up by themselves to a toga party, won't they want to bring their friends (who will have to pay)?
So yes, four social tickets will be given out since it's better than silent auction tickets where they might possibly win something, but a social ticket is a sure thing.
Also, we have the donation letters on the google groups (there is also a spread sheet on there that can be filled out) which you can print off and hand out while you are Christmas/Chanukah/general holiday shopping. If you are not part of the google groups and wish to hand out donation letters, email us and we can forward you a copy!
Cheers,
Your Consuls

Oct. 31st Minutes and Updates
Hi All,
This week's meeting was very informal and brief, so there is not much to be said. We did cancel the Winnipeg Harvest Trick-or-Treat because there was not enough people involved to do it. ...
However, good news! Instead we will be doing a Winnipeg Harvest Drive for the month of November. We will be setting up one of the big blue containers (there will be a little sign on it saying "Donations for Winnipeg Harvest") in the Common Room (4G07). So bring in canned goods and anything non-perishable and at the end of the month hopefully we can bring Winnipeg Harvest a decent amount of food.
You Consuls have decided on a name for the Social: "Groundhog Day Party" with the subtitle of "Dress up in your togas, the party will never end!" Sound good? We're not that creative.
Also, with our night at Rumor's we made close to $200 for the club's fund!
Reminder: We are having a pizza sale this Monday, November 5th, on the 2nd floor of Centennial from 11am-2pm. We are having a super, awesome deal of 2 slices of pizza and 1 chocolate bar for the low price of $5! So come buy pizza on Monday!
Cheers and have a great weekend!

October 17th Minutes
Hello All,
Once again it was a very brief meeting since we had no update for the Social. However, Social stuff will become important in the next few weeks since we now have a quote on costs, so we'll keep you posted.
In other news: Dr. Maher will be doing a presentation on Wednesday October 24th at the Millennium Library in the Carol Shields Audiotorium (Second Floor) from 12:10-12:50pm. The lecture is titled: "Scratching the Surface: An Archaeological Survey of Ancient Sikyon." The Wednesday meeting will be cancelled so we can attend this special lecture.
Reminder: We are having a pizza sale on Monday October 22nd on the second floor of Centennial from 11am-2pm.

Minutes from Wednesday's meeting
Hey Everyone,
This week was a short meeting and so there is not much to be posted news wise.
Social news: We're waiting to hear from Fraser on quotes for costs, so until then we can't do much in regard to planning the social.
Radiothon: No one showed interest in the meeting and no one contacted us about it, so we will not be participating in the radiothon. It's that time of term anyways and everyone's busy, so it's understandable.
Rumor's Night: We are only selling tickets until Friday October 19th because the money is due on the 20th. So, please, if you would like to buy tickets contact Remi or myself via uwclassics@gmail.com, we're both on campus quite a bit and we have the tickets. They're $15.00 and we get half the proceeds and it'll be a fun night!
Shirt: We have decided that we will be putting "That's what she said" (in Latin) on a blue shirt. This idea has been popular for the past couple of years and will now finally be used!
Reminder: Tomorrow there is a special lecture in Eckhardt-Gramatte Hall from 1:30-2:30 pm. Dr. Kelly Olson will be presenting "Celluloid Cleopatras from 1899-2005," so don't miss out on this great opportunity to see a cool presentation on how Cleopatra has been portrayed in film (I unfortunately have to work).
Another cool event this week: Saturday, October 20th is National Archaeology Day! They will be having an Open Lab Day in 4C39 from 11am-4pm. It's a free event and open to everyone and you get to look at artifacts and "experience what it is like to excavate an archaeological site and to process and analyze artifacts (including ancient bones and tools). Materials from different excavations and displays of archaeology in action will be on exhibit for the public to view. A chance to indulge your inner Indiana Jones!"
Cheers,
Your Consuls

Bake Sale and Other News!
Hey Everyone!
Quick news before everyone can enjoy their probably well deserved long weekend!
The Bake Sale was a huge a success and we made a profit of $245! Thank you to everyone who brought in bake goods and also a huge thanks to those who bought and donated. We had some really, really generous people which is great. All the money we raise with these pizza and bake sales help us fund our social which then means we can raise money for the Children's Hospital.
Other news:
Radiothon: The CKUW radio marathon is coming up, the form is due on October 10th. So, please, if you are interested please email us @ uwclassics@gmail.com so we can start planning what we want to do exactly for our time slot and hand in that form.
Mini-Colloquium: The room is booked for November 16th and will be in room 1L07 from 4:00-5:00pm and we will be heading to Garbonzo's (most likely) afterwards for a pub night. We will be posting posters and advertising shortly. We will also be going to classes again to encourage people to come and watch the presentations.
Rumour's: We have tickets for Saturday October 27th for the 10:30 show. The comedian is Rory Scovel and it should be fun! Please see Remi or myself to purchase tickets which are $15.
As a final note, the UWCSA's first Pub Trivia was a success! Congrats to the winning team: Purple Cobras (Rob and Liam). Thanks to those who came out and we hope you all had fun
Cheers and have a great long weekend,

Cancelled Meeting
Hey Everyone!
Tomorrow's meeting (Oct. 3rd) is cancelled because we are having our first Bake Sale of the year. It will be on the 3rd floor of Centennial. If you have any bake goods to sell, bring them to the Common Room before 11am tomorrow or drop it off at the Bake Sale table. We'll probably run the table from 11am-2pm.
Or if you don't have any bake goods to sell, buy some bake goods! The money that we make from our bake and pizza sales goes into funding for the Social and that means it will help us raise money for the Children's Hospital!
Cheers!
