1. ASME Cookout - Wednesday, April 26
ASME will be having a cookout on Wednesday, April 26 from 11am to 1pm. We will be serving hot dogs, chips, and drinks for $.50 each so be sure to stop by for lunch! If you're interested in helping out, we need volunteers to help set-up, sell, and clean-up, so e-mail Mike Hong at mkhong1@uiuc.edu for more info. If it should rain/tornado, then the cookout will be moved to the courtyard of MEB.
2. Professor Auctions!
Location: ASME Cookout
Bidding from 11am-1:30pm
The general idea of this is that you can bid on a professor to "go out"
with...kind of like a date auction, but not really at all. The professor covers the bill. All proceeds from the auction (what you pay) will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Bids will be accepted throughout the ASME cookout and closed at 1:30pm. The following three professors/activities are up for bid:
Professor Newell - Bowling at the Illini Union followed by pizza at Papa Del's for up to four students
Professor Dantzig - Bowling for up to four students
Professor Glumac - Papa Del's pizza at 5 pm on a Tuesday, followed by a trip to Brothers, where he will buy the draft and soda fountain beverages until 8 pm for up to four students
Email Heather - hdvance@uiuc.edu - if you have any questions.
3. ASME General Meeting w/ Bosch
Date: Thursday, April 27th
Time: 5:30PM
Location: 103 Transportation Building
Come out to the last general meeting of the semester and find out more about
the Bosch. Also, since this is the last meeting of the semester, we will
be raffling off some great prizes for the participation initiative as well.
Items in the past that have been raffled off include: gift certificates to best buy, ipod mini, computer speaker system, digital camera, etc, so it will definitely be worth your time. And most importantly, come out to vote
and/or run for the ASME exec board next year.
