AIGA: 2010 - Spring Meeting Details

Hey Everybody,

If you don't know, it's Tim from AIGA, and this blog is our primary way of reaching members, advisers, and anyone else interested in our Student Group here on campus.

It's time to start meeting again!
(Or, for the first time, if you would like to join!)

This semester, AIGA is going to be a little bit different.

• First of all, our President and fearless leader Katelyn Hampton will be stepping down. We thank her for all her help and a great job.
  
  - So we will be needing to elect a new President. Since I'm reorganizing things, I'd like to run for the position. It will certainly be put to a vote at our first meeting.



• Secondly, as things stand now, I'd like to get communication more open through this blog, email and facebook. In other words, we don't have to just talk about things at meetings. Let's discuss plans and ideas whenever we want to online, and then put our ideas into action at our official meetings.

Aside from our change in offices, what would you like to see this semester?

• I'm going to suggest meetings every other week, (exact days and times to be decided by vote) + official and unofficial get-togethers at least once a month, and at least one good, solid, trip. All that means fund-raising, so we need to discuss that too!

It seems that the way to keep us rolling and having fun is just by simply hanging out! We can discuss that more at our first meeting, and we do have our event planners, Jeff and Dustin, to organize any events and/or trips we might plan, assuming they can remain in that office this semester.

So how about we have our FIRST MEETING on Tuesday, February 9th at 7pm?

How does that sound for everybody? Please respond to this email, or comment on the blog site if you have a conflict -- or if you want to start making suggestions for our group. (A good plan would be to bring those for our first meeting)

I will work on getting us a room for it.

Thanks,
We'll see you soon.

November 17th Meeting, decals, events...

Thanks to everyone who came to Up Til' Dawn!

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, Nov. 17th -- next week.

Bring Ideas for stuff to do. We're over due for some hanging out. If anybody has an idea, send an email around.

---------------------------------------------

Decal Ideas? I would also like to say that if anybody has an idea but no design, Id be happy to crank out a few designs so we can get the ball rolling on those - and maybe get a weeding party in the works.

-Tim

-------------------------

So, meeting on the 17th - decal Ideas or designs sent to Tim - timomeara@hotmail.com

Anything else? -- See you next tuesday.

Rain, Rain Go Away...

(Semi-interesting design fact - The morton salt girl has been morton's identity since 1914 )

So in case anyone didn't hear, the hike has been cancelled due to the fact that hiking in the mud would be just, well, terrible.

Checks were to be cashed on the wednesday the 14th, so if 50 bucks magically dissapears from your account, that's why.

We're still in brainstorming mode on the decals and t-shirts.

We're doing a sort of workshop day at the next meeting 10/27 which will be up in tehama 226. That would be a great time to get back with your window groups, and maybe we can work on some decal designs too.

A reminder - the decals don't have to be about AIGA. Since the idea will be to sell them and raise money, just come up with something that will sell!

Lets get some decals designed so we have a good excuse to hang out and weed decals!

Possible things in the works for the future: Our event coordinators (Jeff and Dustin) are working on scheduling a studio tour down in Sacramento - they will be keeping us posted. Dustin is also talking about us doing a fund raiser over at Pizza Factory.

If you missed out on the last meeting or just have something to interject, email around! Another reminder - if you need something posted on the blog - send an email to timomeara@hotmail.com
See you on the 27th in the lab!

Flickr, Vimeo (thanks frank) and more.

Here at AIGA, we're starting a collection of trendy online accounts.

So check out our Flickr and Vimeo pages.

Theres a really cool Paul Rand video on the Vimeo, and some old pics on the Flickr, for the time being. Lets try and get some new photos at the meeting and DEFINETLY on the hike. Maybe some video too....

Don't forget, we've got stickers and T-shirts to make! (we need to schedule a "weeding party" -lol- for the vinyl, so think of good dates in the near future for that)

Details for the next meeting and the hike will be up ASAP.

Quick Details from the last meeting:

Our next meeting is
Tuesday September 29th @ 7pm, somewhere on campus - TBA.

Whats going on in the meantime? We've got windows to design. Last week we formed teams to design false windows for one of the labs in tehema. If you missed out on last week's meeting and you still want to help out, send an email around and join a team...or something.

Also, start brainstorming about decal and t-shirt ideas - and how we can use them for fundraising.

Up Till Dawn - AIGA Team

At Tuesday's meeting, Katrina Nelson suggested that AIGA participate in Up Til Dawn.

We are beginning to organize an AIGA team and we want to get as many people involved as possible!

Chico State has been the top fundraising campus in the country 2 years running and we're hoping this year will be number 3!
We accomplished our goal of $200,000 last year and now we're shooting for $1,000,000 and we can only do it with your help. It's a night full of fun games, activities, and prizes (I heard last year a car was given away) and we hope you'll join us.

For those of you who don't know what Up Till Dawn is, it is a fundraising campaign to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of the world's premier pediatric cancer research centers whose mission is to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. St. Jude's is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay. This fundraiser is to help keep it that way.

Where: Acker Gym
Date: November 9
Time: 4 pm – 12 midnight
Bring: 50 addresses of friends and family

If you would like to join the team, contact Jeff Duncan at jduncan315@gmail.com, or Dustin Moon at Dustin.moon85@yahoo.com, on facebook, or at AIGA meetings before November 4, with your name, email and phone number.

Meeting Details from Tuesday at Pizza Factory will be up soon! We've got windows, decals and t-shirts to create. Its a good thing we're designers...

Don't touch that dial!

First Meeting Details + Pizza Factory 9/15

The first meeting went great! For those of you who couldn't make it - it took place at the Lounge in the BMU last thursday. Thanks for a great turn out.

We broke the ice, discussed future meetings and talked about possible officers. A final list of those officers should appear in the next posting. Frank suggested that we list officers and their contacts on the main page of the blog - that will follow as well.

We talked about possible trips for this semester; including San Francisco design firms/events and some ideas for local outings. Plans for future meetings and get togethers were also discussed -any ideas can be brought up at the next meeting or emailed around.

It was eventually decided that our next meeting (more like a social mixer) will be held at Pizza Factory on Nord, across from safeway - on Tuesday, September 15th at 8:00pm. Please bring $5.00 to cover pizza and a check for $50.00 made out to AIGA for membership.

Ryan gave us an idea for a "design-off" based on two words chosen randomely. This week's words are: Hair Alliance. LOL! Bring your design to Pizza Factory on Tuesday.

That about sums up the first meeting. Any ideas for the blog can be sent to timomeara@hotmail.com - or, you can comment on a post. Just select NAME/URL to comment if you don't have a google account.

The Bottom Line:

• Next meeting: Tuesday, 9/15 @ Pizza Factory on Nord.
  


• Bring your "Hair Alliance" Design
  
  
• Bring $5.00 for Pizza and a $50.00 check for AIGA membership
  

See you Tuesday.
