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.

Up Till Dawn details can be found at www.stjude.org/utd/

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.
