Alumni/ Student Holiday Social Activity (Toys for Tots Toy Drive at TBD Atlanta Bar) Concept: –Combination Holiday Party/Social Cause/Networking Event –Invite ATL Alumni and all MBA students Question: Opinions on inviting evening MBA students? … I was thinking yes. –Have the bar donate a single drink (beer, wine) to each person who brings a toy

Issue: Finding a Date Do we think people would still be in town on Dec 10 th (Thurs of Finals wk)? Would students go? Alternate suggestion? … I am told weekends are usually not good for Alums. Section Feud Alumni Event This Date?!?

Recap of the Week An attribute which makes leaders successful is the ability to improvise. You should be commended on that!

Spring Budget Fundraiser

Fundraising Club Competition

Why Have a Competition? Club leaders unhappy with current budget allocation GBA budget based on number of students and therefore unlikely to sufficiently increase So, why not create a contest to encourage GBS Club Leaders to fundraise for their clubs and increase their budgets?

Competition Details Clubs will all start at $0 in terms of fundraising efforts counting towards the competition (i.e. previous fundraising or corporate sponsorship money will not count for this contest) Clubs will be given until 12 PM on the last day of classes (Section Feud Day) to fundraise for their club and submit their results Fundraising efforts can be in any form (corporate sponsorship, community fundraising, club dues, etc.) The total amounts will be compared and the winning club announced at Section Feud

Prize Money Prize money will be awarded to the top 2 fundraising clubs and will be added to the club’s budget allocation for spring semester Prize money: –1 st Prize = $150 - $250 –2 nd Prize = $50 - $150 (Jeff and Reed will determine actual amount)

GBA Bowling Fundraiser

How this works? Opportunity to bring the entire GBS community, friends, etc. together for a night of bowling –Fun, Fun, Fun!!! –Proceeds will go toward the Spring budget (i.e. Kegs)

Questions… What do we need to consider? Which approach do we want to pursue?
