so the activities midway is coming up rather soon; it is on tuesday aug 31,
from 6-9pm in johnson athletic center.  we are allowed to come in as early 
as 5.  

now what does this mean, you might ask?  it means that we need brothers to
work the apo booth.  we need *lots* of brothers to work the booth.  we 
have been allocated two tables, so we have a good deal of space to fill up.
naturally, the best way to fill this up is with brothers, since this 
organization wouldn't be anything without the brothers.  so please, if
you can possibly work the booth, please stop by!  email me if you know for
certain that you can work (so i don't panic :), or just stop by.

also, we need people to actually *set up* the booth.  since we can't
get into johnson until 5pm, i'd like to see people meeting in the office
at 4:30 to cart everything down to johnson.  beyond that, if a few brothers
could get to the office before that to help prepare some of the supplies,
'twould be much appreciated.  please email me if you can be one of these
people.

another manpower note:  if there is anyone who would be willing to be
responsible for taking down the booth, please contact me.  i ought to be
elsewhere before 9pm (whee tours :)...and i'd really rather not have to
punt this committment if there's someone else who can deal with bringing
everything else back to the office.

i'm also looking for ideas for the booth:  what would attract you to
alpha phi omega?  what characterizes us (that we'd be able to illustrate
without getting kicked out of the midway :)?  as i said before, we have
two tables to fill up, for a front surface area of ~120 ft^2 and a volume 
of about 720 ft^3.  just think of everything we can fit in there... :)

and the last thing:  freshmen like food.  freshmen like free food.  thus,
we shall have free food.  we will be having home-cooked food -- cookies,
bars, and the like -- to distribute to the frosh...after all, we do do a
fair amount of cooking for a student group. :)  i need people to help
me cook all of this; if you have time to make a batch or two of cookies
or bars (or anything else that can be made bite-sized...within reason... :),
*please* do!  and tell me that you have, if possible, so i won't have to 
be slaving over a stove every minute i'm not leading frosh around unusual
and not-quite-licit regions of the institute. :)  if you don't have time
to cook, but you have baking pans or cookie sheets that you'd be able to
loan out, please contact me asap, and i will arrange to get these supplies
to brothers that can use them. :)

to recap:
   what:  activities midway
   when:  tuesday, august 31, 6pm (meet in the office at 4:30)
          (or show up any time after that until 9pm)
   where: johnson athletic center
   who:   you!
   why:   so we can tell all the frosh how cool alpha phi omega is.
   how:   with pictures and descriptions and sledgehammers and *food*

i hope to see most of you, if not all there!
