Our Burke Museum program

Our Access Student Group puts on a lot of programs.  It's all about event planning.  There's a lot I really about this.  I love the idea that our Access student group, an RSO (Registered Student Organization) at the University of Washington can put on programs at UW using UW facilities and UW personnel (if they will).  And it can be a quality program and we can do it.

I am always terrified that nobody will show up.  But they always do.  Here's a recent program we put on,  A preview of the new Burke Museum that will be opening in the fall.  We asked a speaker to come and she did a great job.  We had over 20 people attend.

But this week, we have a really good program, a big time program  A faculty panel on
Racism.  Featuring two excellent popular faculty speakers.  I've taken classes from both of them; it's going to be very interesting and compelling.

And, I as usual, though I'm doing everything I can think of, am worried that people won't come.  But I know they will.  We are very privileged to have these speakers.  Write me at sandy@dsbarnes.com if you are interested.

Inaugural Event

We're putting on our first event today.  The Access Student Resource Group.  This group has exploded since I first heard from the organizer this summer.  We're putting on an Inaugural event late this afternoon.  With a talk from the VP of Student Life and a faculty member from the History Department.  We have 85 people who say they are coming!  We went from zero to 230 people who are interested.  Our experience is that if people say they are coming, they show.  Crazy!  We are a new board and, if we can get through this, it will be an accomplishment.

We are having the event in a very nice room with refreshments.  Costs over $1000.  Treasury of $0.  We got funding from student affairs and everybody threw in the contents of their wallets at our last board meeting.  We haven't figured out membership.

The Chair teases me;  Sandy, we go way back, he says.  Since July.

Hope it all goes well.  Dennis did the program we will hand out and special man nametags.  I'm in charge of the checkin table.  I'll be going pretty soon.
