AIGA JWU Events

Our next meeting on Monday November 9th will be a little different. We are going to be having a “Design-A-Thon!”

What the heck is a Design-A-Thon you ask? We will be having a meeting, but it will not be a sit down and listen to me yap meeting. We will be getting comfortable in the WTCC and having some free design time. Come in to work on your Obscure Holiday Poster, your Relay For Life designs, your Design 101 poster, or anything else design related you want to work on!

Bring friends! This event is aimed at members, but we welcome anyone who wants to participate.

Help us spread the word! The posters below advertise this meeting as well as our NYC bus trip. Print a few out, and give them to friends. You can also pick some up at the front desk in the WTCC.

 

Thanks goes out to Kyla Covert and Rob Erskine for the poster designs. You can download a high resolution printable PDF below.

OK, so with all that has been going on with the bus trip, what is actually going to happen? Well this is what this post is about.

The NYC bus trip for 2009:
December 11th
We will be leaving from Gaebe Commons around 7am
We will return some time later that night.
The cost will be between $10-$20 (We will know exactly as we get closer).

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, Sterling Brands is not able to give us a tour of their studios during the month of December. We are however pursuing a few other leads for the design studios that we will tour and we will announce where we will be going as soon as we have it confirmed.

So what now? Well, because of the limited seats on the bus, it will be first come first serve. So if you are interested in coming, make sure that you reserve your seat ASAP.

You can do so by either emailing us at aigajwu@gmail.com, or calling our Google Voice number and leaving a message! Our GV number is (762) 333-AIGA.

So make sure you are checking in for more details! We will need you to respond quickly to us if you are going because we will need a few things from you in order to get the trip to happen such as emergency contact information.

**NOTE: This post was edited. The trip date changed from November 6th to December 11th.**

Our next meeting will be Monday October 26th at 6:00pm in the usual meeting place, the WTCC.
