The Alumni Weekend Success!

I could ramble about how amazing the University of the Ozarks Alumni weekend was, but we know that photos speak louder than a thousand rambles ;)

Hey-Oh!

We set up a meeting with Ashley in class today and we had a little camera fun :)

Ashley Senter's Visit to Class

On March 3rd, Ashley Senter visited our Event Planning class and spoke to us regarding our event, The Soccer Tailgate Picnic/Carnival. Below is a list of what we learned from this meeting.

• The event will begin at noon on Saturday, April 18th
• Need to create the postcards for judges to use to judge booths
• Need to help ensure that everyone is registered for the game and that they sign the waiver
• Need to work with Emma to get organizations involved
• Organizations can fundraise at this event
• Will need to help set up and such
• Come up with different, unusual, and fun ideas for the event 
Will be an inflatable there
• Try to get as many booths there as possible
• Advertise, advertise, advertise
