Activities Fair

When

Activities fairs occur in the fall and spring. In the fall, it's generally the first Wednesday after Labor Day. In the spring, it's sometime in early January. They tend to run 4:30-6:30pm, with setup at 3:30. Both are worth going to, but the fall one is vastly better attended.

Who

We generally need 2-3 people at the table at all times to answer questions and hand out flyers. In practice, this means about 5 people should make an appearance at various times. Having a few people at the very start is helpful for carrying stuff.

What to bring

• Flyers (see ["Club Propaganda"])
  • Fall: about 100, Spring: about 50

  • print these in advance -- days or hours before -- seriously

• Signup sheet (see ["Club Propaganda"])
• 11x17 logos, usually two to affix to the table and another to hang from the table (cardboard or manila file folders are useful here)
• A few machines (we usually bring the SGI Indy, a small VAX, and a Sun IPC) and some random manuals (VMS is always fun)
• Scotch tape
• Beefier (e.g., packing) tape to hang logo sign from table
