PAINTBALL UPDATE

So it looks like this will definitely be put on hold until Spring when it is nice out. This also gives us more time to plan the logistics.

PAINTBALL UPDATE

So there is definitely some interest building-wide for this. Its looking like there may be a sign-up sheet at the front desk.

However, since the tickets do not expire, this trip may not be happening until the spring so that we aren't all out in the middle of November freezing.

Will let you know for sure after I speak with my supervisor

PENNY WARZ

Thanks to those who brought change to the table where the pizzas are! I will take that to the desk to get counted.

Supposedly there is a floor that has over $70 raised as of now, just to give you an idea of what to aim for if you are all trying to win the Beat Michigan Week Party. If everyone on our floor donated about $1.30 we would reach $70....

FLOOR WARZ

Nov. 7th @ 11am in the RPAC this event will be taking place. The sport will be Dodgeball and we will be competing with all of the other floors for the title as the champions!

We need a floor color/name/and mascot if you want one. Will send you an email about this so that you will have more info!

MTAB FLOOR 7 REP NEEDED!

Want to have a say in what events go on in the building while building leadership experience?

Be the floor representative at the MTAB meetings Mondays at 7pm! MTAB needs at least 2 floor reps from each floor. Get involved!

If you have any questions email the president Daniella Atzinger (.1)

WEEKEND EVENT

Friday at 9pm go downstairs into the Browsing Rm to Carve/decorate pumpkins! Movie will be shown, apple cider and snacks provided, AND winning pumpkin designs win prizes!

HAUNT THE HALLS!

If you would like to give back to the Columbus community and gain some community service experience/hours help out with this event!

On Oct. 28th @6pm-9pm right in our lobby there will be stations set up for children whose neighborhoods are too dangerous to Trick-or-Treat in. There will be candy, face painting, tattoos, etc. Many opportunities to help out.

If you are interested, go to an MTAB meeting to express this interest or email Atzinger.1@osu.edu

INTERESTING STUFF ABOUT RECYCLING

So, at my Ambassador meeting I found out some facts about the benefits of recycling that I never knew before. Like everytime you recycle you save the university $40 because it costs more to take trash to the landfill than to the recycling place. That may not sound like a ton, but when it adds up that's a lot of people's tuition that could be paid for (more scholarships available).

Also, RPAC's utility costs are $4 million a year! OSU spends millions & millions on utilities, so think about that when you are leaving lights on and stuff. We as students end up having to help with costs like that by paying higher tuition : /

You all have been pretty good about recycling, proud of you all!

NEXT TIME

The Adriaticos went pretty quickly lol Glad you enjoyed it. I'm thinking Insomnia Cookies next time. What do yall think?

Have a great Homecoming Week!

Newsletter Week 3

WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

What type of things would YOU all like to see happen on the floor. What type of activities interest you all?

Hookah Bars? Paint Balling? Runs to Marketplace? Floor Trips? What type of things would you like to see us do as a floor for fun? Let me know so that I can do what I can to get funding (if it's needed) for it and organize this for you all.

Please feel free to run ideas by me (hart.310@osu.edu , memoboard, facebook, etc) I want to do fun things for the floor this year


PAINTBALL @ SPLATTER PARK

So on the Oval today I ran across a deal where for $5 (or less depending on who all would be interested) you could shoot paintball all day, and you get a meal.

If you are interested let me know this week so that I can get back to this guy. I will have to request $$$ for transportation (it's like 30 min away) by Nov. 10th. Let me know if this is something you are interested in, and ask your floormates if they are too!




GOOD SAMARITAN POLICY

Although you are not supposed to underage drink in the Res. Halls, if there is a case where someone is drunk to the point where you are worried about that person's help GET THEM HELP!

Call an ambulance, and/or contact ME, another RA, senior staff, whoever. We are concerned with SAFETY in these cases not with punishing you or that person.

This does not mean you won't have to talk with senior staff, but this does mean that you will not be arrested or cited in this case.



WIN $100 GIFT CARD FOR YOUR SUITE!!!

MTAB will be having a Suite Door Decorating Contest!

You have until 10/26 to get your door all decorated, the doors will be judged on 10/27.


CONDOM BINGO!!!

This Friday at 8pm there will be Condom Bingo. You use condoms as your Bingo Pieces and can win some nice prizes! Check it out! And you keep the condoms too



HELP MORRILL TO BREAK WORLD RECORD!

MTAB will be collecting cardboard boxes in an attempt to build the biggest cardboard house.

This will be built on Nov. 11th. Start collecting boxes if you want to help!



PENNY WARZ!!!

Don't forget to begin collecting $$$ for this cause! Not only will you be helping to build schools, but you will also be competing to win a PARTY for the floor!

I will be around this week to your suites to collect the $$$ you've raised to turn it in to the desk.



FLOOR ACTIVITY (Free Food)!!!

So apparently no one enjoys going to Viewpoint to get good food ::sigh::

So instead I'll bring the fun to you! Next week on Tuesday 10/20 @ 8pm I will be ordering pizza for the floor. I will have games available.

It will be set up right on our floor. Will post something to remind you when it is closer to the date!

Newsletter Week 2

FLOOR DINNER DATE

Soooo I plan to reserve the Viewpoint on Tuesday 10/13 @ 5:30 pm (it is open until 7pm for those trailing in after class)

As soon as this is confirmed tomorrow I will have a sign-up sheet on my door! The food is really great and this is a great time to get to know some of the other people on the floor


FRIDAY FLICK: ACCEPTED

This Friday night 10/9 in the Browsing Rm myself and 3 other RAs will be showing the film Accepted on the projector screen.

Free popcorn and drinks for attendees!

Raffles throughout the film for gift cards and the DVD will also be raffled off!

This is a comedy about a young man who didn't get into OSU.

Hope to see many of you there!


PENNY WARZ

Want to win a PAID FOR PARTY during Beat M!CH!G@N Week?!

There is a competion between the floors to raise money for Pennies for Peace (the same cause in the book Three Cups of Tea to build schools)

Our goal is to raise at least $100 on the floor, but yall should want to WIN this! lol

We have until 11/13 to raise $$$. My suggestion is to designate a "captain" for each suite to collect the $ from suitemates, and then that captain will bring that money to me to give to the front desk.

Although its a penny war, dollars, dimes, quarters, etc are also accepted!

Send me the names of your suite captain via email if you are interested in demolishing the other floors in this competition.



RECYCLING BINS

PLEASE make sure to pick up these bins at the front desk ASAP. Each room must have one, and the desk will begin calling your phones if you don't pick them up!
