<div dir="ltr"><br>hmmmm. couple things occur to me as a read this. and yes i know the demo is over - i don't get to email every day...<br><br>1) this is a student demo. shouldn't students be at the table? <br><br>
2) if we don't have enuf students from CMU to do the demo, do we have
students from PITT who could come up and do it? pitch it as a joint
venture?<br><br>3) as someone who spent @20 years as a college student, i'm not sure that a bunch of middle age people would attract students. for example the response might be something like: "look at that club! they look like my mom & dad! i'm not interested in hanging out with old people!" perhaps we should try and people the table with folks who are at least CLOSE to college age?<br>
<br>4) have we attracted and kept anyone from these demos in recent years? not saying we shouldn't try mind you, just wondering on the stats...<br><br>5) if we don't make attracting students one of our priorities, then we need to attract other people from somewhere else, lest we die as an organization, no? <br>
<br>6) are we a die-ing organization? (and yes, i know we are a dye-ing organization ;)<br><br>this is just the thought processes that were spawned from reading about student demos....<br><br>rufina<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

detailed instructions on checking in. The CMU activities fair, though we<br>
recognize it's great importance, has not traditionally been something us<br>
working folk can attend. I'm cc'ing myself and Byron about this since he is<br>
off at 3pm today (we just found this out yesterday - he's working the early<br>
shift), but he's already at work with no garb etc. If you can contribute<br>
any time (such as walk over and pull up the local website or SCA website on<br>
your laptop assuming CMU campus has wireless), it would be wonderful. If<br>
there's a limited check-in that you miss and Byron can't do it, then that's<br>
okay.<br>
Thank you,<br>
Ariella<br>
