Carnegie Classic:

   1.

   Compete: Whether you’re brand new joining us from rush, or an
   experienced dancer who’s been with us for years, we want YOU to sign-up for
   Carnegie Classic! Even if you don’t have a partner, we’ll have a robust TBA
   system to match you with someone to dance with. Never competed before? Then
   this is the BEST time to start. Sign-up for the newcomer level, compete
   right here in your home ballroom, and enjoy a first-timer discount just for
   CMU ballroom members! To register, log-in or create an o2cm account and fill
   out the forms to sign-up here. <https://register.o2cm.com/?event=cmu>
   2.

   Volunteer: We need lots of volunteers! Please try to sign-up for at
   least one thing. Jobs vary in time commitment and effort, so you should be
   able to pick something that works with your schedule. Fill out the form
   to volunteer here
   <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuTpsnvL8sOU_4Y7zthM0iBfy1xU8B8t0doI3wBcsAcgTQXQ/viewform>
   .
   3.

   Host: In order to make CC accessible for more people, we want to offer
   housing options. If you have a floor or a couch you’d be willing to let
   folks sleep on for the weekend, it could make a big difference for someone
   traveling from out of state. If you’re interested, please fill out this
   form by February 5th
   <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSf8AHKOB72Zhtzae3m0QJfCYyd7Lysw5vMEMjit1-x5cs1A/viewform>
