EWMBA eZine - Week of September 18, 2008

The Social Committee
Welcome to the new Haas family additions and howdy to everyone. The year has already started and we have not done a whole lot of fun yet. Well! Let’s change that!
We closed down on a neat little welcome to the oldies on Saturday, September 13th, where we had a decent mix of 2nd and 3rd year folks socializing. To benefit the first year newbies, we have one about to hole up at Bears Lair this coming Saturday, September 20th. If you are going to be in Berkeley, I am hearing it’s going to be a tear. And a couple of our first year socialites are going to pull it off too - hear hear for Carmen and Shourya.
Beyond the welcome socials, we have a tentative list. And yes, we are definitely doing a 'Guys Nite Out'..tsk tsk. Who am I kidding?
Here is what we anticipate doing:
- Two evening socials. Yes! we do get hate mail from the weekday guys
- One tailgate in plan, we will announce that ahead of time
- Two tandem weekend socials - oldies and newbies
- Peer hiring social event (this might be by invitation, but still pending)
- Year end party
And we would love to hear from you, so do let us know if you want help in pulling off something together that drives the Haas network. Alright! O&O from our side. Go Haas! Go Bears!
Always Partying!!

DID YOU KNOW?
As a student, you qualify for very attractive student discounts on computer hardware and software. For example, you can get a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 for just $209. Very nice for us marketing types (or wannabes) who need to do rapid prototyping for collateral purposes or to communicate with those pesky engineers!
Check out the Scholar’s Workstation. It is an on-campus store and you can also order online at: http://www.tsw.berkeley.edu/
