Luau

Wassa had it's first event  on Sunday.  It was suppose to be a luau, but it of course had to rain on Sunday, so we had to take it all inside.  This meant that all the decorations we planned on putting up had to get the ax and we had an hour to turn a classroom into a Hawaiian setting.  Thanks to the other (and more creative) members of WASSA it ended up looking pretty good.  It had a really fun atmosphere.  

The cafeteria even helped us with the event and coordinated Hawaiian food and decorations in the caf.  It was pretty cool and nice of them.  And of course their decorations where much nicer than our posters and lights hanging on the wall, but it was fine.  The caf did look really good and they passed out Hawaiian leis, which really gave the Hawaiian mood.  They also had really good food, which I thoroughly and gluttonously enjoyed.

The event itself was pretty good itself.  Considering the fact that no one knew where it was being held at (because of the inside change) the turnout was pretty good.  The time frame we had set up was a little to long though, so by the end it was pretty dead, but in the middle we did have quite a few people who came to check it out.

In order to let people know about the event since it was moved we went dorm storming.  What this means is that we went around to all the dorm rooms, knocked on them and told everyone what was going on.  It was a very sophisticated process.  It was really beneficial though, because it enabled us to promote our next event, which will be flag football.  

For our first event, it went well.  We learned what works and what doesn't.  And now everyone is ready for our next event and it will be even better.  Flag football here we come.
