Hey there everybody! It’s been a good two weeks for the finances, and I’ve got a few things to update.
Sponsorship proposals took place this past Sunday. A total of 11 student teams and groups submitted proposals, to be allocated $5,000 of the EngSoc Budget this term. After the presentations, the Sponsorship Committee (which is made up of 6 at large student members, chaired by myself) deliberated to come up with an allocation. This will be brought forward to EngSoc council at Meeting 5. Check the next issue of IW for the official allocations.
ECIF Applications are still open, but they won’t stay that way forever! This term we have just under $2,000 to allocate towards EngSoc making capital purchases to help improve the facilities of the society, of our affiliates, and of engineering in general at Waterloo. Past allocations have gone towards purchasing new lighting equipment, a new drum kit for Jazz Band, and some of the new LCD Screens that you will see popping up around the halls soon (there’s already one over the C&D). If you have any ideas for things that EngSoc can purchase to improve the facilities that you use, please submit a proposal! The form is available on our website at engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/services/ecif-application. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.
Coverall Day was held this past past Thursday, and it was a great success! We sold a total of 20 pairs (even one to a professor), which for a spring term is pretty awesome. Thank you to everyone who came out and bought a pair, and those who showed your spirit by wearing your covies. The order went in, and the coveralls should be here within the next few weeks! Everyone who ordered them will receive an email once they have been delivered.
The T-Shirt Fire Sale Bonanza went quite well too, and there will be a lot more people wearing some very nice inexpensive t-shirts around campus. I still have quite a lot of t-shirts and frames left over to sell, so keep an eye out for EVEN CHEAPER PRICES over the next few weeks and an even more awesome sale!
Note to all the directors: if you have outstanding receipts to be reimbursed for purchases you have made for your directorships, be sure to submit them as soon as you can! Just fill out an expense statement in the EngSoc Office and leave that, stapled with your receipts, in my mailbox.
That’s about it for now, as always let me know if you have any questions or concerns about EngSoc money. Get your ECIF Proposals in! VP-Fin, out.
