Well hello loves of our lives,
So we are writing to keep you posted on our FOC-ing shenanigans.
It has been a pleasure so far to get to meet so many of you and see first-hand how excited you are about Orientation! We have had some pretty exciting interviews, which include (but are not limited to): southern accents, fake moustaches, suits, cookies (mmm so good), mashed potato snowmen, teddy bears, pyjamas, full EDCOM gear, some seriously hair-sprayed hair and, since we are engineers, graphs showing ‘love for EngFOC over time’ (for the record it was exponential and so love-filled that it disappeared off the paper almost immediately).
But regardless, you are all equally passionate and we can’t wait to start planning the week with you! The first event is our Orientation Leader Retreat. This will take place on Sunday, February 28th from 9 am until 2 pm. This will definitely be a good time and so make sure to book it off now! You will get to learn more about us and how super-freaky we can be. We will discuss the restructuring of FOC for 2010 and the epic battles we’ve had to endure thus far. You will all learn about your responsibilities as Video Gurus, Bigs, Huges or EDCOM and how each of you will impact your fellow leaders. We will feed you (’cause we get cranky when we’re hungry) and then do some mingling! Oh and if you stick around you may get to find out what the theme is and you’ll have a shot at making EDCOM laugh (let’s see who will need the most practice between now and September).
If you would like to apply to be a Big or a Director then please do so ASAP at www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~foc. We have some super sweet new Director positions which will allow you to work with us and the FOC team closer than ever before (good deal if you’re thinking FOC next year!). You can help out with Move-In, JumpStart Friday or Ask-Me and Shuttle! Check out the descriptions online or send us an email if you have more questions: engfoc10@gmail.com.
If any of you think of some crazy ideas that you want to see happen, please send us an email and we’ll try our best to make it happen. We’ve already had an awesome suggestion for the Guinness World Book of Records!!
Orientation week is in 212 DAYS!!!!!! Get excited people!!!
Love always,
Cass, Niz, SeanO and Stu
Engineering FOC 2010
