Hello everyone!
My name is David Birnbaum, and in case you didn’t read above, I am the Vice President of Finance for the Engineering Society. There will be a lot going on this term, so I hope you are all as excited as I am for it.
Documents: For those of you who don’t know, our Society is in the process of improving our governing documents. I will be hosting a forum on Thursday September 27th to discuss all of the changes that have been made to the documents throughout this process. I hope that you all come out to this meeting, as we really want to get as much student feedback as possible. If you have any questions about that, please email me at vpfinance.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
Budget: First and foremost is the budget. Budget proposals were due on Friday September 21 st, and I will be bringing my proposed budget to council on Wednesday October 3rd. Please review the budget and come to the Engineering Society meeting if you have any concerns or would like to discuss it more.
Coveralls: Also on Wednesday October 3rd is COVERALL DAY!!!!! I know that everyone reading this article is super excited about coveralls, and you should be. This coverall day we are offering an amazing deal of $75 for a pair of coveralls AND SEVEN PATCHES!!!! That is a savings of $20! Be sure to come to CPH Foyer between 11:30 and 1:30 on that Wednesday for the great deal. Also, everyone should be wearing their covies that day as we will be giving away cookies to everyone in coveralls and will be having patch draws!
Patches: On the patch front, please remember that this term we are starting a directorship appreciation patch program, and every director this term will be getting patches! If you are interested in ordering patches of your previous directorship, you can email me and we will be able to get everything figured out for that.
Engineering Capital Improvements Fund: ECIF is now accepting proposals for what our over $8000 this term should go to. We are looking for any ideas that you think will improve engineering student life at the University of Waterloo. If you have any ideas please fill out the form, or send me an email! Also, I will be doing class visits later in the term to gather feedback from you all on what you would like to see.
Sponsorship: The sponsorship committee is up, and soon to be running. Congratulations to the six members that got elected to the committee at the first engineering society meeting. We will be sending out a call for sponsorship requests soon, and will be proposing our allocations at the fourth Engineering Society Meeting.
I hope that wasn’t too long for all of you, and that you all come and check out all the great new novelties items.
As always, if you have any questions or comments just send me a quick email; vpfinance.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca!
