Hey there A-Soc! Wow, it’s hard to believe that this term is already starting to come to an end. As things wind down and final exams start to look like more of a reality, there’s a few things to wrap up in terms of finances. First off, the ECIF committee met this past Wednesday to decide on how to allocate a total of $5500 ($1900 from the current EngSoc budget, $2100 to be reallocated from Winter 2013, and $1500 to be reallocated from Fall 2012) towards capital purchases within Engineering. The proposals included a basketball net for CPH Courtyard, reupholstering some of the POETS couches, among other things. The allocations will be presented and voted on at EngSoc Meeting 6 on the July 24, and will be available on the EngSoc website after this for anyone who is interested. If you have any ideas for something that ECIF can purchase in the future, the form is always open at engsoc.uwaterloo.ca/services/ecif-application.
On the topic of allocations, Sponsorship allocations for the term were ratified at EngSoc Meeting 5, and can be seen on this page. A total of 11 teams and groups on campus submitted proposals, to be allocated a total of $5000.00 from the Spring term’s budget. The sponsorship committee deliberated to come up with the allocations, which saw each group receive at least partial funding for their requests. Note to those who received sponsorship: as soon as you have purchased the items that you had sponsorship allocated to you for, please submit receipts in the EngSoc Office for reimbursement.
Moving onto coveralls, they should be in some time this week. Once they have come in, everyone who purchased a pair will receive an email from me. Did you miss out on coverall day this term? Not to worry, there will be another in the Winter, with more patches, more covering, and more alling! I am also looking into an EngSoc Onesie day, for those who may be interested in that!
Interested in getting involved in the running of Novelties, the Engineering Society swag shop that is located in CPH foyer? Then you should apply to be a Novelties director for the Winter 2014 Term! Novelties Directors are the nice people that you see sitting in the store at lunch time, and are fundamental to the running of the store. If you have great ideas for new items, great ideas to improve existing items, or great ideas in general, then I suggest you apply! The form is available on the EngSoc website. Even if you’re not interested in being a director, I am always looking for novelties suggestions, so please let me know!
That’s about all I’ve got to update in terms of finances this issue. Thank you to everyone for a successful term, I have really enjoyed being your VP Finance so far, and look forward to what the Winter term has to bring. As always, if you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! My email is vpfinance.a@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca, and I am more than happy to talk about anything finance related with you! Good luck over co-op, and I will see you all in the Winter!
