New Year, New Dreams!
Hey there Costalites!
Happy new year and I hope ya'll have been having yourself an awesome kick-ass semester so far! Anyway, just to let you know, we've got some awesome possum upcoming events planned for you this semester itself and the first, and most upcoming one shall be the members meeting, proposed to be held on the 31st of March (I know it is pushing it a little late...but well, there's just a few of us exco running the show here!)
But formalities aside, there's always the COSTA bash to look forward to and every year (and because we believe in self expression and all that jazz), COSTA makes it a themed party which means not only the games, but the food and the atmosphere will be decorated and jazzed up as much as possible to fit in with the theme. This even is scheduled to take place on the second of April. The theme this year is non other than the classical movie genre of HORROR!
Why am I telling you this now? Simply because it will give you time to think of what you want to do at the party itself. You will definitely see US in costume, and even some of our lecturers! Now, a costume is not exactly compuslary but...well you wouldn't want to be left out would you?!
On another note, I'm going to just take us back to last year's event of the Monash Street Carnival where, through selling our little handmade braceletts and cupcakes, COSTA managed to make enough money to sponsor the satellite monitering of two endangered sea-turtles, one in Indonesia and hte other just off the coast of Australia. They are both females and because of new satelitte technology we can check their movements and where they may have deposited their eggs.
If you're interested do check out seaturtle.org.
Also, in relation to that, does anyone have an interest in helping ure dear COSTA exco out during the Monash Musical Festival on the 25th of April? Once again, we'll be setting up a booth and could use all the help we can get! Interested folks just send me an email at monashcosta@gmail.com.
As for workshops, there will be a photography workshop this semester, once again fully sponsored, and we will not only offer photograph taking skills but editing skills through photoshop as well! More details on that to come.
Finally before I leave ya'll, there's something else we wish to do this semester and that is the one and only Students vs. Lecturers DODGEBALL Tournament! Although the dates for the tournament is yet to be confirmed, I suppose it's only fair to voice out that we are only going to use Lecturers from the School of Arts as COSTA is, after all is said and done, essentially a division under the School of Arts. But seeing as how many students have arts electives, I'm sure you will find SOME satisfaction in hurling a hard, red ball at one of the lecturers!
And that's all we've got planned for you this semester.
I hope you enjoy your term in COSTA.
Signing off,
Cyren.
