From Chacmool at ucalgary.ca Tue Jan 17 20:30:51 2012 From: Chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool Archaeology Association) Date: Tue Jan 17 20:32:03 2012 Subject: [Chacmool-l] January 17, 2012 Message-ID: Hello Chacmoolians, Welcome back to another semester, and we hope you?ve all had a great break and ready to go! 1 ? New Office Hours 2 ? Sports! 3 ? Noon Hour Lectures (and volunteers) 4 ? Wine & Cheese 5 ? New Events 1) As the new semester brings schedule changes for us all, the office hours for the Chacmool executives changes as well. For the winter semester the Chacmool office (ES 826) will be open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday (note: not Thursday) from 12:00 to 1:00. If you wish to meet with us at any other time, please just send us an email and we can arrange something to accommodate. 2) Squash! Not just a delicious fruit, but also a fantastic game. For those squash veterans amongst you, and those of you who have never seen the inside of a squash court, we welcome you all to come out and play with other members of the department. We are hoping to run a Chacmool Squash Tournament sometime late in the semester (date TBA) and anyone will be welcome to participate, but until then we try to play throughout the week, and you?re invited to join us. We usually play Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays at 4:00, as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:00. If you?d like to join in just let us know and we?ll make sure to books enough courts. 3) The Noon Hour Lectures return! To kick things off Jennifer Chmilar will be presenting this Wednesday, January 17, in ES 859 at (you guessed it) noon! However we are currently lacking volunteers to help out by bringing snacks to the lectures and making sure critically important things like coffee are prepared. There will be a sign up sheet outside the Chacmool office (ES 826) for anyone interested in helping out. Remember: if you bring receipts we will reimburse you for the cost, and these hours can be put towards you co-curricular record. 4) The much-celebrated Chacmool Wine & Cheese returns again! By popular demand we will be hosting yet another casual get-together in ES 859, this time on February 3rd. As usual there will be a plethora of cheeses (all free), some other light snacks, and a good selection of modestly-priced wines. It?s always a great time, and if you don?t believe me, then just ask any of the 50+ people who dropped by last time. Definitely not worth missing! 5) Beer & wings, movie nights, board game evenings, jousting tournaments okay, probably not that last one (could you imagine the paperwork required?!), but think of the possibilities! We?d like you input in what events you?d like Chacmool to run this semester, and in the future. Just drop us an email telling us what kind of thing you?d like to see us do, and if we have the demand for it, we?ll try to make it happen! To give your brains a kick-start, previous events included: museum tours, flint-knapping workshops, gingerbread contests, graveyard tours, and a host of other things, some only tangentially related to archaeology (which is fine with us!). Until next time, STAY WARM! (I?m serious, it?s bloody cold out there!)
