From chacmool at ucalgary.ca Thu Oct 1 14:28:44 2015 From: chacmool at ucalgary.ca (Chacmool) Date: Thu Oct 1 14:29:09 2015 Subject: [Chacmool-l] Bake Sale Volunteers Message-ID: <005201d0fc87$c4df08c0$4e9d1a40$@ucalgary.ca> Chacmool members, This is not the regular Sunday email, we apologize. The Chacmool Conference is looking for volunteers for a bake sale next week Tuesday, October 6th and Wednesday, October 7th. This is to raise money for the November Conference. They are accepting baked goods [know your recipe for health reasons] or time to sit at the bake sale table which will be in Science B before you walk into the underground tunnel. This will count towards volunteer hours for the Conference itself. If you have 8 volunteer hours that have to do with the Conference then you get in for free! Please email chacmool@ucalgary.ca if you would like to either bake something or sit at the table. Also don't forget to come and support us by buying baked goods those days too if you cannot volunteer. Cheers, Chacmool PS. Calls for Volunteering for the actual Conference will commence next week for all members of Chacmool -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <004401d0fef4$ee655cc0$cb301640$@ucalgary.ca> Chacmool Members, This email contains many opportunities for volunteering and extracurricular events. We apologize for the length of this email in advance but please consider many of these opportunities for not just Chacmool but for your academic careers! Bake Sale: Our Conference committee is doing some fundraising this week on Tuesday and Wednesday Oct 6th & 7th. We are looking for some baked goods to be donated, and also people to occupy the bake sale table for any period of time on one of those days. Either of these will count towards volunteer hours as well as specific hours towards the conference. Remember that 8 hours volunteered totalled towards the conference allows you to attend for free! [If you bake any goods, please write a list of ingredients for health reasons]. Do not forget to at least stop by and support the bake sale! We will be located in Science B just before you walk into the tunnel towards MacHall. Noon Hour: Every week there is a noon hour lecture put on by the Anthropology and Archaeology Department. For the month of October, Chacmool will be supplying snacks for the noon hour. However, we usually seek volunteers to bring snacks themselves to the noon hour instead, and we give volunteer hours for doing this. The best part is, Chacmool will reimburse you for the snacks!! Seriously, all you have to do is go buy some cookies on campus and drop them off in the Chacmool office and then we give you money back and volunteer hours. How easy is that?! CHACMOOL CONFERENCE: The 48th Chacmool Conference is officially looking for volunteers now for the conference November 11th - 14th. Chacmool members get first dibs at volunteer hours too. We will not be accepting volunteers that are not members for another 2 weeks so hurry up, otherwise the good spots will be filled up! Remember, the conference is a good time to meet fellow volunteers which are mostly Chacmool and archaeology/anthropology majors, and also to meet international archaeologists and network (grades are not everything, networking is HUGE). Signup sheets are outside our office ES 826 or you can email us at chacmool@ucalgary.ca Please write your name, email, and your first and second preferences for volunteering and the dates/times you are available. *November 11th is evening only Conference positions are as follows: * Department Cleanup - This involves a separate day to clean the entire 8th floor (November 8th, Sunday). Automatic 8 hours. * Reception Set up (Nov 11) * Reception Cleanup (Nov 11) * Early Registration (Nov 11) * Registration- Check-in speakers and may handle payments if necessary * Merch Sales- Selling Chacmool merch and any other merch that will be available.

Close doors silently, get water, IT help * Floater- help where ever is needed. May be required to run around campus * Airport Pickup- pickup select guests if needed. Dates are tentative. Must drive a CLEAN car. Automatic 8 hours. Call for Next Year Conference Chairs: We are calling for abstracts for ideas for next year's 49th Chacmool Conference. Let's get serious here, being a student who is the chair (organizer) of a large conference is going to look amazing on your CV for your academic career! But it requires a lot of work. If you would like to be the chair or are intrigued by the idea come talk to Chacmool. You can have a friend who is a co-chair and you won't be alone! There will also be grad students and faculty organizers who will guide you on the committee as well as other students. Due date for abstracts is November 1st and the winning topic will be announced at this year's conference. The Chacmool team even came up with some topic areas you could use towards your abstract: - Sex. - Time. - Partying and Ceremonies. - Taboo. - Children. - Symbolism. Feel free to use these ideas or come up with your own. Come and chat with any of us execs or if you would like to sit on this year's conference committee for a meeting or two to get a feel on what responsibilities are required then you are always welcome to join and we will set that up for you. Archaeology Society of Alberta Casino night: The ASA is closely associated with the archaeology department at the UofC. On December 3rd and 4th they are hosting a Casino Night. They are looking for volunteers to help out and experience what it is like to work in a fast paced environment in an effort to raise money for the Association. You will also have a chance to meet Alberta CRM (Cultural Resource Management) archaeologist that you can network with. These people are contacts you can have for when you are looking for a summer job or a job after graduation in archaeology. Volunteering for this will put your name out there in a close knit archaeology community that is Alberta archaeology (even close provincial archaeology). Please contact Chacmool or Scott Graham the ASA student advisor (coincidentally your Chacmool President) at stgraham@ucalgary.ca We hope your consider these opportunities that we provide to help you all succeed, Chacmool Earth Sciences 826 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
