IT'S FINALLY HERE! IT'S THIS WEEKEND!
official itinerary will go out later this week
If you're on one of the teams or just working the event to set up, you need to be at the mall by 8-8:15 am to help carry cans inside
the building will start once everything is in and go over the rules
won't go over 6 hours for building per day (i.e. if we start at 12 then we will end at 6)
starting time for Sunday depends how much gets built on Saturday
structures will stay up the entire week
next general meeting 3/5: we will be meeting at the mall at the normal time
we will be tearing down the builds to put in boxes and give to TCM
if you know you can't stay after meeting, then you need to come sometime before the meeting
this is mandatory for everyone to attend (whether it's at the meeting or earlier in the day)!
transportation is not an excuse for not being able to attend
there's a bus from campus to the mall
there is also a carpool sign up sheet that will go out closer to the next meeting
getting cans from Walmart to Mall
Plan A: Saturday morning--need people with big cars to pick up cans to drive them to the mall
Plan B: if Walmart makes us pick up cans before Saturday then if you volunteer your big car to help for Plan A then stay tuned
Shift Sign Ups
2 hours are REQUIRED! for all members
total for the weekend
doesn't need to be consecutive
if you show up early to help move cans in because you can (pun not intended and took 2 hours, and signed up for a shift later in the day, you must still attend your shift even though you met the 2 hour requirement
when you arrive you MUST check in with Amber at the event
sign up sheet
if you're on a team, you don't need to sign up. but can if you want extra point
there has to be at least 1 person per time slot
if you're just working the event (not on a team)
you will be manning the table or walking around to tell people about TCM and Canstruction and maybe handing out flyers
Teams
if you're in one of the teams, you should have been added to a groupme
look for sign ups on where and when you need to be there because only 5 people are allowed to be building at a time
there will be food and water for teams
if you have a go pro let Amber know, so we can take cool videos of the event
