2. New way to find usher subs!
Starting this semester, we are testing out a new way for all of you who usher to find subs. Instead of using the yahoo group, where you have to remember another pesky password and remember to check the thing consistently if you want to usher a specific show, here is what you can now do: If you need a substitute for a show, simply send an email to KCSA-USHERING-L@listserv.illinois.edu that states clearly the name and date of the show you want a sub for. Then, if you want to usher that show and are not already assigned it, email the person back and tell them you would love to take the show for them. Make sure to give them your contact info so that they can fill out the usher change request form on the website - that part will still be the same. Please do NOT email the listserv if you want to substitute for a particular show. Only email the listserv if you are looking for a sub. We will post a form email on the website soon that you can use, and just insert the name and date of the show, and we'll make sure to put it in an easy-to-find location. Hope this makes your lives easier, and email croloff2@illinois.edu if you have any questions/concerns.

3. General Meeting
The next general meeting, aka social event designed for you to hang out with your friends in KCSA and also make new ones, is coming up on Tuesday, October 13th from 6-8 pm, so mark your calendars now! The event is still to be determined, so if you have a brilliant idea or would like to help out with planning the event, contact croloff2@illinois.edu. Whatever it is that we end up doing, whether it be a board game night, a fun craft, or a philanthropy event, it is guaranteed to be a fun way to get involved and be around Krannert, so be sure to save the date!

4. Taste of the Arts
Greetings from the Community Outreach department. Since it is now officially October, that means that this year's Taste of the Arts (TOTA) is only a few weeks away. Mark your calendars for Saturday, Oct. 24! The event is scheduled to run from 12-4pm in the Krannert Lobby and there will be many awesome performances from a variety of student groups, an assortment of craft booths, food, dancing, and much more! Help spread the word to all your peers, friends, and family. If you're interested in helping out with the event, please contact Elaine at ejwu3@uiuc.edu or stop by her office hour on Mondays at noon in the KCSA office.

5. Callboard update
There is finally some new weekly content coming up on Callboard! A special feature on Krannert happenings, upcoming performances, facts and the return of the top ten things to do each weekend are just a few of the items you can read each week on Callboard.
