KCSA Notes

Welcome Back to one and all!
The exec board of the Krannert Center Student Association is tickled pink that you've all come back for another great semester with us. We're happy to report that there are more opportunities to get involved in the arts and outreach than ever. The most important thing for you to know right now is that registration is open! Click here http://www.kcsa.uiuc.edu/registration/ to register! This is the place for us to gather information about what shows you would like to request for ushering, what departments you'd like to be a part of, and all things KCSA in general. Please remember that ALL members of KCSA must re-register EVERY semester, even if you have done so in the past. Once you register, you will officially be a KCSA member (woohoo!) and you will be on our listserv. That means you will get my lovely volunteer info-filled emails every Sunday night, like this! As always, don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about how to get involved, procedure, events, you name it. Now, sit back and take in the KCSA events:


Jeopardy/Game Night: January 27, 7pm, Krannert Room
General Meeting: January 28, 7pm, Festival Foyer
Tours Info
Ushering Info
Callboard info


**********************
What better way to take a break from your first full week of classes *cringe* than with a fun game night? KCSA will be having board games galore, but best of all a KCSA Jeopardy game! It's a great way to learn more about KCSA (or impress all your friends with your ushering/tour guide knowledge) and earn a little candy. The event will take place in the Krannert Room, which is office the Krannert Center lobby. Just look for friendly faces in the lobby to direct you. Hope to see you there!
***********************


General Meeting!
KCSA's big ole general meeting will be taking place on Wednesday, January 28 at 7pm in the Festival Foyer. Again, just look for people in the lobby to direct you. KCSA adboard members will be available to answer questions about their departments and the kinds of volunteering you can do. Don't be afraid to grill us with your inquiries, we love new members! Also a mass usher training for new ushers will occur directly after the meeting! You must be trained before you can usher a show, so if you're new, try your best to make this one!

Info from our tours director, Steve:


The TOURS department needs TOUR GUIDES! Being a tour guide is a great way to work on your public speaking skills as well as a great way to earn FREE tickets to Krannert Center Shows!!! If you are interested in becoming a tour guide, keep reading to figure out how to achieve this prestigious position of Krannert Center Tour guide. And remember THERE IS NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!!!!!!

TOURS TRAINING!!!
The tours department will be holding TWO training nights this semester. The two dates are WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, AFTER THE KCSA GENERAL MEETING AND MONDAY FEBRUARY 2 AT 6:30 PM IN THE KCPA LOBBY.

TOURS CERTIFICATION!!!
The tours department will also be holding TWO certification nights this semester. The two dates for the certification are SATURDAY FEBRUARY 7 AT 2:00 PM AND MONDAY FEBRUARY 9 AT 6:00 PM.

Also, for those certified tour guides out there there are plenty of days that need a tour guide as of right now. Also, there are a few special tours already scheduled this semester. Those dates are:

January 27, at 3:30 pm. A group of 15 to 20 would like a tour. 1 tour guide needed.

March 5, at 1:00 pm. A group of 125 to 130 would like a tour. We will need 3 to 5 tour guides for this group. So if you can help that would be AWESOME!

And finally, there are some spots open on the KCSA Adboard in the tours department! If you are looking to take some kind of leadership position, build your resume, and/or have a great time, this is the place to do it! Also, there are great benefits for being on the Adboard. Just keep your eyes out for applications and deadlines in notes! Good luck with the beginning of the semester!!!

And lastly, a word from our Callboard (online blog) Director, Eric:


Writers, photographers and volunteers.

Please feel free to share any pictures/videos you might have from your experiances at the Krannert Center!

To all volunteers if you have a favorite show, please share it on Callboard. The more you can share or be a part of our blog https://wiki.cites.uiuc.edu/wiki/display/KCSA/Callboard the more you can connect with others who spend their time to volunteer.

Coming soon-New membership will allow access for anyone to write for Callboard without having to go through all the red tape!

Don't like what you see? What to see something on Callboard you haven't seen before? Let me know at egordon3@illinois.edu.

Until then I hope to see members on Tues and Wednesday for all the actvities!

All the best,
Eric Gordon
