[HKN AlumRel] End of Summer 2001 B Newsletter

This message sent to alumni, officers, and old-officers.

Sup all,
Ok, so I lied, this might be more common than I thought it'd be.

Administrative Junk:

-Old-Officers have been added, so some of you might be receiving this copy
twice. I was informed that Old-officers might be alumni, and be expecting
this newsletter. Here's your warning, get signed up, cause I'll only send
this to old-officers 1 more additional time.
-If you signed up again on the alumni-list to correct or add data anytime
since early July, please do so again. Due to a confusion in file
permissions, that data was lost. If in doubt, go ahead, I'll manually
confirm it. 
-The following alumni, should get in contact with me.
 Aaron Isaksen, Alan Chou, Jeff Shneidman- I dug up your info from an
older copy of the database, if you could resubmit using the form at
hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu, I'd be much obliged. Part of the blame is the
system being down, so excuse the blatant cut and paste.
-I need the following alumn's email address.
 Leon Zhou, his cory.eecs is gone.
-Alumni section now has a database of old newsletters just in case you
missed em. Well not really database, but browsable. I'll leave it txt
files until someone decides to contribute content. (Hint hint pictures),
and then maybe I'll build an html version.

-I now have a pretty version of the alumni list available upon
request. I'll soon password protect and pass out the password, if you'd
like to see it, email me.

Tshirts/Yearbooks:
Blatant cut and paste (skippable)
-Another of my jobs is sending out Tshirts/yearbooks to all the alumni who
decide to add their name to our spam list..... er mail list. However,
since my info is sketchy at best for who's gotten what, I'll rely on the
honor system. If you haven't received either shirt or yearbook, please
tell me, with your current mailing address, and I'll fix that situation.
For any alumni I've already talked to, this doesn't apply to you. :)
Just a note, I'll be waiting until the new yearbook is produced before
sending it out. If you'd like the older one, inform me, I can send both if
Bridge lets me. 

Activities:
_REPLY ASAP_Alumni Appreciation
When: Friday, Sept 7, 2001 6:00pm - 9:00pm (Earlier is better cause OSF is
anal) Week _AFTER_ labor day

Notes: 
The following officers/alumni have RSVPed, and frankly, I'm depressed at
such a low turnout.
Bernie Lin
Morgan Chen

Paul Huang
Byron Yu
Michael Baer

-Some where wondering why it was Friday, this was supposed to allow alumni
to get out here if they wanted to from other locations. It almost feels as
if it didn't work so well. :(
-Officers, if you gonna come RSVP, don't assume I'm gonna include you
until
you do. 
-If you rsvped, and I didn't list it, I missed it, email me and inform me
of my stupidity. :D 
-As for what I mean by OSF is anal, they won't take a reservation on the
weekend. Therefore, we have to showup, with 70% of our people there to be
seated. So that's why RSVPing is imperative. The benefit of this, is we
get access to the full menu. If you're gonna be late, tell me please, so I
can fudge the headcount. 

I received a suggestion for having an activity in the LA area, and I'd
have no problem with that, but I don't know if I could do anything more
than be a central board for the ideas to be passed around. I do plan to
get a message board eventually set up, so anyone could post about
events. If you have an idea for an event in YOUR area and wanted to know
if any other alumni were there. Feel free to ask, I'll be willing to get
spammed so you could find out. 
- On that note, if you'd be interested in LA activities, spam me now so I
can get the info passed on.

I also received a suggestion for Alumni /Candidate/Member broomball. I'm
looking into that. Currently we have a tentative broom ball planned on the
27th of September at 10pm. I'll look into turning that into the
appropriate theme, but at this point, it isn't set yet. Of course you're
always welcome to show up then anyway.

Alumni to Alumni:
-Nothing :~(.
-Come on, you guys have to have something funny/enlightening to share. 

Comments: 
-I've gotten alot of encouragement from alumni, and I'd like to thank you
for the support. It makes this whole spamming thing easier.... err forget
I said spam... but regardless, I appreciate it. Of course, this newsletter
is for you, (Alumni), so if you see anything you want changed, adjusted,
tell me and I'll see what I can do. 
-If you run into any old HKN who don't know about the Alumni network we're
trying to build, please point them our way. 
-If you consider this spam, and would like to be removed from the
Alumnilist, please reply and I'll handle it.

That's all for now, take it easy all,
