Food @ Computers
- No food on or above the tables. It’s okay if you sit back a bit.
- Only water is allowed on the table, and the water has to be a closed bottle.
How 2 run an event
- Say we have a Microsoft tech talk. Room is booked, they’re CAP.
  - CAP means they paid the dept lots of money so that they can interview on campus. They can actively recruit!
  - Otherwise, they cannot actively recruit. They can’t say “Give me your resume!!!”
  - Woz is booked every day 5-8 for CAP events.
- Suppose our event is 6-7:30.
- So we need to start setting up at 5:30!
  - Bring drinks, go talk to recruiters, etc.
- Food will usually get there around 5:50.
- Then make sure that people are standing by and are present.
- What if we’re out of stock from the back for drinks?
  - Bring a couple drinks from the fridge?
- Bring a few pallets (boxes) of water/soda.
- Ask company representative if they want to serve food before or after event
  - If people serve before the event, then some people just leave right afterwards.
- Each event needs an event coordinator to talk to the company about stuff.
- Serve food! Have gloves on. If not enough food then portion it out.
- Then clean it up!
Venmo issue
- Water has been wiped :c no access to venmo for now.
- Must wait until treasurer@csua is back up and running.
