Hello everyone!
We hope you’ve had a good term and that finals week is not being too harsh on you. This email contains lots of very important information, so please read it all the way through.
As you know, the F&S club is new this year, and so we are still making a lot of changes to best meet our community’s needs. Next term will look a little different as we implement the following changes:
Meetings will only be on Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 (unless stated otherwise). We felt that the club was unintentionally divided, with a Monday group and a Tuesday group that never interacted. With only Tuesday meetings, we hope to get more people in the garage so you can make even more new friends. Note: we do not meet weeks 9 - 10.Spring term fashion show - Some of you may remember us mentioning an end-of-the-year fashion show. However, we’ve noticed a little bit of uncertainty regarding the show. We want to understand how you feel so we’ve made a survey where you can tell us more. This survey includes questions like: Do you want to do a fashion show? What would it look like? How ready do you feel? And more. Out of anything else in this email, please be sure to fill out this survey!
A-board - As we go for the second year of this club (yay!), we are starting to consider how this community can continue as some of us leave DU. So, we’ve decided to establish an assisting board. The assisting board is open to anyone and it is very low-commitment. You can join our board meetings and take a look behind the scenes. If there’s a position you want to learn you can accompany the board member in that current position as they “teach you the ropes”. Two important side notes:
- This coming fall, every current board member will be studying abroad. So, we would love to have some of the A-board step in as temporary officers while we are away. This way you can decide if this is something you want to do in the future.
- We will be changing the constitution’s outline regarding new board members. Currently, it states that new officers will be assigned as needed. However, we want this club to keep going for years at DU, allowing future students to explore their creativity and find a community. So, officers will be elected every one or two years (we are still deciding on how long), and the previous officers will then take on a mentor role.
If you are interested in joining the Fashion & Sewing club A-board, please fill out this survey or email us.
Finally, so we don’t fully bombard you with surveys right now, we will be sending out a survey early next term where you can tell us what you want to learn!
That’s all, thank you for reading all the way. Good luck with finals and thanks for a great term!
With love,
F&S board
