Since I have yet to receive death threats, or anything of that ilk, I judge the vast overwhelming silence to be tacit permission to continue emailing all of you. Yeh! So, if the thought of receiving my continued emails whining for money, membership appeals, etc. or just reminders of the upcoming CNERS calendar nauseates you, just email me back and I will remove you from the list. And then sale your email to spammers :-) (just kidding. really).
ANYWAY.
Here's a look at what's happening this week.
September 20th to the 24th we are having a booth at CLUBS days in the S.U.B. If you feel a fevered need to help us man / woman it, please let me know. We will be there from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Such devotion.
September 24th: TROY NIGHT. If Troy made your blood boil, or break down into hysterics, or made you think it was a COMEDY, then truly we are your type of club. Come and join us at 7.30 p.m. at the Meekison Arts Students Space to hear lectures concerning the legend of Troy itself (the actual one, not that Hollywood Bastardization) and the treatment of Troy by corporate entertainment syndicates. Let the knives come out!
September 29th: Our Annual General Meeting! Now's the time to stage your own very coup! Can you manage to bring us, the exec., down? Come and find out! (Aside from the power struggles, this is also the time to present the budget and fill these vacant seats for the exec: A.U.S. Rep., Social Coordinator, and General Officers).
September 30th: Tentative show debate. Format and content still unclear. Will it be an event pandering to the litterati? Or will we go tabloid and do Paris and the Judging of the Goddesses? If you have an idea, or you want to participate, let me know!
And finally! The Penultimate Event of the Winter Term!
October 23rd: ROYAL BC MUSEUM TRIP!!!! This might be our most exciting event of the year (we're going outside of Vancouver for a change!). We've asked Dr. Hikade to come along with us on a trip to see the Egypt exhibit at the Royal BC Museum. CNERS SA is planning on purchasing a small number (~30) of tickets to sell to members of the Club or other students/faculty interested in coming at a group rate. The price will be $10 for members and $13 (at cost for groups of 15+ people) for non-members. Please e-mail us to let us know if you will be wanting to come on the trip with us, and how many tickets you would like. This is the last weekend of the exhibit, and we're hoping to have an excellent turn-out with faculty and students alike. Everyone is welcome to join us.
So, dear people, that's it for now. If you want these emails to be relevant to your life (and until you tell me otherwise, your on my list) then please, please, drop by our booth in the SUB between the 20th and the 24th! (location unknown.... the SUB people have dark needs to be authoritative).
Take Care, John W. Blattler,

Hail Laura, Imperiatrix!
