FAC Fun Day Out - Details!
Dear Fine Arts Council,
This Sunday is our Fun Day Out! Hooray, this is our time to relax! There will be no regular meeting. Our Fun Day Out will replace our normal 6 o'clock meeting.
WHAT: Fun Day Out! Fine Arts Council is going to the Austin Museum of Art (AMOA)to see the "Extra-Ordinary: The Everyday Object in American Art" exhibition as a group and afterwards we will go to Peace Park to grill hot dogs (we have tofu).
WHEN: 3:30-6ish Sunday, September 30, 2007.
WHERE: We will meet in front of the DFA library by the street at 3:30pm. The lovely three, Povy, Anooshey, and Katelyn have all agreed to drive us to AMOA and Peace Park. If you would rather drive yourself, then you could meet us at 4 at AMOA. In summary, these are the locations in sequence:
1.DFA
2.Austin Museum of Art
3.Peace Park
WHO: Everyone is invited. Even if you have never been to an official meeting, I encourage you to come and meet some of your fellow collegiates.
I've heard many a fine arts student say that before you know it, you're in your last year and you still haven't met or become friends with a student from another department in the College of Fine Arts. Don't take these years for granted!
Thanks to Anooshey Rahim for organizing what I think will be a wonderful event.
Hope to see you there,
Sarah
