Fall 2001 Grad Student, Faculty and Staff Barbeque

August 2001

This year's Fall barbeque will be held on the north end of Kittredge Field. Kittredge Field is located just south of the Coors Events Center between 28th Street/US 36 and the Kittredge dorms. Look for the white tent with the big yellow "Computer Science" banner and you'll find the party. We'll be hanging out in the sun, having a barbeque and playing volleyball. The BBQ is during the normal Colloqium time slot so that everyone can attend.

Feel free to come join us. The picnic is open to all CS department graduate students (both PhD and Master's) as well as CS faculty and staff. We encourage everyone to show up and hang out with your fellow members of the department. Feel free to bring your SOs and children, but let us know so that we can get enough food and drinks.

If you plan to attend, please send me Soraya Ghiasi mail and let me know how many people you will be bringing so that we can get the necessary amount of food. Also, let me know if you are a vegetarian or plan to eat like one at the BBQ, have dietary restrictions that come into play in a picnic, or have food allergies we should try to avoid. We'll be providing a variety of grillable food plus some additional side dishes and desserts. If you have food or drink requests, let us know. We'll take them under consideration, but make no guarantees. The department will be providing the food and beverages (water, lemonade, soda, beer and hard cider).

Risk Management and the CU Police mandate that we check IDs for everyone drinking alcohol to ensure that we aren't giving alcohol to anyone under 21. If you plan to drink alcohol, make sure you bring your driver's license.

We are looking for volunteers to help us get everything non-perishable loaded into vehicles in the afternoon on August 29th. We are also looking for volunteers to help get everything over to the north end of Kittredge Field and set up starting at 1:00pm on August 30th. We also need volunteers to help us clean up and tear everything down afterwards. If you are willing to help, let us know.

If you are planning to attend, please let me know by Wednesday, August 29th at 9:00am. Let me know how many people you will be bringing and any dietary considerations we need to keep in mind. This will leave us with enough time to actually get all the supplies and get organized for the BBQ the next day.
