Charity Ball seeks volunteers

It's time to start planning the Fanshawe Student Union's annual Charity Ball, so consider this your formal invitation to help!

If you're interested in volunteering and helping to plan this semiformal event, you can show up to the first meeting on November 20 at 5 p.m. in SC2016. This is where all the major decisions for the event will be made, such as the theme, marketing strategies and which charity the event will raise money for.

Volunteers will be asked to come to three meetings before the Charity Ball and be available the day of the event to set up before it begins and to help clean up after.

"This is a great event for students to participate in; it's a lot of fun and it's for a great cause," said John Young, operations manager for the FSU, who is organizing the event.

The Charity Ball takes place on February 9, 2013, and runs from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. in the Oasis. It's a night of dancing, fun and a midnight buffet. This is also a licenced event, and a limited number of underage students will be able to purchase tickets in advance.
