At the bottom of this email is a list of people who have confirmed their attendance. Those who are attending should check to make sure that their name is on the list, and if it isn't, please contact either me (ctheng@andrew.cmu.edu) or Ivan (iklee@andrew.cmu.edu) as soon as possible.

As always, hope to see you there!

Three SSA Announcements

There are three announcements regarding SSA events:

1. KTV / Games Nite will be held on April 12, 2008, from 6pm onwards. Come for a night of gathering and fun with fellow SSA members. The venue is West Wing TV Lounge. For those of you who don't know where that is, West Wing is the building between the UC and CMU Cafe, next to Gesling field. Feel free to bring whatever games you wish along, such as poker or mahjong. Dinner (pizza and wings) will be provided.

2. End of Semester Dinner will be held to commemorate the end of the school year, and to bid farewell to the graduating students. All SSA members are encouraged to come. It will be held on Friday 2 May 2008, at Oriental Kitchen, from 7pm onwards. Details of how to get there will be provided closer to the date.

The cost will be $5 per person (heavily subsidized). We will be collecting payment during the KTV/Games Nite, so please bring along the money if you are interested. If you are unable to make it to KTV/Games Nite but wish to attend the dinner, send an email to any member of the Exco to indicate your attendance.

3. To help the incoming freshmen next year, there is a wiki set up on the SSA webpage. This wiki was set up to provide information about life in Pittsburgh and college life in general. However, it is rather outdated. Hence, we would like to invite all SSA members to contribute to the SSA wiki.

To contribute to the wiki, follow these instructions:

1. Go to the ssa website (www.cmussa.org) and login (top right corner).
2. Click on ssaWIKI.
3. On the page you want to edit, click "User Actions" in the top horizontal navigation bar
4. Click "Edit this page"
5. Make any changes to the document as you deem fit. At the bottom of the page is a description on how to format text in your post.
6. Please post with care. Do not delete unnecessary text by accident, and I trust that we'll all contribute to the ssaWIKI sensibly for the benefit of the community.

*NOTE: some pages cannot be edited -- you'll won't see the "Edit this page" option.

Thank you! And hope to see you all next Saturday!
