NY Emmys Trip
Hey Everyone!
Well, it's almost Spring semester, so that means it's time to talk about the NY Emmys Trip. First, a brief explanation of the Emmys: they are designed to award local news in NYC and the event is generally a good chance to network. Now, this year is a bit different. First, Bill Hanauer, our good friend and executive director of the NY Chapter, has left the organization, leaving the previous awards director, Jacqueline Gonzalez, in charge. She has been generous enough to offer volunteer positions to us, but no official word yet on having an actual "table" at the event like in years past.
One major reason why this year is different is because the Emmys are on SUNDAY MARCH 12TH. For those of you without a calendar at hand, this is the first Sunday of our Spring Break. Generally, most students leave for home/Cancun on that Friday, the 10th, if not earlier. We would not get back to the Syracuse-area until Monday the 13th.
I am emailing you today to find out if there are people interested in attending the NY Emmys, which means that we will try to get a hotel on Saturday night and volunteer at the event on Sunday. If there is enough interest, we will try to arrange the trip--but no promises (money and other factors are still up in the air).
If we do not go to the NY Emmys this year, we will try to go next year (2007) and will definitely try and arrange another trip to NYC for some seminars. If you live in the NYC area/could provide your own transportation to the event, let me know and I can inform Jacqueline of your intentions of coming to volunteer.
PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO GO. IF THERE IS NO INTEREST, WE WILL CANCEL THE TRIP AND PLAN ANOTHER TRIP TO NYC FOR SOME TIME IN APRIL.
Hope everyone had a great break!
Ryan
