[Nebraska-students] NABS SOCIAL EVENT

[Jeremy Fifield]

Based on some discussion going on, I'll add a bit more:
 
The problem with a morning activity might be that some people, particularly new members, may not like the idea of getting up early in the morning just to go bowling. And while this is just a fun social activity, it should also be considered a promotional tool. Also, the difficulty arises when some people have to find a driver for early in the morning, or they have to try and find somewhere for both them and the driver to stay the night before. This may cause some confusion. So, while I personally don't care when and where the activity is, I know some people will. And of course there's the fact that there are other activities going on the same day. Could we maybe look for other places to go bowling that would offer lanes in the afternoon? Just a thought. As far as people having the rest of their afternoons free, I would think that there would be a larger number of people who would rather have their mornings free to sleep. But that's just my guess. I know
 we've had a couple expressing that opinion so far.

I'll spend my two cents worth as well:

For those of us who do happen to be in Omaha, we'd be needing a ride.  Now, personally, my parents don't really care if I need a ride, as long as I tell them I need a ride to here on this date I have to be there by that time.  Writitng it on my kitchen calander helps, but then again, they sometimes don't read that.  I like Jeremy's idea of maybe coming down the night before.  That I'd be ablet to do since I have Fridays off from school the way my schedule worked out.  The question is: where would we crash?  Like Jeremy said, there's positives and negatives to both.  I can also understand Steph's point of having it in the morning so we're not all rushing around to get to other events in the afternoon and evening.  I think the key word we're searching for here is flexible, which, as college students, I think we all can be flexible to some extent.

But we do also have to consider whether anyone will be having to get a ride to Lincoln the morning of the event. Hopefully they'd be able to come down the night before so that won't have to happen, but it's just a thought. This means they'd be up that much earlier. And I also like sleeping in a little on Saturday. So, there are positives and negatives, but I think overall we should be able to adapt. That is, after all, what we're about: adapting. So, that said, I'm fine with having events whenever.
