>>1. i dont think we can give them LESS than 15
>>minutes. i think it's rude, and i dont think a person
>>can get a point across, not a point like this, in
>>less. i think we should tell them 20 minutes and be
>>prepared for a runover of about ten minutes. first
>>and foremost, we have to ask them what they NORMALLY
>>work under. ive seen people in my health class come
>>up and speak for a week, an hour a day, so you know.
>>we've got to find out them and really, work around
>>them. thats my opinion.

Yeah, I think 20 minutes is okay, but 30 should DEFINITELY be the maximum. Because we don't want the audience to get TOTALLY depressed right in the middle of our party. As long as they're done by 8:55, it's totally cool.


>>2. should the topic be open? i think it should be.
>>i mean, be about their center;s involvement with
>>rainn, but as far as what they say about their
>>involvement, whether it be their personal crisis or
>>one theyve handled, either way, i think we should
>>leave that up to them.

Yeah, whatever they feel most comfortable sharing, whether it's a personal experience w/ rape, or if they're a counselor, and how they've helped (via RAINN) victims. Totally open.


>>3. what time should they go? halfway through?

8:22

>>4. what time will they have to be there, the whole
>>night?

It would be best if they could be there the whole night, so they can answer any specific questions. The worst thing would be for the guests coming up to us with all sorts of questions and we would just be like "i don't know." that would suck! so yeah, he or she should be there from 7-11.


>>5. should/can they bring info to pass out, can they
>>set up their own booth to answer questions if theyd
>>like, can they bring an extra person to help with the
>>maintenance of the booth? i say yes to all of these.
>>im talking about a single table on the right side of
>>the room.

Yes, Yes, Yes

>>um, anything else i should be prepared to answer?
they *might* ask for a free ticket for a friend or so. I say we give them 2 additional free tickets, not including their pass or assistant. what do you guys think?


And Christina, you should totally do this ASAP...they can most definitely help us with promoting the event. I'm sure they'll have TONS of people who would want to come!
