    Default Becky Kagan and David Schott Presentation Orlando FL Feb 4, 2009

    Hey Guys,

    I wanted to let everyone know that you are all welcome to attend a presentation by Becky and Dave. The WW footage that isn't yet available to the public will be shown as well as various other diving clips including some wreck and shark footage. They are also bringing gear (megs, dpv's, hd camera gear, etc) for those of you lurkers who might be up and coming in cave diving and want to see what it's all about.

    The presentation will be in Classroom 1, Room 104 starting at 7pm on the 4th and there will be no charge except a $5 parking fee. I know many of you will be cutting it close after work, so I'll list nearby places to eat before you come.

    If you'd like to grab a food/drinks before or after, UCF has a bar and grill with over 50 beers on tap (link) and the UCF tradition, wakadoos with limited food/drink selection.



    If all you want is food, the following is available on campus-
    • Subway
    • chick fil a
    • redbrick
    • kyoto (japanese)
    • sushi bar
    • pasty shop
    • burger king
    • sbarro
    • chinese place (don't remember the name)
    • qdoba (mexican)
    • Knightros cafeteria (good food, not your typical cafeteria--all you can eat)
    • einsteins
    • smoothie king

    Within 5 minutes of campus you have-
    • applebees
    • ale house
    • tgi fridays
    • boston market
    • amigos
    • macaroni grill
    • firehouse subs
    • longhorn streakhouse
    (and several I can't remember)

    Finally, I would like this time to publicly thank David and Becky for their time. They offered us a very reasonable rate that we were able to successfully petition SGA for. A fellow club officer, Michael Gibby also deserves a ton of credit, he's busted his butt helping get all the rooms reserved, funds issued, and club in order. This is the first time in the history of dive club to our knowledge we have brought in a guest speaker, and we managed to pull off two within the first 3 weeks of the semester. For those of you who have worked with government agencies, you know what an accomplishment pulling these things off are. For those of you who haven't, wait until the government is running health care (couldn't resist that one)

    Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Seating is reserved for UCF students first since it's their activity fees paying for this, however we reserved a large room to enable us to invite the community.

    Here's the directions-

    Here's the parking payment stations you'll look for in the corner of the garages-


    Once you're in the stairwell of the garage, here's the view of campus you'll see.


    Here's a street view on google so you can see the path around campus before you go

    Classroom 1 is the building.

    http://campusmap.ucf.edu/flash/index.php

    There is a drop down menu on the right side of the page to select a building. It is called "Classroom Building" and its abbreviation is "CL1" It is the only building named "Classroom."

    Closest parking will be Garage D, across from the Arena and Tower's dormatories. There are permit selling stations at every corner I believe, in every garage, that take cash and give no change. From there, it's a 5 minute walk to Classroom 1, and room 104 is on the first floor at the end further away from the parking garage.

    Billy-

    Classroom 1 is the building. If you don't want to walk around campus hopelessly lost (it's huge, and I was late to half my freshman classes because of this) or pay for parking you're more than welcome to stop by my apartment in Waterford Lakes and ride with me.

    I'll bring a name tag for you...you know...in case people don't recognize the "new" you

    PS- if you have a way to invite the spruce creek guys (forum or mass email), it would be appreciated.
