Weekly announcements are one of the main ways we communicate with the group as a whole. The announcements are emailed to tech-squares@mit.edu, put on our homepage, and read at Squares that night. Different sets of announcements are appropriate for these different audiences.

Emailed announcements

There's a lot of information about this, so see Emailed Announcements. 

Website

So what would go on the website is just the announcement about rounds. The website automatically updates the dance schedule but rounds are a little more specific. Usually there are also a few more announcements; this is a template. Notice that the announcement, which is sent out on Monday, includes information about the rounds happening the next day.

Announcements read at the dance:

The following are descriptions of announcements that can be read at dances. Whoever reads announcements should read what is written and not extemporize. (As Kevin says, the announcement sheet is not a PowerPoint.)

  • Next week, we are in WEIRD LOCATION (Not W20). You need to do STUFF to get there. 
  • Next week we're not dancing. 
  • (When determined & the week before) On DATE, we will have a club meeting to elect officers/vote on something/etc. 
  • Officer meeting within the next week iff it is basically a club discussion
  • Class starting soon, especially is there are posters for people to take (and people should be encouraged to take posters!)
  • Subscriptions for the SEASON term which starts in X weeks, are now available. You can buy one at gate after this tip. (Coordinate with gate and treasurers so this statement is true)
  • Next week is graduation.
  • Next week is a technique workshop on TOPIC, or Next week a new rounds class starts on TOPIC.
  • (once per thing) Let one of our callers announce a local Plus accessible dance or class that they are calling. (Plus or lower level, or an Advanced class).
