Hello PONGers.  We hope everyone is enjoying their summer break.

We wanted to inform everyone about our upcoming PONG Expo LAN in October.  This is the first event of the 2013-14 school year, and will last for 48 hours!  Also, this event will be one of the biggest PONG events of the year.  It is the first event after classes start, so there will be a lot of new people attending.  We expect to completely fill our 200 person limit.

You can head on over to OrgSync to sign up and sign the risk awareness form.  However, you will not be able to pick a seat until September 10th.  We do this to make it fair, so new members who will be joining us in the fall have a chance to get a seat.

If you have any questions or ideas on what you would like to see at this event, please let us know on our forums.

Hello! Please join us tonight for our final meeting of the semester at 8PM in the White Pine room of the MSC! We’ll be wrapping up this academic year and discussing next year, including important information about elections for executive positions!

As always, if you can’t make it, feel free to join us via livestream at www.twitch.tv/ponguwstout! See you there!

Hello everyone,
We just got word that we will be holding a Child’s Play event which is a charity organization that provides toys and entertainment to children’s hospitals.  If you would like to donate we will be having a donation bucket at the LAN which our treasurer will be handling. You do not have to donate to participate in the LAN but it is encouraged.

If you would like more information about Child’s Play events go here: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/

For all of you who haven’t signed up yet don’t forget to reserve your spot at http://pong.uwstout.edu/alp/

Hope to see you there!

I also updated the pictures from the Forever-A-LAN so check it out if you haven’t already.

I just wanted to let everyone know there will be a meeting for PONG Tuesday the 12th at 8:00pm to 10:00pm in the willow/walnut room at the MSC.

Come voice your opinions and give us feedback about our last LAN and any improvements we can make to our events.

ATTENTION!!!

I just got an e-mail from the UW-Stout Reservation Office.  All damage has been fixed.  Our event will continue as originally scheduled.

Sorry for any confusion (or panic) this may have caused.

ATTENTION!!!

Due to a failure of the sprinkler system in the Memorial Student Center, the PONG Forever A LAN may be delayed anywhere from a few hours to a full day.

Early this morning, a sprinkler head in the MSC Ballrooms failed and opened. Water from this sprinkler head has leaked into the electrical system in the MSC. Because of this, power must be turned off to the entire building so repairs can be made safely.

There is currently no ETA on when these repairs will be completed. Hence why our event may be delayed anywhere from a few hours to over 24 hours.

Please keep an eye on this page, and on the forums, as more information will be posted as it becomes available.
