[Assk] Questions: DC Trip

[Mike Schneider]

Hi all,

As some of you know Art Club and the Art Department are working on the 
possibility of taking a trip to Washington DC in the Spring. Through talks 
with people it's decided we'll be shooting for the time frame during the 
cherry blossom festival on a weekend leaving Friday and returning Sunday.

This means one of these three weekend:
March 30th - April 1st
April 6th - April 8th
April 13th - April 15th

We're hoping for the weekend of April 13-15 because there is a parade and 
Japanese street faire on the 14th and the closing ceremonies in the morning 
on the 15th... which would provide events and festivities to engage in when 
not in the museums.

We have not done a trip of this size before and so we need feedback from as 
many of you as possible in order to make this happen.

Please Answer these questions as completely as you feel comfortable. You do 
not need to answer all questions however the more information you can 
provide us the better we can survey the situation. Your information is 
confidential.

13th?

2) If we have the trip on the weekend of the 13th, what odds would you give 
that you'd be willing/ able to go?

3) How much would you be willing to pay to go in this trip?
(We plan on fundraising etc... this is simply to estimate how much fund 
raising is required to result in the greatest number of people being able to 
go.)

club members would you?
    b) If their cost was not subsidized would you still wish to bring them?

    c) Do you have religious, moralistic, or personal issues regarding co-ed 
rooms?
    d) Would you prefer to share the room with the same sex, co-ed, or it 
doesn't matter?
    e) Do you smoke? Would you be smoking indoors?
    f ) Are you a morning person or a night person?

6) If more fund raising meant that the trip would be cheaper/ free, how much 
fund raising would you be interested in doing?

7) a) Would you be willing in helping write grant proposals?
    b) Do you have any experience writing grant proposals?

9) There are consent issues which arise when leaving the state with someone 
who is legally a minor.
    a) Are you over 18? Will you be by April 12th?
    b) If not would your parent/ guardian be willing to sign a permission 
slip.

If you can answer those questions and get back to me as soon as you can that 
would help to get the ball rolling.
