Festivus Party!
Posted on December 9th, 2008 by Sarah
The Festivus pole is used as an alternative to the flashy Christmas tree. Why an aluminum pole? Aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio, of course.
It will be held in State Room East in the IMU, at 8pm. We’ll have cake and games and you’ll have a chance to hang out and say goodbye to all your secular buddies. It’ll be a good time!
We are looking for people to bring games (especially games that will work well with a large group, like Cranium, Apples to Apples, etc.) and maybe a Festivus pole? Please volunteer if you have either of these items. Also, people are welcome to share food. Post what you’re planning on bring in a comment or on the forum.
Background:
If you’ve never heard of Festivus, you can read about it on Wikipedia or watch a short video on YouTube. The holiday was invented by the father of a Seinfeld scriptwriter, who introduced it into popular culture in an episode of the show.

May the Flying Spaghetti Monster bestow blessings on your organization.
As a former IU employee & an alumnus of IU post grad education I am simply delighted to
see that “nones” are now represented ,in an organized fashion, on the IU campus.
I no longer live in B’town so am unable to attend your upcoming festivities in person but do wish all, “REASONS GREETINGS”. ( A term appropriated from the last “BRIGHTS” organization newsletter ).
While unable to join you in person I am waiting to send you a personal check for $25.00 to
be used for cake, pizza or other food of your choice and thus to be with you in spirit.
sincerely,
Dr.k
