Coffee in the Quad: A very informal coffee house event planned for four evenings in the open air to introduce students to OPTAMUS and the Executive Committee. Free coffee and Timbits were offered along with a coupon to receive a free gift just for visiting our office and Student Lounge in Rooms 221 & 222 of the Student Centre.  Naturally, we included our informative literature and good will.

The first Night – Monday – was not suitable for outside living weather wise so we set up by the back door of Oland Hall. Denise Legere, OPTAMUS Treasurer and Wendy Coughlin, Office Administrator, served the coffee and handed out the literature. 

Tuesday Night:  Mary Anne LeBlanc, President of OPTAMUS, Charlene Walsh, Board Member and Wendy Coughlin served the students outside between Irving Hall and Oland Hall.
Wednesday: The table was set up by Hazen Hall and Sandra Hachey, Executive Secretary, and Board Members Tim Cybulski and Frank Hachey and of course, Wendy.

Thursday: The table was set up in the same vicinity of Hazen Hall and Melanie MacFarlane, Board Member, and Wendy presided over the coffee pot. 

 Sandra Hachey and Denise Legere, OPTAMUS Executives, visited us during the evening. 

Students seemed pleased to receive information about OPTAMUS and the services that it provides.
The number of students made aware of OPTAMUS during the four evenings made the event worthwhile. Several students asked if there was any chance of this happening on a regular basis and if we would be doing it again in January. I would like to see something similar at that time but maybe with hot chocolate and Timbits and definitely held inside.
