UPCOMING EVENTS

  • ISA Trip: Sea World, San Antonio

Team ISA is planning a trip to Sea World, San Antonio in the coming month. This is the first time that any team has taken the initiative to organize a trip of such magnitude. The trip will be a overnight one and we are striving to make it as comfortable and enjoyable for one and all.

Following are the details.

Departure From Lubbock: 29th Feb 2008 Night.
Sea World: 1st March 2008.
Arrival In Lubbock: 1st March 2008 Night.
Trip Fees: $ 40 per head.

The amount is extremely nominal. We are striving to get the majority of the trip sponsored. The amount of 40 $ includes transportation, motel stay, food and entry to Sea World. The entry to Sea World alone costs $ 45. So the amount of $ 40 for the entire trip is a steal.

There will be a limited seating of 100 people. Seats will be provided on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please RSVP to selvakumaran.senapathy@ttu.edu or ajay.kapare@ttu.edu

We need to get an estimate for the number of people coming before we can finalize the details. So we request interested people to RSVP within the next two days. The decision is with you and the trip will be finalised depending on ur positive response!! So hurry guys!!

If you have already registered, please confirm your registration here
