Eye-catching posters of our upcoming events decorated the stall whilst Golden Key's name in Macquarie's student publication 'Grapeshot' was displayed at the stall's front. By midday Wednesday, all 150 newsletters and every Asia-Pacific GK pamphlet had been distributed to interested students passing by (for a electronic copy of the newsletter, visit our Macquarie GK website).
The dedication of the new Macquarie GK executive kept the stall buzzing up until the last day of Diversity Week. All students and members alike came along with questions or just a general curiousity in GK and were greeted by the fresh and enthusiastic executive members.
To keep the interest going, the stall was the location of our 'Count the Candy' competition, the old-fashioned 'guess the number of lollies in the jar ... to win the jar!' game. After many estimates from passers-by, derived from apparent physics calculations and statistical surface area to volume ratios, it was Agni who walked away with the prize, guessing 2 lollies away from the real number of 422.
In addition to the promotional qualities of our Golden Key stall, the Macquarie executive held an initiative to uphold International Golden Key's goal of helping environmental sustainability: 'Recycling Your Notes'. With a straightforward name in check, the stall saw more than 80 kilograms of paper, and numerous bags of textbooks to recycle and resell. The student bringing in the most paper and textbooks was Edric, winning a $50 Macquarie Centre Voucher and film passes to 'Red Cliff'.
A huge thank you goes out to all the prize winners, participants and volunteers during Diversity Week. With this experience to build on to next year's Diversity Week, Macquarie Golden Key's stall is bound to become bigger and better!
