6.- Contact Rosa Rodriguez at CCSU; she is the sponsor of our activity. Once she separates the room , usually the Connecticut room (see map). It is better if we ask for a day during the first week of JUNE, otherwise awardees might not show up since there is conflict with their graduation. We can ask her for some monetary donation (they usually gives us between 250-500 dollars, to pay against the food bill.
