Hi Andrew,
I did not know that you were at Wash U. Cool. I was a Saint Louis native,
although I have been living in Illinois for 10 years now. (My Mom lives
about 3 blocks from your campus) I am actually forming a Registered Student
Organization at my college:
University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign LEGO Club - UIUCLC
Several of my friends and I plan to meet once a month to discuss and build.
We are getting an event kit to use from Jake. I would register your
organization, get a website, grab your friends, and place an ad in the
student newspaper. I still need to do some of that stuff. Plus certain
programs, like engineering use mindstorms, and would probably like to join.
I am president of another organization and hope to do similar advertising to
start the LEGO Club.
I think working with the Gateway Lug and road show would be a good idea for
you. I might try to attend the STL one. Feel free to email me if you have
any questions - I think we are the first ones trying to form University LEGO
Clubs.
Good Luck.

Ben,
St. Louis represent! Anywho, thanks for the reply. I’ve probably run into your
mom at Schnucks or Bread Co. at some point (pumpkin muffins...yummmm).
Meeting with friends to discuss building ideas sounds good but I didn’t know of
anyone who brought some of their collection with them during my first two years
here. I have an ISD with me this time around (silly pillows took up precious
LEGO plastic storage space). I guess we could agree on investing in some Make &
Create and/or Designer kits or just work on learning MLCAD. I definitely would
like an event kit. Placing an ad in the school paper is also a good idea. I
asked a suitemate just before about any ideas - I had not told him about it yet
- and he sounded excited about the club and liked the name WULUG. I guess
anything without WUSTL written out completely is a plus! I see your school isn’t
easy to work with but at you managed a double palindrome.
It would be cool if you could attend the Roadshow. At the first meeting I will
bring up Gateway LUG and the upcoming event.
Alright, let me know how things go.
-Andrew
