Love and romance will be in the air.
And on Feb. 14, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Student Leadership Association (SLA) will fill the basement level of Building 8 with hearts, chocolates and crazy fun.
“The purpose of this event is to create a fun atmosphere on Valentine’s Day, so come share the love with SLA” said Jasmine Rogers, student event planner for SLA. “We are going to have a blast.”
The event is free and open to the public.
DJ Clay Hampton will provide the musical entertainment and two games will be the highlight of the event.
The New Love Game is where couples that are newly in love or old married couples are asked questions about one another.
“If the contestant gets the answer right points are awarded, but if the contestant answers the question wrong, well then the arguing begins among the couples. It’s going to be a hilarious game,” Rogers said.
The Dating Game is a game in which one contestant will be seated on one side of a curtain, and would ask questions to three contestants sitting on the other side of the curtain. The questions are designed to help the main contestant pick which of the three he or she would like to go on a date with.
While the contestants in these games are confidential, Rogers said “students, faculty and staff have to come to the event to find out who the participants are.”
Chocolate kiss roses, mini teddy bears, candy and gift bags will be on sale during the event.
“Some very affordable, but equally precious Valentine’s gifts will be on sale,” Rogers said.
Before the Valentine’s Day event, Ashley Russell, a representative for the American Cancer Society will be presented with a $630 check.
The money that will be presented to Russell was raised during the National Breast Cancer Awareness event on Oct. 5. SLA along with Admissions, Marketing and the Athletic Department, worked together to raise the money.
“All the departments worked very hard to come up with this donation, and it is our greatest pleasure and honor to present the American Cancer Society this check,” Rogers said.
During the Valentine’s event, a variety of clubs will have tables and students will be able to receive information about prospective clubs, and also get to see what kind of clubs Sinclair has to offer.
“We are planning for this event to be big and awesome,” Rogers said. “It is a way to bring students together, and I hope to see many new faces.”
