The Oklahoma City Java Users Group is totally dependent on sponsors to cover the expenses for a place to meet, the food that is provided to attendees, and door prizes. So, we are always on the lookout for new sponsors to help share the load.

What does it take to sponsor a meeting? 

These costs are divided as follows:

Room

Our meetings are held at the University of Phoenix (which can be found on our map):

University of Phoenix
6501N Broadway Ext
Oklahoma City, OK

The cost for the rooms is $75, and covers both the lunch and evening sessions. 

Food and Drinks

For the lunch meetings, we have typically had pizza or sandwiches delivered. (suggested pizza types: Hawaiian, Pepperoni, Ham/Canadian Bacon and Vegetable/Vegetarian) to be delivered to the room address above at 6:30pm.

We also usually have water and 2-liter sodas (for example, Pepsi, Diet-Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mug, and Sierra Mist). 

We do have some members with strict vegetarian requirements, so we respectfully request that that be taken into account when ordering food, but, beyond that, the sponsor has total discretion as to what to order and from where.

The cost for lunch food & drinks is about  $150 to $200, We are not asking for the sponsor to provide food or drinks for the evening meetings at this time.

Door Prizes 

Typically, sponsors have chosen to offer a door prize, though this is purely optional.  Gift cards to Borders or Barnes and Noble have been very popular. Of course, so have iPods.

Speech 

Finally, as sponsor you get the opportunity to give a quick speech, and tell everyone at the JUG a little about your company, what you do etc.
