[LTER-asm2015committee] "Entertainment"

[John Vande Castle]

I think we can surely do these too.  We can also add an announcement on 
the first page of the ASM website.

I also like the volleyball idea, and some "rules are probably good - 
like maybe 6/team (so we have more teams) and perhaps of equal gender 
per each - or something.
