With finals coming up, we could all use a study break! In the past, AAGSA has sponsored dim sum study breaks, where we bring the dim sum to you. This quarter, with the holidays approaching, we thought we'd also open the event to charitable donations.
In support of our local communities' needs, we will be collecting donations for Second Harvest Food Bank. Any cash or canned food donations are welcome! Think of it as food (your donations) for food (dim sum) and a good cause!
So put down those books, pick up your appetite, and head on down to the GCC for a dim sum lunch on us -- but don't forget to bring your donations!
When: Sun, Dec 6, 12pm
Where: GCC Havana Room (1st floor)
From Second Harvest: Because we operate so efficiently, we can provide 2 nutritious meals for every $1 donated. Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcome. Most needed items are: meals in a can (stew, chili, soup), tuna/canned meat, peanut butter, canned foods with pop-top lids, low sugar cereals, 100% fruit juices in single serving boxes, canned fruit packed in its own juice, and low salt canned vegetables. Please do not donate items packaged in glass or bulk quantities of rice, flour, or sugar.
The Asian American Graduate Student Association invites you to our annual karaoke party! Your favorite tunes will be available, so come sing to your heart's content and show off that hidden American Idol talent. We will try to have a selection of both English and Asian songs, but feel free to bring your own discs if you have them!
Tasty snacks and drinks will be provided to keep you going all night long!!
Where: Timoshenko Lounge, by Rains 230
When: Fri, Nov 13, 8pm - midnight
Hope to see you there!
