Welcome back to school! Hopefully you are all caught up on rest as we dive into this next semester. To start the semester off, TASA will be worknig with the Filipino Student Association - Atlanta, Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity Inc., Sigma Sigma Rho Sorority Inc., Society of Step, and the Turkish Student Organization at Yes, that's tomorrow!! Sorry for the late notice but hopefully you'll still make it! There will be a free throw shooting contest, a competition to build the Taipei 101 out of marshmallows and toothpicks, and a Filipino food eating contest! There will also be bubble tea, crackers, and Filipino snacks! However, the weather tomorrow evening will be around the lower thirties and upper twenties so dress warmly!!
If you just can't make it for some reason (you have jetlag or you are deathly afraid of the cold or because you are still in denial that school has started ...), you can look forward to our first major event of the semester There will, of course, be more bubble tea! And we'll also be playing more ice-breaker games. Do come because it'll be fun! Just a sneak preview of what's to come this semester -- Chinese New Year at the CCC, ITASA at MIT, Island Night, officer elections, Night Market, Relay for Life, and much, much more! We'll see you tomorrow! |
