Just look at the dates summary at the bottom of the previous email. For some reason, I thought Saturday was Jan. 28th when it clearly is not :) My bad!

SPRING-SPRANG WITH BUFSA

Greetings Boofs!

Way to kick off the new year right! Big props to everybody who attended the GK Dance-A-Thon this past Saturday and of course the massive heads at family dinner. But get ready kiddos, this semester will be even bigger/huger/that'swhatshesaid than the last! Let's get down to the details:

Item #1: LITTLE BROWN FILIPINO WARRIORS, GAME 1
Still riding high off the volleyball championship title last year (and the best effort award for football) the Little Browns look to strike again this semester at intramural basketball! First game is today, Monday, Jan. 26th at Fitrec @ 8 pm, so whether you're interested in playing (special shout-out to the female ballers!) or coming to cheer for your all-stars, contact Capt. Juan "The Don" Castro at jucastro@bu.edu for all the nitty-gritty.

Item #2: SPRING EXPO
Curious about the club? Anxious to know about everything we have planned this semester? Want to watch us perform Pandaango? Stop by our table at the Spring Expo this Tuesday, Jan. 27th at the GSU Metcalf Ballroom (located on the 2nd floor) from 3-7 pm

Item #3: FIRST GENERAL MEETING OF THE SPRING
If you loved last semester's first general meeting of the semester, get ready for this one! Join us this Friday, Jan. 30th at 1019 Babcock Street @ 7 pm to learn more about upcoming events, reconnect with old faces, and have fun with new ones. More games, more videos, more free sweatshirts!

Item #4: ISA "THE WORLD IS ONE" SHOWCASE
Our biggest cultural show of the year, ISA: "The World is One," is fast approaching in April. Are you going to be in it? You better be! We have an extraordinary line-up of traditional and modern dances just your size. Come check them out at the ISA Showcase this Saturday, Jan. 28th at the GSU Alley @ 1 pm sharp (located in the basement level by BU Central) and sign-up if you didn't get a chance to at the General Meeting! Questions? Hit up your Dance Coords, Rivs at r1vera26@bu.edu and Auburn at ausanto@bu.edu.

Item #5: PSBC SHOW
Boston College is hosting their 17th annual culture show this Saturday, January 28th @ 7:30 pm. Come out and see what PSBC has to offer! Contact any eboard member for more details.

So, let's summarize;

1. Intramural Basketball Game - Monday, Jan. 26th at Fitrec @ 8 pm
2. Spring Expo - Tuesday, Jan. 27th at Metcalf Ballroom @ 3-7 pm
3. Spring First General Meeting - Friday, Jan. 30th at 1019 Babcock @ 7 pm
4. ISA Showcase - Saturday, Jan. 31st at GSU Alley @ 1 pm
5. PSBC Show - Saturday, Jan. 31st at BC @ 7:30 pm.

It's been great seeing all your beautiful faces after a whole month away from each other, and we can't wait to spent another whole semester with you guys. The point is we love you, basically :) Okay, that's it. Have a great week!

Until Next Week's Email, 
Your Eboard

THIS WEEK'S DOSE OF BUFSA CRAZINESS!

Someone once said the subject heading of an email will either deter or encourage someone to open an email. LIKE DUH? Anyway, I hope it did the latter because I made a rhyme, ergo I am cool. Moving forward, welcome back and happy 2009 BUFSA! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend and that your week is off to a great start. Here's what you need to know, yo:

* Family dinner - Wednesday, January 21st
We all need to eat, so why not do it together?! This week,we invade Warren Towers! Meet past the guard booth by the couches at 6:30 or look for us in the Dining Hall. Guest meals are always appreciated for your fellow friends that live off-campus.

* Barkada's GK Dance-a-thon - Saturday, January 24th
Northeastern's Barkada is having a dance marathon to benefit the Gawad Kalinga (GK) organization this Saturday. Sign-in begins at 2:30 and the event will being at 3pm. We hope that you will join Team BUFSA in supporting Barkada and their service project. Your attendance and any donation you can make on Saturday will help raise money for a non-profit foundation that strives to alleviate poverty and poor living conditions in the Philippines and other countries.Plus we'll get to booty bump and that will be funzo.
FUN FACT: Join Team BUFSA beforehand to prep for the event! Meet at the Student Activities Center (1 University Road across from the GSU Backcourt) to decorate t-shirts, have lunch and hang out with friends then head over to NU's event together via public transportation. We'll be in the Delaware Room on the 3rd floor of SAO (right by the dance studio) For those of you who don't want to decorate a t-shirt, please rock any FSA gear if you have it. We'll be leaving for Northeastern at 2PM so make sure you're at the SAC by then! If there are any questions, let your Eboard know.

* UNO's Fundraiser for Asian Studies Initiative
The following announcement is from Carlos Lu: We at the Asian Studies Initiative seek to help provide opportunities for students of BU (and by extension the greater Boston Area) to learn more about Asian Cultures. Through our "Tea Time" talks with professors, cross-cultural events, and educational conferences we hope to give students the chance to pursue careers in the growing economy of the Asian world. Unfortunately we cannot do any of these without funding. To that end we are holding a "Dough Raiser" at Uno's this Thursday, January 18th, all day. All you need to do is show up with one of our fliers, available all over campus at at our Facebook event located below and order a meal. Simple as that, Uno's will handle the rest.Please, come join us for a good time with good food. The ASIABU E-Board staff will be having a group dinner at 6:30 that night, so feel free to join us to learn more about our organization!
