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!
