B U F S Amazing! READ ME! DO IT! Do It.

Good Morrow Everyone,

We hope that midterms have not been too bad yet and hey spring break is only a week and a half away.  Boys gone wild!

Now for the good shtuff. (in order of appearance)

It is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.

In lieu of regular family dinner we will be having family dinner at the Howard Thurman Center, and will be watching a short film entitled "Silent Sacrifices" a story about Filipino-American culture.  Afterwards we will have a discussion, just so we can have some SUBSTANCE, for our family dinner.  And by substance I mean FREE PIZZA! But no really this will be a good time to get together and really talk about something we can all relate to.  SO 630 HOWARD THURMAN CENTER TOMORROW!

GGGGGGawad Kalinga

This THURSDAY we will be honored by having Tony Meloto come to Boston University and speak to us.  Mr. Meloto is the founder of GK BUFSA's service project where people build character and communities for themselves. He is an amzaing man that started this great organization to bring hope and light to those who need it. It is this THURSDAY from 5-630 at the GSU conferance auditorium on the second floor.

BUFSA has got talent!

Save the date on MAR 20 BUFSA and possibly D1 will be holding a talent show.  So if you have some moves, some music anything please shoot us an email so we can showcase your amazingness.

EEEEEEEHSAHHHHHH! THE WORLD IS AMAZING!

Remember our cultural show is on APRIL 18th so save the date.  If you want to help out, and please you are encouraged to, please join our various ISA committees.

PRODUCTIONS/SCRIPT

FOOD/DECOR

VOLUNTEERS

Help out the club and have some fun by joining a committee.

DANCE PRACTICE REMINDERS

If you signed up for a dance please be at the assigned time and place on time.  

Stand by for an email from our DC's about practice this weekend.  

 Also it is a REQUIREMENT for everyone to dance a traditional dance if you want to dance a modern (No exceptions) there are a lot of great traditional dances we are having so please sign up for one by contacting the DC's.  

Last thing STICK DUTY, yes it sucks, but we have all done it, actually we haven't because people are not doing it.  Think of it as a right of passage for FSA dance dance, because everyone that has come before you has one time or another had to awkwardly carry the sticks to practice. So please if you are assigned do not forget.

T-SHIRTS

As customary we will be making T-shirts for ISA, and the design is open to the club so if you got some skillz making T's (or belly shirts) send us your design.

ITNRAMRUALS! <--(Interesting fact: the brain reads words as a whole not by letter so as long as you keep the first and last letters the same you can still easily read the scrambled word, tahts cazry rhigt!)

LBFW won their last basketball game last night, thanks to stellar playing and amazing coaching!  Our next basketball game is MAR 2 at 9PM, so if you want to cheer us on to victory, it is at FITREC 2nd Floor.

SOFTBALL(s) is starting and our first game is Mar 5 at 630 at Nickerson Field.  We welcome anyone to come and play because we could always use them.  So if you are interested shoot us an email and get ready to get big.

YO WRAP IT UP B!

SPECIAL FAM DIN DIN: "Silent Sacrifices"  Howard Thurman Center 630 THIS WEDNESDAY!

TONY MELOTO SPEAKING: GSU conference auditorium 5PM THIS THURSDAY!

TALENT SHOW: Got skills? Let us know!

GOODIES GOODIES, FSA GOODIES

Good Afternoon Boofs!

We are officially three weeks deep into ISA practices and things are just getting warmed up! In addition to an amazing lineup of traditional and modern dances this week, we've also created an official BUFSA Youtube channel! We uploaded some of the dances (and are in the process of uploading the rest) so if you happened to miss a practice or want to practice on your own, now you can see them all online! To keep our sets a surprise for ISA, we made them private (we can't share videos privately with more than 25 people, boo) but if you text/email/call/stalk us we'll gladly give you the password.

http://www.youtube.com/user/boofsa

IF YOU'RE ON YOUTUBE, FRIEND US! :)

BUFSA News and Updates: Adorable Style =D

Hoy Pan De Sals,

Guess who? On behalf of the e-board, I want to thank all of you who had come to the first ISA practice yesterday. It was so great to see all of you guys having fun and taking an interest not only in Filipino Culture, but also in one of BUFSA's biggest events. Props to the newbies especially- welcome to the club!

Now let's get down to the business:

Item #1: ISA

• Practice: Want to be part of the performance? Well you still can you silly pan! Just contact the dance coordinators (Christian and Auburn) and come to one of our practices. Practices for traditional dances and modern dances are held during the weekend. Be sure to check your emails later in the week to find out when and where this weekend's practices will be held. Do it!
• Committees: Can't get enough of BOOFSA or ISA? Well here's the chance to be part of what goes on behind the scenes. Now YOU have the opportunity to work with some of the e-board members in any of the committees listed below:
• Productions/Script: Juan, Carlo, Tim

Contact Juan for more information about our intramural sports this semester.  It's lots of fun. Do it!

Item #3: JSA Eating Contest

• Say What?: FSA plans to participate in the contest. To enter, simply get into teams of 5 people. Each team will eat through rounds of food form different ethnic groups. It only cost $10 to register a team (so $2 for each individual). Do it!
  

Item #4: Family Dinner!

• This week's family dinner will be held in Warren Towers. Remember, Family Dinner is every Wednesday, 6:30 P.M.

Sorry if I forgot to put anything else e-board xD

Plenty of FSA Love to Go Around

Happy February!

Thank you to everyone who made it to our Welcome Back General Meeting last Friday!  Eboard was delighted to see all the many new and old faces! Hopefully you learned some new things about you FamilySA (besides how SIckNasttyyy we are) and that you also took with you some good memories with friends ("single ladies, pelvic thrust, shimmy down, egyptian!").

Speaking of dance moves, if you were not able to attend the ISA Dance Showcase on Saturday to sign up for dances and would like to dance with FSA, just keep a look out for emails from your booty bumpin DCs (Rivs & Zurn) about upcoming dance practice this weekend! Come to any dance practice and let DC's know what dances you would like to sign up for. And as always, dance practice is silly fun, but also worth all the hard work you put into it to put on an amazing show!

So! make sure you save the date for ISA: The World Is One! – Sat, April 18th @ Tsai Performance Center.
Also if anyone is interested in being part of the planning of ISA, there will a couple planning committees headed by eboard members. Let us know if you would be interested and we'll give you the LowDown (yA hEaRd?!!).

Can't get enough FSA lovin? Well there's plenty of FSA love to go around. So much in fact that we would like to extend this year's love auction to include our neighboring D1 schools, NU Barkada and PSBC. Get excited for this one of a kind D1 mixer coming up this Feb!
(By the way, wasn't PSBC's Show Amazing!  That's D1 Love Right Thurrr.)

Also, show love for your fellow FSA peeps in the upcoming Vibes Show!
Sat. Feb 7- Vibes presents Acceler8 (Hawtttness)!

Finally (saving the best for last because we all know food is the easiest way to a wo/man's heart), this week's Family Dinner will be at the GSU Backcourt at 6:30pm. See you all there!

It may also be worth noting that on Weds Feb 25^th there will be a SPECIAL family dinner and a short movie showing at the Howard Thurman Center called "Silent Sacrifices".  This inspirational movie is meant to create a dialogue within the club about Filipino-related topics and create conversation about cultural experiences in general . In addition, FSA eboard will be providing free pizza! Be sure to save the date for dinner and a movie with FSA!
