Hope your weekend's were fun, fabulous and filled with lots of FSA lovin'! Props to the Spanish Suite Crew +entourage for throwing it down at the Cambridge Cultural Center this past weekend. You guys looked great out there! Here's the 411 on this week's events.. there's quite a lot happening so be sure to keep up!

The "Everything ISA" Fam Din: Family dinner will be held on Wednesday, April 1st in the Howard Thurman Center from 7-9pm. Grab some food then come downstairs to hang with us!

Other importante information that might come in handy will be shared as well. After the ISA presentation, committee meetings for those of you who expressed interest in helping Eboard out, or for those of you who wanted to find out more about how you can help will take place. Join the Facebook event, it's coming.

Ad Journal Extension: Time to make this ISA a little more memorable! Ask your family and friends to place an ad for you in this year's ad journal (think of it as a really huge program). This is perfect for big/little loving, seniors, classes (2012, 2011, 010, 09!) friends and family love. We've extended the date for the deadline to Tuesday, April 7th. The form is attached, so be sure to make your order and send it to Rivs at r1vera26@bu.edu. DO IT PEOPLE, MAKE THOSE MEMORIES. WORK THOSE UP-DOs!

Gettin' Busy on A Boat
: We hope everyone was able to reserve their tickets for an event we've all be waiting for: The D1 Soysal! oW oW! In order to get a hold of your reserved ticket you must bring your $25 to Family Dinner (or find Justine and give the money to her). She has the tickets and you will only be given your ticket once you pay. Remember, it's $25/ticket and an additional $15 for those of us who are 21+ and will be enjoying the comforts of an open bar. OPEN BAR! Time to roll deep and look hot. We all love boats, just ask T-Pain. Boarding time is at Friday, April 3rd at 8:30pm so be there or don't be there. The boat will leave without you, even if you have a ticket. SUCKS! Here's the facebook link for more information: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?success=1&id=922845#/event.php?eid=74645571116&ref=ts

FSA does Good with Relay for Life: Join FSA's team in the right against cancer! We'll be up all night walking the track, eating food, beating Barkada at tug-of-war and raising money to make a difference in people's lives. Relay for Life is the American Cancer Society's overnight inspirational event that honors survivors, caregivers, and those lost to the disease. It's also a fundraiser. It takes money for the American Cancer Society to do all it does -- fund cutting-edge cancer research, provide support programs, educate the public on ways to reduce their cancer risk, and advocate for laws that help reduce cancer incidence and guarantee screenings and cancer treatments for the less well off. Teams of people from around the area camp out at these events and take turns walking or running around the track, with one representative from each team on the track at all times during the night. Relay for Life will be held on Friday, April 10th and go into the morning of Saturday, April 11th. It will be held at Harvard's Indoor track. Keep a look out for FSA's Facebook event for more information on what to do and how to register. It's gonna be a lot of fun, so we hope you can join us!
