Hey guys! We're back for the new year, and boy do we have an exciting quarter.  We had a quick meeting last night, going over the agenda for the winter quarter.

Things to expect this quarter:

-Culture Night. We're going to be starting practices soon. Tonight, the 7th at 8 will be our first culture night meeting. Please come by to receive your roles.  Even if you haven't signed up yet and you still want to participate, just come in and we'll find something for you!

-CHF. Chinese Heritage Festival is an annual gathering of the Universities of socal, such as UCLA, UCI, UCLA, UCSD, & USC, to hang out with them and to compete in certain games, such as tug-a-war, balloon stomp, dodgeball, and etc.  There's also an exhibition of the dance crews from each school, which includes our fabulous EVO.  Tune in for more info on the event.  I believe it takes place at UCLA this year.

-Winter Retreat. For the first time ever, we're allowing our members to come with us to Big Bear for the 3 day weekend! From the 16-19th we'll be heading over to the snowy region, making snowmen, snowboarding (not me of course, since I left all my stuff in norcal).  It'll be a great time to get to know you guys, and what better way than to enjoy a nice coozy cabin, eating a potluck in the winter cold? Let a staff member know if you're interested, because spaces are limited (unless we find more drivers!!!)

-Membership. Time to get your membership cards! They're 15 dollars, but you also get a cool t-shirt AND discounts to many resturants around the area, such as university cafe, life cafe, boba cafe, pho express.

 -Chinese New Year clubbing event.  Come by and dance the night away, while enjoying a great dance from EVO
