AAA General Meet and EAT!

Hi AAA’ers!

This week we’re just going to take it easy and have some fun at the Farmer’s Market! Come meet us at the usual place and time — Hunt 1150 @ 6pm — so that we can all walk downtown together. Take this chance to get to know each other better (and get to know us better!). It’s suggested that you bring some cash and sunglasses. Let’s chill out on the lawn, listen to some folk music, and fill our stomachs with some good ol’ local chow!

Also, we’re having a social in Sacramento this Saturday, the 19th! So last week we practiced our singing, this weekend let’s apply it! We plan to go karaoke :D

• Meet at the MU tennis courts, 7pm
• Dinner at Shoki Ramen II
• Karaoke at Blue Moon
• Please respond to this email if you intend to go so that we can figure out rides :)

And don’t forget: APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE FOR NEXT YEAR’S CABINET! Apply today! 

• If you are interested in helping restructure AAA to play a larger role in bringing our API community together and provide support to the entire API community including but not limited to APATH, APILR, APCN, APCW and cultural graduations, please apply!
• Deadline has been extended! Please submit by Friday, the 18th!

Lastly, this week marks the last week of AAA Film Fest. The line up is so engaging, I’m so excited! :D

• Tuesday, Tales of the Waria
• Wednesday, One Big Hapa Family
• Thursday, The Crumbles
• Watch all trailers here & all showings are @ 7pm, Chem 194

And one little reminder: we’re holding our annual AAA BBQ @ Slide Park on June 2nd! Details forthcoming, but it will be a pot luck-style event :D We will bring the meats and & buns, of course!

Mah baddd…

Haven’t been updating this blog lately (mah baddd…). Hope y’all had a great Picnic Day! The sweltering heat was a beezy, but it only felt better when it got all breezy (lololol). 

More in-depth update in a jiffy, but in the mean timez, there’s no meeting this week. Instead, we’re holding a workshop on Vincent Chin — AAA presents “VINCENT WHO?”

The workshop — from 7:30 - 9:30pm, at the latest, on Monday 4/23 — is one of the many incredible events happening on campus for APCW — Asian Pacific Culture Week. I’m hella bummed that my midterms are the same week ;______; Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so choosy about which events I’m going to.

But please come out to support us! Love yourself a little, learn a little about the Asian-American historical experience, live a little and take a chance on this workshop. We’re cool, we’re not preaching, y’all, we promise.

7th general AAA meeting!

Hi AAA’ers!

Get ready to get your “groove” on at this week’s meeting!

STEP FORWARD, and get to know more about your amig@s at AAA! But do STEP BACK, to look at the bigger scheme of things and experience a lil’ self-reflection.

Also, we will have an announcement about T-SHIRTS at this week’s meeting! Suffice it to say that they have arrived (HOLLAAA!!)

The cabby will be getting dindin at Hoa Viet after the meeting, and we’d love it if you’ll join us!

Lastly, we’d like to remind you that we’re having HOT POT NIGHT at Lily’s apartment next week in place of a meeting on campus. Please come! Let us get to know you; get to know us… and what better way to do it than over food? Logistical info to be announced at this week’s meeting. PleaseRSVP by Tuesday so that we can estimate a head count.

• WHERE: Wellman 234
• WHAT: AAA General Meeting Numero 7 (Already, amigright?!

—————————————————-

& Around the campus community:

SEAYC volunteer
Southeast Asian Youth Conference is being held this weekend, and they are still in need of volunteers! As a volunteer there will be many tasks to choose from including but not limited to: helping check in the students, setting up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, serving food, guiding students to the right places, prepping for workshops or activities, and running any errands on the day of the conference.

Vote for ASUCD!

Please do not forget to read through the candidates and vote for ASUCD! Get involved in your community by making a difference! ASUCD turnouts affect you (as well as the entire student body) personally — from progressive changes to the seemingly simple upkeep of bathrooms! 

AAA will not try to sway you towards specific candidates (even though we all have our biases) because doing so isn’t morally sound. HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote! It’s simple, easy, and quick.

Voting ends this Friday, so do it soon!

AAA Idol! Ahhh yeeee

Get ready to get your groove on! This week, we’re doing AAA Idol! To all you music aficionados, you got this! After, we’re planning to head over to Chem 194 to watch One Big Hapa Family, courtesy of AAA Film Fest! :D

• The Asian American Association Film Festival aims to project themes of self-identity and assimilation into society through the screening of select independent films that incorporate a wide range of ethnic groups. These films are personally chosen by AAAFF’s officers and serve to display contemporary issues such as racial stereotyping, prejudice, and hardship in America. By screening these films, we hope to raise Asian American awareness of these issues and subsequently expand the APIA community in UC Davis.
• All screenings start at 7pm
• The films are FREE
• Watch trailers & find out what’s showing HERE

Teacher: “I expect you all to do really well on the test on Monday. You have ALL weekend to study.”
