Magandang Gabi OYFA!
I hope you guys are surviving midterms! Just a reminder that we’re collecting any gently used clothes, bags, shoes and accessories and donate them to the OYFA Thrift Store. Your donations will be sold in December at Newcomb and all proceeds will go towards FIND D7. If you have any donations, you are more than welcome to email or facebook message Patricia (pgg3zg) and I’ll work out a time to pick them up from you.
The D7 Executive Board is also currently looking for a National Director Proxy & a PR Chair. No D7 experience is needed. The National Director Proxy’s position is an understudy to the National Directors (NDs), who act as liaisons between D7 and FIND. The Public Relations chair is responsible for handling all social media platforms. He/She is the acting liaison between all District VII member schools for relaying any information including FIND, Inc. events and District VII events.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns!
Much Mahal,
