A message from the Corresponding Secretary
Hey OYFA!
I am honored to inform you about
OYFA'S 2013 FALL SYMPOSIUM
Featuring Rex Navaratte: The Premiere Filipino Comedian
November 14 | 7pm | Newcomb Theater
Be sure to save the date because this (FREE) show is going to be AMAZING! Rex Navarette is a Comedian that is well-known in the Filipino Community. Even if you are NOT Filipino, you should still come out because laughter is universal!
One of his reviews states, ""Whether the audience is of Filipino descent or not, Rex Navarette made it a point to not only allow the audience into the vibrant lifestyle that almost all Filipino’s can agree on, but he also explains why it is we live the life we do, allowing others to relate in their own ways as well."
More details to come, but be sure to mark your Calendars on November 14 at 7pm!
Love,
Allan Bagsec

FIND
Hey OYFAns!
So, please remember that we have FIND Dialogue 2013: Makabayan coming up the weekend of November 22-24! However, due to our limited amount of funding for Dialogue, we want to say that we can only take about 20 people to Kean University for this amazing experience. That being said please let us know if you are interested in going! It is imperative that we figure out how many people we need to accommodate as soon as possible, because if there is an overwhelming amount of interest early on, we can work as quickly as possible to allocate additional funding or work something out. Fill out this poll here to receive additional information and we'll get back to you soon!
D7 Love,
Jor(jvt2de) & Jasmine(jap8ew)
