A message from the President!
Hey OYFA!
Interim elections will be held on October 20th, 12PM @ Maury 209! Last year after Board and Council elections, there were five spots open - Corresponding Secretary, ISIP (2), PR, and Historic - where the positions were filled in last Spring through an interview and application process. OYFA will be holding Interim elections in October to instate interim council members.
So far, the people listed below are running for these respective positions:
Corresponding Secretary: Allan Bagsic
Initiative Studies in Pilipino (ISIP): Angeli Mendoza and Jenny Hodge
Historic: Christine Chen
Public Relations (PR): Katherine Jiang
Anyone can also run during interim
elections, even first years! Email me (cal3tt@virginia.edu) if you would like to be put in the ballot or have any questions about the election process.
Thank you guys for coming out to our events! We have a lot of fun events planned for you all, such as Filipino Food Night and the Lakas 5K, so get excited!
Have a good week and enjoy your Fall Break!
-Camille Lorenzana
PS: Shoutout to the Singkil family!

Hey OYFAmily!
First off, we'd like those of you helped us chalk last Thursday night! It successful and extremely helpful for PR, Historic, Community, and Sports!
Also, we are taking nominations for Date Auction from now until THIS WEDNESDAY (10/9) - this date has changed from what we had originally said. Date Auction will be held on October 22 and we want as many OYFAns as possible to be there to support our nominees, so save that date in your calendars! For anyone who doesn't know, Date Auction is an annual event held by ASU in preparation for ASU Semi-Formal, which will be November 9 this year, to help raise money for a specific charity. Each Asian organization nominates members to show off their talents and be "bought" by someone else as their date for Semi-Formal.
If there is someone you want to nominate please email Nicole (naw4hr) or (dbe5pj) with their name ASAP. Please make sure to only nominate new members! If you are a new member who has been nominated, you will be notified and at that point you can accept or decline your nomination. Once we have the finalized list next WEDNESDAY, the new members will vote!
That's All Folks! Have a great week :)
Love,
Social

Keep an eye out for information about FIND, Dialogue, a day long workshop series that will take place in November, discussing matters that deal with Filipinos and Filipino Americans historically and in today's time. If you wanna learn more about what Dialogue is, come eat DINNER with us at Newcomb on Wednesday, October 9 at 6:00 to FIND out more! If you get there and can't FIND us, text me(Jasmine) at the number (757)619-9229.
Also, we know a lot of you will be participating in Global Expo on November 16; however, FACT @ VCU is holding their annual talent night on November 16 as well, and is extending the opportunity to submit auditions to the rest of D7. If you're interested in auditioning and performing, email one of us, and we'll get you the right information and work out rides over there for you!
