A Message from Executive Board:
Emergency Relief Fundraising Campaign
Hello OYFAmily!
Thank you to those who have reached out to us regarding Typhoon Haiyan that passed through the Philippines. It is one of the most devastating typhoons that has ever come by the homeland, and we need your help! Exec Board right now is in the planning stages of an emergency fundraising campaign for the typhoon relief so we will let you know as soon as we are ready to release all the details to you all!
To respond to the time-sensitive needs of this disaster, we will be implementing Phase 1 of our campaign within the next few days. This will include a Class Penny Wars, which will be launched soon and will end at the Thanksgiving Potluck on Nov. 24th, so start collecting all of your change NOW! We will also be setting up a donations page on the OYFA website soon, so please help us spread the word! Phase 2 will involve a more long-term fundraising plan so we can contribute to the efforts of rebuilding Leyte, the hardest hit island in the Philippines. Be on the lookout for more information about both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of our relief efforts!
If your loved ones/relatives/family members/friends are affected by this typhoon, please do not hesitate to reach out to us or any of the council/board members if you need someone to console to or just need anything, we are here for you!
Much love,
OYFA Board

ISIP
Dearest OYFAmily,
This past weekend the Philippines was hit by a devastating typhoon, and was recorded as the deadliest in recent history with estimated death tolls are as high as 10,000. Additionally, this number may rise due to a lack of communication in the most heavily devastated areas.
The hardest hit was Leyte, a island in the Visayas region of the Philippines, where many of our own OYFAns have family members. Tacloban, its capital, was hit especially hard; being one of the most densely populated cities in the island.
One small thing you can do is like
TindogTacloban on facebook.
Tindog means to arise, and we hope that with international support, and possibly your contribution, these people can slowly, but surely, rebuild their lives.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Angeli (ame9vk) or Jenny (jnh5ak).
Maraming Mahal,
ISIP

FIND
Hey OYFA!
As some of you may already know, due to some very unfortunate venue-related difficulties, FIND Dialogue 2013 has been canceled. Jasmine and I sincerely apologize to all of those who expressed excitement about going to Dialogue this year, but as we mentioned during the meeting last week, there really is nothing that can be done to salvage the event at this point in time. Please be aware of the fact that FIND Inc. did it's absolute best to try and put together Dialogue this year, and the cancellation of the event rests entirely upon Kean University and their peculiar event booking procedures.
In other news....if you all have yet to pay for your D7 shirts, PLEASE contact myself or Jasmine (jvt2de/jap8ew) so that we can set up a time and place to meet up and collect your money. Jasmine kindly fronted the cash for orders of those who haven't paid yet, so we would really appreciate if you could pay her back promptly.
Thanks, and have an exceptional week, everyone!
