We are still looking for people to sign up for concessions! Like many of you guys know, this is the primary way that we raise money for the He Cares foundation. Right now we are looking for people for the Blake Shelton Concert, so please sign up for that here.
Also sign up for Lakas 5k volunteering! Volunteering positions start at little things like flyering to helping on race day. Lakas is one of our biggest events, so you do not want to miss out! Sign up here!
Remember that every event you sign up for contributes a point towards winning the OYFA Citizenship Award at the end of the year, which is something that you do not want to miss out on. This year we are letting the Big/Little pair with the most points earned through volunteering at these events have a dinner on us at ANY restaurant of your choosing. This is a great way to get a head start on the competition!!
Much love,
Community <3

Happy September and kudos to all for making it through the first week of classes! But now that it is September, we are only a few weeks away from D7 Olympics, the D7 Olympics after party, and the first D7 General Body meeting! All of these events are going to be held on September 28th right here in C'ville, so we hope to see you all there. In addition to all of the Olympics mayhem, Jasmine and I wanted to inform you all of the open PR & Historian D7 Board positions. Please let us know if you're at all interested in any of the positions.
Have a good week, OYFAm and come out to OYFA's First General Meeting this Thursday to find out more about all things FIND, D7, and OYFA!

ISIP
Kamusta, OYFA!
We are so excited for the new year and our new offerings in Filipino culture,history, language, and MORE.
We are Angeli Mendoza, a 4th year Biology major, and Jenny Hodge, a 4th year English major. As ISIP, our job is to introduce you all various aspects of the Philippines, as well as to create a Philippines-based syllabus and look for a professor to teach here at the University.
Over the course of our WIOs, look out for facts and videos to get you interested in the Filipino culture. Feel free to contact us with any suggestions about what YOU want to learn.
Our Weekly fact:
August 27th was National Heroes Day in the Philippines. To commemorate it, Filipinos and Non-Filipinos gathered in Rizal Park to protest Pork (the politics, not the meat).The 'Million People March' symbolized the unified fight against Pork Barrel politics and other forms of corruption. This demonstration was a big step in increasing public awareness and economic reform.
Below are some articles if you want to learn more
