Capture the Flag!!
Thank you to everyone who came out last week to the epic broomball battle! All the slipping and sliding and amazing falls! There were many great plays which earned goals all around!

Come out and take part in this classic game with Chinese Association. In the darkness of the night you shall utilize each of your senses as you and your team struggle to obtain each of the flags located on the opposite sides of the field. You will each have illuminating devices attached to you to serve as visible targets to your enemies, and you will also be surrounded by glowing barriers ensuring you stay within bounds. Strategically work with your teammates for the best play to steal the flags and gain complete victory for your team. Good luck! Check out our facebook event page here for more info!

APAAC
This year marks the 25th annual Asian Pacific American Awareness Conference (APAAC) -- an enormous milestone. This is a day-long event devoted to addressing the issues and redressing the questions raised in contemporary social America.
Last year they had guest speakers suck as Perry Shen. He gave an excellent perspective about Asian Americans in Hollywood, and the stereotypical barriers that exist to this day.
Come out January 16th as for the 25th annual APAAC. This year's theme, (A-Z)Nomics: the Miseducation of Asian Americans, focuses on how the Asian mythos came into being, and how it is currently being worked. Everything you need to know, from A to Z.
Plus, free food and lots of it. :D
