Hi all, The verdict is in and it seems the majority of people are able to or prefer Wednesday, December 2, 2009 for our meeting in the Cross-Cultural Center Board Room at 12:00 noon. I will prepare an agenda and am open to suggestions for discussion items. Please let me know what you would like to include for the agenda NO LATER than 5:00PM on Monday, December 1. See you on Wednesday.

Best, Floyd

[CORRECTION: Monday is 11/30]

Hi all, Happy Week 9! Also, welcome to those staff members that were able to join us at the recent town hall held in the Dr. Joseph L. White Conference Room. As we discussed briefly afterward, we are looking to reinvigorate AAFSA and look to each of you to potentially share your talent within this organization.

As a start, we will be holding a 1-hour meeting to discuss some ideas for upcoming events (Lunar New Year Dinner/Fundraiser) as well as suggestions for the next step for the association. I cannot recollect what restrictions were shared and so reserved two tentative times during Week 10, both at 12 noon at the Cross-Cultural Center.

Please let me know if you have a preference.

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 Dr. Joseph L. White Conference Room OR
Wednesday, December 2, 2009 Board Room

Best, Floyd
