Coordinator:
Isadore Tarantino (Izzy@ucsdpass.org)
Friday,
February 6th, 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Hey there
PASS members!!! What better way to celebrate the wonderful snow white winter
with going ice skating!! This social will consist of ice skating at the UTC
mall. Skating will begin at 7:30pm and end at 10pm. We will be
carpooling so anyone who is willing to drive, please email me ahead of time to
set you up and you WILL be reimbursed per miles driven. We will be
meeting in the parking lot by the sungod statue at UCSD at 7pm sharp! After the
social is over, drivers will drive their people back to the same parking lot as
to where we left off from. So start stretching and get those heavy
sweaters ready because this is going to be the ice skating social of the
YEAR!!!
STUDY CRAM!!!
Coordinator:
Isadore Tarantino (izzy@ucsdpass.org)
Saturday,
March 14th, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Finals
are just a few days from
this date
and I am giving everyone the opportunity to earn social points for STUDYING!!
That’s right, you read it correctly, social points for studying! Come on down
to UCSD campus and get your studying on before those darn Finals. Enjoy a
great morning of cramming in those last few hours of reading inside the
Biomedical library at UCSD before the big tests. The great thing
about this social is that there will be other PASS members there that I bet are
even in those same horrible/dreadful classes that you are taking. This
means that is not only a social but a free group study session if needed.
Feel free to come and study for an hour, grab a bite to eat and head on back to
some more terrific studying!
PROJECTS
NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP
Coordinator
Phildrich Teh (pteh@ucsd.edu)
Saturday,
February 7th, 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
The
Harris Fire Recovery
Center has given PASS a
great opportunity to help those who lost their homes due to the 2007 wildfire
crisis. This project would require PASS members to clear brush around the homes
of those victims that are too old and poor to do the cleanup by themselves.
Most of the fire victims have been waiting for over a year to move in and
perhaps would never do so if no one helps. Furthermore, insurances will
withdraw their homes and the county can issue hefty fines of up to
$3,000. Come out and make a difference! We will meet at Sungod and please
email me if you are interested. Rides will be provided and anyone who volunteers
to drive will be reimbursed. Remember that these people are counting on you so
don’t miss out!
