On February 22nd, 1997, VSA delighted the community with their culture show entitled "This Spring We Have Each Other" (Xuan Nay Ta Co Nhau). The show brought audiences of different ages and nationalities together to share in the beautiful Vietnamese heritage, including the traditional dress and customs of Vietnam.

Naughty Nick's Nite


We had a little gathering at Naughty Nicks to have fun and get to each other a little more.
Pizza and pool makes socializing more fun.

Cuong's Shot

At times, a friendly game becomes a grueling match of wits and skills... but as the dust settles and emotions calm a game is just that, a game. What a way to make friends!

Khom "câu cua"

It was an awesome bonding experience for new and old members alike. Just look at the great smiles in these photos... Crabbing is so much fun, especially when you actually catch crabs!!!

 

Diversity Week '97

Look at our great volunteers...they sure got more than they had bargained for. And then again there is not much bargaining when you're an officer. If you don't do it, who else will? In this case, they wished that someone else was in their place!!!

 

Tet Trung Thu - 96

The Full Moon Festival (Tet Trung Thu) was a large turn out. At night we had everyone carry a lantern and walked around the campus. Oh yeah, we also had a best lantern contest. Who ever made the best looking lantern that worked (not like the one that burned) won themselves some traditional moon cake.
