Liga Minutes

September 18

Here's what's coming up:

The Main Events:

Nov 19- Variasians- This annual celebration of Asian cultures features dances, slideshows and a fashion show put on by many of the cultural orgs on campus. Aileen Suzara (recently returned from UH Manoa where she studied ethnomusicology) will be teaching a dance which all Liga members are invited to join. Rehersals start soon, so come to Thursday's meeting at 6pm in Blanchard computer room/ student lounge to sign up.

Spring semester- Fiesta Filipina! (formerly known as Fiesta Night) This year we are going to make it bigger and better than ever. Slide shows, dances, tinikling, cultural awareness tabling, karaoke, maybe some a capella, and of course FOOD.

"Dinner and a movie" nights- This is Liga's favorite past time. We cook, converse, and can watch movies. Coming soon to an Ace House near you...

We are also working on bringing Filipino performing artists to MHC and the 5 college community, as well as screening Filipino-American movies.

Ideas for fundraisers:
*******************
-Hawaii Night- December 10: sell filipino snacks and/or crafts (always a hit)

-Rent-a-spa: a team of Liga women will provide massage, pedicure, and enchanting song for a small fee

-Sell Filipino jewelry

-Hold a tag sale

-Cook and sell food in the Ace House

-Have a 5-college par-tay in an out-of-the-way sunroom: sell mixed drinks and ambiance.

-Scratch ticket fundraiser: Giselle (our co-treasurer) is looking into this for us. A good way to raise some funds.

At *Thursday's meeting* (6pm-Blanchard computer/student lounge room) we will make a calendar of the events that YOU want to see happen, so be sure to come and help make decisions about Liga's Best Semester Yet!
