ASO Events
By Crissi Jclladian
The semester is cdming to an
end and the Armenian Students
Organization (ASO) is provid¬
ing a relaxing weekend of fun to
give students a break before finals.
The trip is at Bass Lake on Decem¬
ber 6.7. and 8'\ Not only din*s this
trip provide students with a break
from the academic atmosphere, but
it allows club members to join to¬
gether one last time before they
head home for the holidays.
Our Halloween parly was the
last event-held and judging from
the results Of the turnout it's some-
thing we'fC going to definitely do

dancing, food, fun. and friends. It
was nice to sec so many new faces
in the crowd and of course the old
(acestoo!! Another IMPORTANT
event coming up is an activity that
will help others enjoy their holiday
season. A SO. has decided to adopt
a family for Christmas that lives at
a low poverty status. The mother of
these eight.kids may have acted
irresponsibly. but her children have
no control over the mistakes their
mother made in the past. To help
make Christmas for these kids an
enjoyable one. please take the time
to go through your belongings and
donate any item that appears to be
fairly new. The amount of time it
will lake to run through your be¬
longings is well worm the eajoy-
ment that diese children will expe¬
rience. Please help us lake part in
making a family's Christmas
brighter.
A.S.O. thanks all members lor
their support and hopes that it will
continue through die upcoming se¬
mesters Once again, wf WEL¬

an opportunity lor the students to
