Queer Pin@y Conference 2009
Bowl4GK 2009
Upcoming SCPASA Events
Hello SCPASA!

**********************************************************************************************************

As the Co-Chairs of Queer Pin@y Conference 2009 (pronounced Queer Pinay/Pinoy Conference), we – Jason Tengco and Ruth Mendez – would like to invite you to QPC 2009 at UCLA hosted by Samahang Pilipino on Saturday, November 21!

With this year being the 10 year anniversary since the first QPC in 1999 founded at UCLA titled “On the Verge,” we believe it is crucial to incorporate the original outcomes of QPC 1999 and to see how far we as a queer pin@y community have come since then. Therefore, we are very excited to announce the theme for QPC 2009: “Bring It Back.”

The theme “Bring It Back” has a double meaning. The first is to “bring the conference back” to its origins and roots and to parallel the topics that QPC 1999 addressed. The second meaning of the theme calls participants to action in order to “bring back the knowledge” we learn from the conference to implement queer consciousness in our communities, and more tangibly the respective spaces that conference participants are involved in.

Lastly, with November also being the 1 year anniversary since the passage of Proposition 8 in California, QPC seeks not only to educate and empower its participants surrounding marriage equality, but strives for them to see the queer movement as one that is beyond ourselves in solidarity with all communities. Thus, we invite and warmly welcome people of all backgrounds.

We hope to see you there!

In solidarity,
Jason Tengco and Ruth Mendez

Bowl4GK 2009

“Bowl 4 GK is back in action!! Love to bowl?!? Anyone 18-30 years old can participate in the tournament! Build a team of 4 (at least one female) and bowl to make a difference in someone’s life! =D

——————————————-

Many of you have heard about the devastating aftermath that the typhoons have left in the Philippines, as well as the surrounding areas of Southeast Asia. As a nation already struggling with poverty, these typhoons have left many with nothing. This year, Bowl 4 GK is focusing on providing aid for our brothers and sisters back home. We will be collecting any type of relief items, canned goods, medicine, clothing, and/or monetary donations.

First of all thank all of you that came out to a very successful Presidents’ dinner! Nothing like Korean BBQ for $9.99 and great company (:

With Board Games is just around the corner, have you registered your school yet? SCPASA just has a couple questions and reminders for all of you.

 **Please bring your FPAC ticket money, ticket order form, and unused tickets to board games. Otherwise, you will be responsible to pay for the tickets that were issued to you.

**If you have TABLES, CANOPIES, COOLERS, FIREWOOD, please please PLEASE bring them to board games! We have limited spaces in our cars, and Dockweiller Beach does not have picnic areas for us. So if you could please bring tables and canopies (especially) it would be greatly appreciated.

When you complete the survey for your appropriate school, and you get to the question that asks you what you will be bringing, please add canopy/table/firewood/etc in addition to your designated dish– if you can provide it for that day (:

pleeaaaseee.. we really need them!

**Speaking of survey.. Don’t forget to register your school!

Can’t wait to see you all at Board Games! It’s going to be awesome!!

From all of us @SCPASA (:

Also, if your org has a website, please send us the link! Our sidebar is empty and we would love to share your website with our friends too. Get your name out there! This is your org! ! (:

SCPASA Presidents’ Dinner
Friday, August 14 7:30 pm

This is reserved for the president and their corresponding SCPASA representative. (Sorry, we would love to have you all, but I don’t think they would be able to fit us all at one table (: )

Please check your email and fill out the attached FPAC ticket order form, and bring it to dinner. If you have not received the email, please contact us  at socalpasa@gmail.com
