Gado-Gado Indonesian Students Association of UBC: 2008

November 30, 2008

First Annual Eat S.E.A. Food

This year, GISAU 2008/09 made history.

For the very first time in UBC history, the Gado-Gado Indonesian Students' Association had joined forces with the Kababayan Filipino Students' Association, Seri Malaysia Club, Singapore Raffles Club, Thai Aiyara Club and Vietnamese Students' Society and held the First Annual Eat S.E.A. Food on Tuesday, November 25, 2008. With 300 tickets sold out and a packed venue at Abdul Ladha Science Students' Centre, this event was a HUGE success.

On behalf of the executive team and the organizing committee, I would like to thank all of you who came out and supported the First Annual Eat S.E.A. Food. We hope that this event would become a precursor to further co-operation between cultural clubs at UBC. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

Sincerely,

Joanna Octavia

GISAU President

September Events

GISAU Grand Slam!

September 27, 2008
UBC Tennis Centre
9.30 am - 4 pm

Do you play tennis? Why not show off that mean backhand (and a visor to match) at our annual September tennis tournament! Enjoy what’s left of Vancouver’s sunny days and develop your skills on and off the court as you meet new friends while playing sport. Registration fees are: Single - $10 (member) and $12 (non-member); Double - $16 (member) and $20 (non-member). There will be awesome prizes for our top 2 winners in each category!

The tennis ball giant, Penn, has joined the fight against breast cancer and created the Pink Ball. This optic pink felt, championship quality tennis ball is designed to promote awareness of breast cancer and help provide funds to research a cure. Penn donates a portion of sales from each can of pink tennis balls to breast cancer research. We are using these pink Penn tennis balls for the GISAU Grand Slam! What's better than playing with pink balls all while helping the fight against breast cancer?

Trophies and medals aside, the Penn pink tennis balls are also up for grabs! We are going to have a door prize at the end of the tournament, so come and watch, join, and enjoy this awesome sport competition!

See you there!
