Week 7: Early Turkey Feast

...without the turkey. But we did have a lot of other yummy food at the potluck tonight! Homemade pumpkin pie, pad thai, mashed potatoes, fruit, "healthful" cookies, etc.~

We ate and talked, talked, and ate some more. Although there were probably enough seats for everybody to sit (despite having to use several as tables for the food), everyone mostly stood in groups and chatted.

We had a guest from the International Peer Group program come check us out tonight, so maybe we'll see more international students at our future meetings!

Thanks for coming out tonight!
There will be no meeting next week due to the Thanksgiving break. See you week 9!

Have a great summer~

Sorry I wasn't able to update everyone on the last 2 weeks.  Hopefully everyone is taking care of their finals well.

Week 9, we had the Duan Wu Jie where we ate Zong Zi and learned new vocabulary to make our own story.  It was a depressing and funny story, but a story nonetheless.

Week 10, we went over to Steelhead's Brewery for $5 pizzas.  It was surprising, but we ate it all.

I just want to take the time to thank everyone who came out to our meetings, making new friends, and learning new things.  I would also like to thank the staff members of LXP for sticking around and making an awesome year for the club, for the members, and for me.  It's been an honor being the Web manager and historian of LXP.  Have a great summer everyone and see you around campus next year.

Speed Friending

Hey everyone!  Hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day and enjoying the 3-day weekend.  We had our rendition of speed dating by having members mingle with our "Speed Friending" activity.

A lot of people showed up this time and had a great time.  Thank you to those who participated, and for those who joined us for dinner after the meeting.

After the meeting, we all went over to Steelhead's where they have a special on pizza.  If you buy a rootbeer, you get a pizza for $5 compared to the usual price of $11-13.  And if you get the spicy draft rootbeer, it's unlimited refills!  It was a delicious dinner, satisfying event, and a great deal.  Thanks again for those that came and be sure not to miss out on this up coming meeting as we will get to do Chinese Calligraphy!  It has always been an interest of mines to practice calligraphy.  So hope to see you all there!
