[TSAW] Happy Fall Semester from the Taiwanese Student Association!!

[Chen, Jacob]

Hello all,

Welcome back to campus, and, if you're not back on campus yet, I hope to
welcome you soon! In this email, I am going to talk about the *Purple Key
Fair signup form*, interest in *joining the board*, and our first event of
the year: *a mid-autumn festival barbecue*!!

*Purple Key Fair*
We need some members to help out with the Purple Key Fair so that more
people on campus can know about us and so that all people who are
interested in participating in our activities can join us! Below is the
link to sign up to table. All you have to do is be present at the table and
give people passing by a short description about the Taiwanese Student
Association. :) Please sign up if you can!

*Joining the Board*
All the current board members are seniors, which means we are looking for
YOU to pass the club on to and to step into a position of leadership!
Regardless of how you identify, if you would be interested in joining the
board and building up the
Taiwanese/Taiwanese-American/Chinese/Chinese-American/Hong Kong/any other
related community on campus, please respond to this email. We would love to
have you join us. <3

*Mid-Autumn Festival Barbecue*
The Mid-Autumn Festival this year is on 9/10 (Saturday). It is a Taiwanese
tradition to have a barbecue on the Mid-Autumn Festival every year (if you
happen to speak Mandarin, this video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOzrN68tMSM> explains why), so that is
what we are going to do! We are tentatively planning to have our barbecue
on 9/11 (Sunday) at 6pm to account for the craziness that comes with the
beginning of classes. More details to come, but please mark down your
calendars!

That's all for now! I hope to see you all very very soon, and I hope you
have a good day! <3

Warm regards,
Jacob

*We respectfully acknowledge that Williams College stands on the ancestral

hardship after being forced from their valued homelands, they continued as
a sovereign Tribal Nation in Wisconsin, which is where they reside today.
We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit
to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.*
