We have a little more than a week until the ACIV Buffalo Wild Wings Fundraiser!
With every person that visits Buffalo Wild Wings (360 Albert Ave-- north of the MSU campus) and presents the flyer, they will take 20% of the total bill and donate it to ACIV.

Here's the issue though: they want us to bring in at least about 400 people to the event -- so we have a lot of advertising to do.
Some suggestions: spread them to your floormates, classmates, church family, other organizations you are apart of. Invite people to the FB event, remind people a couple days before and the day of to go, have a big dinner with friends, ask your RA if you guys could do a floor dinner, etc!

Need the flyer?
Go to the FB event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=430397860477&ref=ts

Remember, the more people we can go to the fundraiser, the more donations we are able to receive to help with retreats, conferences, and 2+ events!

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

Monday, January 25, 2010 (TOMORROW) is the LAST day to sign up for the Imago Dei - Asian American conference.

Not sure what Imago Dei is about?
Imago Dei is a conference relating directly to Asians and Asian Americans. Asian specific chapters from all over the Great Lakes East are will be coming together to learn about their identity as an Asian, their identity as an Asian-American, and their identity as a non-Asian in an Asian group.

The cost of the conference is $116 BUT if you are interested in going and you need financial help, please talk to BenLow (ben@benjaminlow.net)!
Do not let money stop you from attending -- there are scholarships available on need basis.
(and if we get 400 people to attend the fundraiser on February 3, we'll have more money to help students out with future conferences!)

Imago Dei takes place 7:00pm Feb 5 - Noon Feb 7.
For more information and registration, visit the FB event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=207856287600&ref=ts

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

For those of you that were not at the last Large Group meeting, there is NO LARGE GROUP tomorrow!

Instead of meeting on Tuesday, we will be meeting on Friday with all the other InterVarsity groups at MSU!
On Friday is the Fall Harvest Party. It will take place at Faith Church from 7pm-10pm.
There will be caramel apple making, pumpkin carving, and some games to play!

If you need a ride or if you are able to drive people, please contact Dilo at 248-252-8028.

Also, DRESS UP!
It's Halloween after all!

So..."What's the point of this party?" you might ask.
Well, the point of this party is not only to gather all the MSU InterVarsity chapters together to have a joint event, but it is also for the International students on campus! MSU has tons of International students and InterVarsity works with some of them. When they are in America, they see all the holidays that Americans celebrate but they don't know how to celebrate them or why we have them. So this is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to have a Harvest Party (or a Christian Halloween party) for them to have them experience a couple things that Americans do for fun for Halloween.

So on Friday, instead of just hanging out with ACIV people and the people that we know, hang out with your conversation partner (if you have one), or pair up with an International student that doesn't have a partner and work with them in carving pumpkins or making a caramel apple or playing some games!
RSVP on the Facebook Event

That's all for this week! See you all Friday or earlier,
Blessings,
A
