Greetings all!

On Thursday, February 17th, CSUSM will be holding a Lunar New Year Celebration for Chinese/Vietnamese New Year. The API community in large collaboration with APIFSA, the Asian Pacific Islander Faculty Staff Association, and Arts&Lectures, in support of Asian Heritage Month, as well as sponsorship from BAPS, Brotherhood Academics Prosperity Strength, are hosting the annual Lunar New Year Celebration.

This year, we will be saying farewell to the Year of the Tiger and hopping into the new year, the Year of the Rabbit. There will be tons of performances from many student organizations and one in particular you should look forward to. The San Diego Lucky Lion Dancers will be performing the traditional lion dance to help reign in luck and prosperity with the new year. Trust me, you do not want to miss this! (Yours truly, ahem, is performing!)

It will take place in University Plaza (in front of University Hall stairs) from 11-2, this Thursday! Swing by University Plaza, meet new people, indulge yourself in this prosperous culture and have a great time. Don’t forget to come by the KPDL table and say hello!

The calendar of events can be found on the CSUSM website or hard copies in the Cross Cultural Center (C3), where you’re more than likely to run into some of the ladies, as well as see new faces!

Following our KPDL’s Meet and Greet, on September 10th, 2010, Kamalayan Alliance is hosting a bonfire at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA. Look for the Facebook event or feel free to ask any KA or KPDL officer for more information.

Another event we hope to see you at is BAPS’s Froyo-Love fundraiser, in the Ralphs shopping center across the street from campus. It’s the beginning of the semester, still experiencing that summer heat, so why not come out and support the gentlemen of BAPS!? Time and date to be announced.

We’re looking forward to this upcoming semester, so stay tuned for more updates from the ladies of KPDL.

Hey everyone. It’s been a while, but KPDL’s still here and working hard as always.

Our March Ice Skating fundraiser was a huge success, thanks to everyone who came out! Also, on April 25th, a few of the girls participated in the MS Walk at Legoland in Carlsbad, CA. We walked as a part of Walk for Mayet, with the Abrogina family. We had tons of fun and were able to enjoy the Legoland scenary while walking for a great cause.

We’ve been planning big things for this summer as well as the upcoming academic year, but before then, there’s finals! Study up everyone, and KPDL wishes you all the best of luck these next two weeks!
