Hello and welcome back to another semester here at the University of Florida. We hope you all had a great vacation. And now, please get yourselves ready for another round of exciting CASA and AASU events, starting with...

1. Chinese New Year Show 2014: Involvement

Chinese New Year is drawing to a close and we, the CASA officers, are working days and nights to prepare for our biggest show and celebration of the year. If you think Mid-Autumn was impressive, CNY will be even bigger and better. And to make it so impressive, we need all your help. 

• Performers: Our Special Event Coordinators are currently still looking for a few more acts for the show. If you're interested in performing, please contact Wilfred Lee or Jennifer Cheung ASAP at casa.spe...@gmail.com. Application will be released soon.
  
• CASA Traditional and Modern: If you have any interest in dancing for us for the show, please join the Facebook group and come check out the choreographers and their dances all throughout next week, starting Monday night.

• Decorations: CASA's very own Decorations Committee will also be starting again very soon to prepare for the show.  Everyday leading up to the day of the show, Wilfred will be posting the times and locations of where he's doing decoration. If you have any free time on your hand, please stop by and help us in anyway you can. No artistic skills and experience required.
