Tết Trung Thu 2010
Fall 2010. The Mid-Autumn Festival, a celebration centered around the celebration of children and the harvest, is the second largest holiday in the Vietnamese tradition. There is a large festival organized in San Jose each year which in UVSA has been in attendance. Starting this year, UVSA will start to steer the festival in a new chapter in Vietnamese American history!

Looking for volunteers in all roles!

UVSA Summit 2010
Fall 2010. Each year UVSA gathers members of all affiliated VSAs to meet, greet, share ideas and experiences with one another, setting the tone for the rest of the year. Once the hosting school is selected, the Summit Committee will be interested in individuals who want to shape the event to their vision.
------------------------------------------
Tết 2011
The largest holiday in the Vietnamese tradition, UVSA has been part of either the Vietnamese Spring Festival & Parade, or the Hội Tết Fairgrounds. Our presence can be seen at San Francisco’s Tết Festival and Stockton Tết Festival as well. What role should our youth community play in Tết for 2011?

Looking for visionaries and pioneers!
