It's been quite the long year, but before it's over, let's have some FUN FUN FUN!! The H.O.P.E. End-of-Year Party is set for next Friday, May 27th! This will be one of the last big activities of the year. All the executives are graduating this year so we really want to make this memorable for everyone! We'll also be giving 20 points for attending. Check out the invitation attached for more information!! Credits to our Creative Coordinator, Wendy Lei, for designing the invitation as always and to our Event Coordinator, Bryan Khuu for being punny even until the end!

Tickets will be sold beginning on Monday, May 23rd to Thursday, May 26th during all lunch periods in the SGO store. This party is only for H.O.P.E. members, but if you want to bring guests who aren't H.O.P.E. members, please let us know! 

Whether you plan on attending the End-of-Year Party or not, please complete the relatively simple form (link provided below) so we can get an approximate of how much food to order to accommodate all of you!

The Color Run for Queens is here and this time around, we'll be volunteering on behalf of an organization known as Back on My Feet. Back on My Feet works to combat homelessness using the power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing resources. For each volunteer that we provide, The Color Run will donate $40 to the organization. We will help hand out water, rev the crowd at the finish festival, toss colors, and such. Position requests are based on a first-come first-served basis so if you want to work somewhere in particular such as at a Color Zone, you should come earlier. 

You will get a volunteer t-shirt when you arrive, but please wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting colorful.
