Dear Members and Supporters,

The month of November will be an extremely busy month for most high school seniors as they apply for college. As most of us in VAYA are either current college students or college graduates, we are glad to assist those who need help with their college application(s) (which includes college application to UCs, CSUs, and various San Diego Community Colleges). If you're a high school student and would like to get some help or advice on your college application, please RSVP to VAYA's External Vice President, Nikki Lam, at collegeinfo@vayasd.org. In the RSVP email, PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT YOU SPECIFICALLY NEED HELP WITH. If you're CURRENTLY a college student and would like to help a high school student out with his/her application, contact Nikki to get involve. FROM NOW ON, Application Assistance is provided EVERY SATURDAY IN NOVERMBER (starting on 11/1/08) @ Tea N' More (Clairemont Mesa Blvd, next to 99 Ranch Supermarket) at 1:00 PM. PLEASE NOTE that there will be NO "College Application Assistance" workshop on Saturday 11/29/08 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. For more information or if interested in participating OR helping out with this event, please contact VAYA's External Vice President, Nikki Lam, at collegeinfo@vayasd.org.

Please save the date for Sunday November 23, 2008. VAYA will be hosting our annual Thanksgiving "Potluck" Dinner that day and we would like for you to join us. VAYA Thanksgiving "Potluck" Dinner will be Sunday 11/23/08 from 6:00 - 10:00 PM at the Santa Fe Room at Balboa Park. Please be on the lookout for a special eVite which will include further details and an option to let us know what you'll be bringing to the Potluck Dinner.
