Dear VAYA Members and Supporters,

As the VAYA Executive Board move forward to our second year in office, we are starting a NEW Volume in our Newsletter (Volume VI: Issue 1). A reminder that the newsletter was created for your convenient access to important VAYA issues and information. If you're affiliated with another organization (VSA, etc) and would like to make an announcement on VAYA's newsletter on behalf of your organization, please send everything directly to VAYA Secretary at newsletter@vayasd.org by Saturday night (11:59 PM) of each week. VAYA will do our best to post all "approved" announcements on the next immediate newsletter.

In VAYA news, we like to recognize and congratulate Henry Tran & Calix Vu-Bui as VAYA Community Relations Coordinators (Vietnamese Community and Non-Vietnamese Community respectively). They will both work harmoniously with VAYA External Vice President - Nikki Lam in dealing with ALL the External Affairs of VAYA. Also, don't forget that VAYA is actively recruiting new general staff and Tet 2010 Committee staff to add to our team. Please visit our official website (www.vayasd.org) to download the application along with a document detailing the duties and responsibilities for each of the position. All applications will be reviewed on a rolling-basis.

Lastly, VAYA would like to congratulate those graduating from San Diego State University this month. We wish you MUCH success in life and applaud you for your accomplishments. For a complete listing of VAYA's upcoming events/meetings, please visit our official calendar at: http://www.vayasd.org/calendar/. Please direct any questions or concerns to VAYA Secretary, Anthony (Vinh) Nguyen, at secretary@vayasd.org.

On behalf of VAYA's Executive Board and Staff, thank you for your continual support.
