Hall (165 Church St, across from the Green) in meeting room #2 on the
2nd floor.
The next meeting is TOMORROW November 5th AT 6PM. The other meetings are

profiling debate, and to have your voice heard. Contact Kristina.Weaver

Thanks to each of you for coming out to one of the screenings last week.
It was exciting to see so much interest.
The Anti-Racism Group will be having it's first meeting this coming

The meeting will be a chance to extend the discussions we started last
week, and to strategize about what we want to work on this semester and this
year.
If you cannot make the meeting, please email kristina.weaver@yale.edu if you
would like to be added to one or both of our two email lists (we have one list
for announcements, and a "core" list for more involved people who
want to help plan events and campaigns). You will not be added to any
list unless you indicate that you wish to be, either by signing up at
the meeting or emailing Kristina. We will not necessarily always meet at

Hi everyone! The School of Management is having an International Month where each country
has a representative from the student body, and I have volunteered to help put
together a presentation on Thailand. We have a very small Thai community at SOM
and I would like to involve more of the Thai folks at Yale.
The presentation will be done with other countries from SE Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia,
etc.) & South Asia (India, Pakistan, etc.) and will be held on Nov. 12 between 5pm - 7pm.
The theme of the night for the SE Asia/South Asia region is festivals, music
and dances...so if anyone knows how to lam, play a classical Thai instrument
(and has one) or a lot about Songkran, etc., your help would be much
appreciated. Also, if anyone has any old-style Thai clothing, that would
be good too. If anyone has any ideas or prior experience doing something
similar before, please share them. Otherwise, I really don't expect the presenation
to last more than 15-20 minutes.
Send me an email or give me a call if you would like to help out. I would
like to meet with anyone interested in helping later next week. Hope your
midterms are going well. Thanks!
