Dear UVSA and friends!

We would like to personally extend a formal invitation to you and your friends to this year’s Đêm Việt Nam Culture Show. This year’s Đêm Việt Nam will take place on Saturday, January 3th at the Mendelssohn Theater at the Michigan League (911 North University Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48109). Doors will open at 6:30 PM and the show will begin at 7 PM. We will donate all profits towards benefiting VietHope.

The theme of this year’s show is “Nho Lai Tung Buoc Chan”, which is translated “With Each and Every Step”.

Over the past several months, we have been working very hard to guarantee the success of this year’s Đêm Việt Nam Culture Show and invite you to enjoy the final product and experience with us. Ticket prices this year are $7 for students and $10 for general admission. Discounted pre-sale tickets will be $5 (purchased prior to January 30). Please feel free to contact me or any other UMICH VSA board member to purchase pre-sale tickets (including group tickets for your organization).

Finally, we will also be holding an AFTERPARTY @ Vintage, 314 South Main Street. GET THERE EARLY to avoid lines AND contribute to charity!!

On behalf of the UVSA-Midwest executive board and state representatives, I’d like to thank you for making this year’s retreat a great success. We had the largest turnout to date with attendees coming from all over the Midwest. Your contributions during the workshops made them more enjoyable and productive.

A special thank you to all the VSA presidents who encouraged their members to attend. I hope you guys didn’t mind me bugging you all the time for your final headcount.

Additionally, thank you to our advisor, Anh Thuc, for his guidance and willingness to host 30 people at his condo!

In order to make next year’s retreat even better, please give us your feedback through this post-retreat survey. We will try to incorporate your suggestions next year.

Our next event will be the VIA-1 conference at UW-Madison. If you’re interested in helping plan this event, join one of the committees (deadline: Jan 24 at 11:59 PM). It’s a great opportunity to help shape the conference and gain teamwork experience.

Don’t forget to check out the other events going on at schools throughout the region!

Also, materials from the workshops can be found here!

Leadership Retreat

The UVSA Midwest staff cordially invite you to attend the 3rd annual Leadership Retreat to be held at Northwestern University on January 16, 2010. The retreat brings together leaders from Vietnamese student groups across the Midwest to discuss issues that affect us all. This year’s topics include:

Fundraising through online and offline methods.
Event planning.
Membership retention.
Conflict resolution.

With this retreat, we hope to help you grow as a leader and help to improve your VSA. Additionally, this is a great networking opportunity, especially since this is a more intimate and informal level. Meet other leaders of VSAs from different schools, share your thoughts and ideas, and build both professional and personal relationships.

The retreat is from the 15-17th of January with most activities happening on Saturday the 16th. We expect attendees to arrive Friday evening and leave sometime Sunday morning. Please contact us at staff@uvsamidwest.org if you need a place to stay that weekend.

Registration fee:

$15 if registered by 11:59 PM on January 8, 2010.

$25 afterward.
