  Chocolate Strawberries

    leading up to Sunday, February 13

We're now taking orders! CASA is selling handmade chocolate strawberries 
during the week leading up to Valentine's Day! For just $3, we'll 
deliver a wrapped package of chocolate strawberries to the suite of your 
designated recipient on Sunday, February 13.  We'll be tabling in 
various dining halls during dinner next week, so keep us in mind when 
you plan for your crush.  They're also a delicious way to surprise your 
friends, suitemates, and cultural group family members.  For a schedule 
of where we'll be tabling each night, see the Facebook event 
<http://www.facebook.com/home.php#%21/event.php?eid=192737767422412>.  
If you can't find us in the dining halls, you can also place orders 
online. Go to http://yalecasa.com/strawberry/ to order!

Also, everyone is welcome to join CASA board at the AACC on Friday from 
8-10 pm to help make chocolate strawberries!

designed by the fellow, or the host agency can assign the fellow to a

50%) are eligible to apply.

*Interested in forming a student group for adopted Yalies?

*My name is Jenna Cook and I am a freshman in Davenport College.  I was 
adopted from China in 1992 and was raised in Massachusetts.  I am hoping 
to form a student group adopted Yalies to each other.  Although there 
are many Yale clubs that provide cultural outreach to young children 
adopted from China, Korea, or Vietnam, Yale has yet to have a group for 
adopted adults.

I am interested in exploring our diversity of ideas and narratives, 
finding common ground, and finding friendship.  Perhaps this could take 
the form of panels and discussions about adoption, fundraising for our 
orphanages, or any other creative way in which we explore our adoptive 
identity.  It would also be great to engage in non-adoption related 
activities—like going to the movies or out to eat together!

This group is primarily for students who are adopted (domestically or 
internationally), but is also welcome to students who have adopted 
siblings or parents, students who may want to adopt someday, or anyone 
else whose life has been touched by adoption.

Our first meeting will be for dinner on Thursday, February 11th at 
5:30pm in the Davenport Fellows Dining Room.  The room is inside 
Davenport dining hall, up the stairs above the servery, and to the left 
at the top of the stairs.  I’ll bring Claire’s cake for desert!

Please RSVP to jenna.cook at yale.edu by Monday, February 7th so I know who 
to expect (and how much cake to get!)  Even if you cannot make this 
meeting, please e-mail me anyways and introduce yourself.  I would love 
to get to know you!
