Hi CSA!

If you're staying on campus (or close by) for Thanksgiving, come to Jones Kitchen on Friday 11/27 at 5PM to make and eat some yummy dumplings! You know we always love to give free food, but it'll taste especially good when it's homemade by you and your friends!

We'll provide all the supplies and ingredients, so you just need to bring yourselves. No prior cooking or dumpling skills required. C:

If you're coming, make sure to sign up on the form here! And be sure to RSVP to the FB event to stay updated.

Hey CSA!!

Next week on Saturday, April 11th, will be our CSA Banquet at Ocean Palace! Join us for good food and good company :] Drivers will get a $5 subsidy, everyone else will get a $3 subsidy! Including the $3 subsidy, dinner is expected to be about $10--we'll be dining family style; expect duck and seafood!

SIGN UP here--space is limited! You can also recommend a dish to be ordered if you sign up now :]

See you next Saturday!

Your EVP,

Hannah Chen

Hey CSA!

How do fresh-made noodles, steamed buns, and dumplings/potstickers sound? What about a $2 *or more* subsidy to boot? You're in luck--you'll get both at the CSA restaurant trip to San Dong Noodle House this Saturday, 3/21! Sign up here :D

Back to the subsidy--If it's your first time with us, you'll get a $2 subsidy. If you've been to our previous restaurant trips, be sure to bring your CSA frequent diner card for an additional dollar off for each restaurant trip attended, up to a total of $4 off! :D And, as always, drivers get a $5 subsidy!

And a few more notes--We will be leaving from the RMC circle drive at 5pm on Saturday, 3/21; if this time isn't good for you, let us know on the form! As a heads up--San Dong Noodle House is a cash-only establishment, so BRING CA$H. Check out the restaurant here!

Wishing you all a great week!

The Chao Center has a screening event next Friday. It is a Korean movie “The Host” and will be held at 4pm on Friday, Mar 20, at Miner Lounge, Student Center.

After the screening, postdoctoral fellows at the Chao Center will have Q & As while Korean food is served for dinner.

Feel free to join our friends at the Chao Center for this event!

Bring your friends cause the more the merrier and cause we aren't collecting any dues.

Please RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/708459289242563/ so we know how much food to get yo

Hey CSA!

This is Hannah Chen, your EVP--one of my jobs is to coordinate restaurant trips, and I'd love for you to join us for our first restaurant trip of the year! Anyone is welcome--just be one of the first 28 to sign up on the google form here--you'll also have the option of suggesting some of the dishes to order! :D

As you may know, there is no membership fee this year--instead we'll just have a frequent diner program which is only $5 to join. For this first trip, you'll receive a $2 subsidy, and for each subsequent restaurant trip you attend, you'll get one more dollar off, up to $5 off per restaurant trip! Drivers will always receive $5 off. For those who are drivers AND frequent diners, they will receive $6 when driving, and their attendance is counted so that they receive frequent diner benefits when not driving as well! Unsubsidized meals are expected to be about $10, which is very reasonable for a large family-style FEAST of spicy (and non-spicy) Sichuan cuisine!

Even if you can't make it this time, I'd love know what restaurants you'd like to CSA to host restaurant trips to! Just list them out here!

And, don't forget to invite your friends to the Facebook event!

Best,

Hannah Chen
