beach cleanup on March 7th, the project is canceled and has been removed from

PASS MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Your club
president, Robin, would like to remind you of the active
membership requirements. To be considered an active member of PASS we ask
that you complete at least six service project points (~12 hours of
service), and attend at least two social events per academic year. If you
manage to meet the requirements of official membership you will receive a
certificate stating how many hours of service you completed as proof of
your participation in community service and you will be able to apply for
an officer position.
Breakdown: Two hours of volunteering with PASS is considered one point.

FUNDRAISER AT BJ’S!
Coordinator:
Isadore Tarantino (izzy@ucsdpass.org)
Tuesday,
February 17th, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Hey fellow
PASS members!!!
Is anyone up for raising money to help out our up and coming TJ trip which
will support the offerings of toys and blankets for our dearest little orphans
who have little to nothing. Moreover, the money that will
be raised will also be directed towards our own California's Special
Olympics which is held in the heart of downtown each and every year.
The night will consist of trying to bring as many people
as we can to the restaurtant BJ's and with every purchase they make,
a small portion will be up for donation to our very unfortunate
friends. Oh yah, I almost forgot, the food at BJ's is
awesome!! So come on down and help PASS out with this wonderful event
and receive a social point as well!!!

Coordinator:
Isadore Tarantino (izzy@ucsdpass.org)
Saturday,
March 14th, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Finals
are just a few days from
this date
and I am giving everyone the opportunity to earn social points for STUDYING!!
That’s right, you read it correctly, social points for studying! Come on down
to UCSD campus and get your studying on before those darn Finals. Enjoy a
great morning of cramming in those last few hours of reading inside the
Biomedical library at UCSD before the big tests. The great thing
about this social is that there will be other PASS members there that I bet are
even in those same horrible/dreadful classes that you are taking. This
means that is not only a social but a free group study session if needed.
Feel free to come and study for an hour, grab a bite to eat and head on back to
some more terrific studying!

the icy deliciousness! PASS got an award for most plungers last year, so let's
see if we can have the biggest team again this year! You don't need to know how
to swim....just slightly masochistic enough (which pre-meds are anyway) to
tolerate the cold! =)
