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!!!
STUDY CRAM!!!
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!

wonderful and accomplished students and take a break from studying. We have
classes
from 6th grade to 12th grade. Preuss is located on the east side of
campus, next to Scripps
Hospital. You can use the
East Parking Shuttle, which will drop you off across the street from Preuss. Weekday tutoring is possible as well- contact Lisa
Sugimori for more information

an orientation with Eva Mejia, the volunteer coordinator at Preuss School.

the quarter.

soooooo much fun. Held at Oceanside Pier, this event involves plunging into the
Pacific Ocean early in the morning and staying
in for as long as you can handle 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! =)
