Hola, amigos!

If you were busy studying Tuesday night, you're in luck because the Spanish Committee Meeting has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 24 at 7pm.

At this language meeting, we will be translating health blurbs, going over useful phrases and vocab, and practicing our Spanish with role play and improv scenarios. This is a great way to become more comfortable with the language and build up your confidence when working with native Spanish speakers at health sites, so you don't want to miss out! :)

DO YOU LOVE TO ENTERTAIN AND PERFORM?

Come audition for the USC CHIP Healthfair on March 27, 2010! We are looking for performers who love to play music or entertain in front of people.

Any type of performer is welcome to try out :D Please come prepared with about 1-2 songs for guitar, vocals, keyboard, dance, etc!

For those of you who are already CHIP volunteers and have friends who are musicians, please tell them to audition too!

For more information, contact: keem@usc.edu, (310) 800-7566

Our First Annual USC Community Health Fair will be held on McCarthy Quad on Saturday, March 27, 2010. This is a collaborative effort of over a dozen student and nonprofit organizations and we're expecting over 500 participants!

Help us put on this huge event by spreading the word and donating online: http://chip.goqnet.com/health_fair

We are also looking for performing groups, so if you have a special talent you would like to share, please email Jen at aufdersp@usc.edu.

And finally, if you are a CHIP volunteer trained in blood pressure and/or blood glucose screening who is willing to volunteer the entire day (there may be a free Disney pass in it for you), let James know at wangjame@usc.edu.

Thank you so much!!!

Hey everybody,

Welcome back! Hopefully you had a very relaxing few weeks of break and are ready for everything CHIP has to offer this semester. We've got lots of new things going on, including our First Annual USC Community Health Fair, Spanish and Korean Language Committees and the Healthsite Quality Assessment Taskforce (HQAT).

Of course, we're still offering all of our great healthsites so look out for more news about everything in our weekly emails, and if something catches your attention, be sure to let us know!

We wish you all the best for 2010 and we'll see you soon!!

Hey everybody -

South Park is doing a toy giveaway at their XMas event on Dec 12, so if you would like to donate any new and nonviolent toys, please let us know! Also, if you have clothing you would like to donate, South Park always accepts that as well, and now with the weather turning colder I'm sure they would appreciate it even more.

Thanks for all of your dedication this semester and best of luck w/the last week of classes and finals! (Remember - if you are looking for a quick but rewarding study break, come join us at South Park!)

Hey CHIPsters!
