CHOP what? CHOPSTICKS!

Our beloved Chopsticks members,

We, the committee, want to take a quick moment to welcome everyone back to uni for another semester, and to thank you all for being so wonderful. We hope you all had an exciting and fun Winter Holiday (or Summer, for those of you who went overseas).

There are quite a few things happening this semester. But to start off, we’ve already had a Semester 2 Welcoming BBQ on Week 1 Tuesday and Wednesday.

Here are some of the events coming up soon, that we hope you can attend…

=-=-=-=CHOPSTICKS GAMES NIGHT!!!=-=-=-=

A second warm welcome after our hearty BBQ in first week is the popular and long-awaited Chopsticks Games Night on Week 2 Tuesday.

As with the tradition, there will be a variety of games of your choice including San Guo Sha, Twister, Poker, Mah-jongg, Uno and more, refreshments, friends you long to meet up and lots of laughters.

So come join us next Tuesday early evening!
…

Where: Wentworth Level 4; area near International Lounge

BUT! Until those days, we hope you all stay safe, laugh, smile and are very hap-hap-happy!
Hopefully you will be able to make it to those events, where we can all gather and catch up =)
QUICK NOTE FOR NON-CHOPSTICKS MEMBERS: become one today. For $2 with Access, you’ll get to meet and greet so many great people that you wont regret it.
Despite what you may think; we are not a “Chinese society”, we are the “Australian Chinese Cultural Appreciation Society”.
So remember it.
And say hello to us.
