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…

So come join us next Tuesday early evening!

Winter Holidays 2010!
Jul 1st
Hello from the Chopsticks team!
We hope that all of your exams went well, and we shall sit here and clasp our hands together with the desire that we all receive the marks that we need… 
Really not kidding.
And so begins the Winter Holidays of 2010!! So Chopsticks members all around, those who are doing Winter School, going overseas or maybe even just sitting at home twiddling thumbs while waiting for the new semester… make sure you all stay safe and warm! Or cool… if you’re traveling to somewhere in the Northern hemisphere… Either way! 
Make sure you all come back to us in one piece, safe and sound!
And, when Semester 2 2010 does come around, be prepared for some more awesome fun, and bubbles of happiness that accompany our wonderful Chopsticks events!!! We’ve got quite a bit up our sleeve, that we can’t wait to share with you all… 
Remember, if you’re not a Chopsticks member, you should really consider becoming one 
Despite it being an Australian Chinese Cultural Appreciation society, this does not mean we aren’t multicultural!!
We look forward to seeing you all in the future!!
So until then! Stay wonderful!
- Best wishes~
Chopsticks Team
Charity Night Success!
Jun 6th
Hey everyone!
Thanks to all of you who came to our Chopsticks Charity Night and took the initiative to ‘Beer-A-Hero’ =] We hope you all had a great night of music, magic, dance, pizza, alcohol… and fire! As the result of your support, we’ve already raised $242.75 (without yet taking USU funding into account) to donate to the Oaktree Foundation to fight against poverty. =D
As this Semester comes to a close, we wish you all the best for your exams! Stay tuned for bigger and better Chopsticks events next semester… and maybe even during the winter holidays! But for now… study hard! Thanks again for coming! Good luck and ADD OIL++ !!!
Love
The Chopticks Team <3
