Welcome Back Bash & Reception w/ EBB :)

As most of you know, we had our big recruiting events last week!

ASA @ Welcome Back Bash was a HUGE success. Our beautifully decorated table and super fun map game drew in a LOT of new faces, all of which I hope to see at future ASA events. :)

As you can tell from the pictures, we had a blast.
(I may or may not have added inspirational music that starts when you click the speaker...)


* Special thanks to members Addison & Madison for volunteering their time and copious amounts of energy to the Welcome Back Bash. :) *


ASA also teamed up with Engaged Beyond Borders to throw a fantastic reception Thursday night, which allowed us all to get to know each other better and showcase what our two organizations are all about!
As usual, we got a little crazy with our picture poses. :p



* Super special thanks to EBB for a wonderful night!! *
Just in case you guys missed the reception and want to know more about Engaged Beyond Borders, you can go HERE for more info.


More fun events to come! :)
