Our last general body meeting of the school year ended with Saigon Cafe. Saigon Cafe with VSA presented our members with traditional drinks of the Vietnamese culture. These drinks include; ca phe sua da (iced coffee), sua dau lanh (soy bean milk), nuoc mat (artichoke tea), and che thai (jelly fruit drink), which were served by our beautiful models wearing ao dai (Vietnamese cultural outfits). Along with the delicious drinks, we also served fried shrimp chips.

As always with our last general body meetings, we want to acknowledge our VSA graduating seniors and their involvement with VSA. We would like to thank below the following (from left to right): Jeff Nguyen, Christina Hoang, Bao Lam, Maryanne Nguyen, and Matt Nguyen for contributing towards the growth of VSA and wish you all the best and your future endeavors.
