Welcome Back CSULB Students and CSS Members!
Hey All!
It's that time of year when we all continue our journey of knowledge. I hope you all have had a wonderful summer (even those who took classes this summer). This upcoming semester will be a milestone for everybody because it will be a semester closer to graduating and pursuing careers. On behalf of Cambodian Student Society I want to wish all of you the best of luck for the Fall 2010 semester.
Our first event that is coming up very soon is the Week of Welcome located at the friendship walk (right in front of the bookstore). The week of welcome will take place on September 8th and 9th from 11am - 2pm. Please come out to support our table at this event.
Our first meeting following this event will be on September 24 at 6:30PM in the USU room 304 (third floor).
Again, I would like to wish all of you a great Fall semester. CSS will be here for you every step of the way. I look forward to seeing you all very soon!

CSS SUMMERTIME CAR WASH RECAP
Dear CSS members,
The Cambodian Student Society is proud to say that our first official fundraiser of the year was a great success! Spin Cycle in Long Beach graciously hosted CSS's car wash on the morning of Saturday the 31st of July at 9am, where CSSers worked hard to wash and spiff up cars while making fun, lasting memories together, too.
Though the morning got off to a slow start--likely because of the bizarre July gloom we've been having--things picked up once the sun started shining and in no time we were washing at least three or four cars at once! Because the morning brought in so few customers, however, our car wash's cutoff time was pushed back from 12pm to 2pm--which lent us lots of valuable time to spend with both each other and the incredibly generous and interested supporters who came out and gave donations to our group.
Along with the car wash, CSS also hosted a small bake sale, where scrumptious cupcakes and brownies were sold. Volunteers also sold T-shirts, along with signed copies of Cambodian ambassador Sichan Siv's autobiographical and inspiring book, Golden Bones, which recounts the story of Siv's escape from Cambodia during the time of the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror, his life in America as an ambassador, and his return to the site where so many horrors took place in Cambodia's past.
Thanks to everyone who came out and gave their time in support of C.S.S.!
