[Bone Marrow Drive]
There is a bone marrow drive going on today from 11am-1230pm at Austin Chinese Church to help a friend in need(Michelle Maykin). There is a CRITICAL SHORTAGE of Asians and other ethnic minority donors on the database, so her chances of finding a chance are smaller. For more information, you can go here
[Missing Vox?]
So maybe you just graduated or you moved away or you are just not around for the summer and you MISS us. If you go to our media page on the vox website, there are links for you to be able to subscribe to our podcast and be able to listen to Gid or Wey (or whoever else) anywhere and anytime you want! What a treat.

[Space12 Open House Wrap-up]
This past Saturday, we opened up Space12 to the community for the first time! In the early morning, we started Ex:Change which was put on by the College Neighborhoods. A big thanks goes out to all of the people that donated some of their stuff for the garage sale. Ex:Change was a huge success. Later in the day, the East Austin Neighborhood put on a free BBQ and cooked a ton of hamburgers and hot dogs. While all of this was going on, people in the community were able to look around at the newly renovated space and take a quick survey on what they would like to see at the space. With your donations and help, we were able to raised over $900 for local schools. More importantly, we were able to connect and meet East Austin-ers.

We'll plan on meeting up at 7 PM and just go from there. No agendas. No articles. No lessons. Just a chance to hang out with some people from other neighborhoods that we might not have seen too much since we broke into the "neighborhood" format this past year.
