General Announcements through 10/23/06
The following are the APALSA announcements through 10/23/06. All announcements in their entiretycan also be seen by going to http://bcapalsa.blogspot.com
You are cordially invited to celebrate Diwali!!!
Diwali or Deepavali, the most significant Hindu festival in India, is an occasion for the invocation of the Gods of prosperity and plenty. Diwali means "rows of lighted lamps" and the celebration is often referred to as the Festival of Lights. It symbolizes the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. It celebrates the victory of good over evil - and the glory of light. Lights and diyas are lit to signifying the driving away of darkness and ignorance, as well as the awakening of the light within ourselves. Diwali is a time for family gatherings, food, celebration and puja . The celebration means as much to Hindus as Christmas does to Christians. In some regions, Diwali also signifies the arrival of the New Year.
Please join us for a Puja led by Pundit Dube Maharajh followed by dinner
On Monday October 23 rd, 2006, 6:15pm at the Barat House, Boston College Law School, 885 Centre
Street , Newton, MA 02459

November 7th Voter Monitoring Volunteering
Hey APALSA, a big election is coming up soon, and a great opportunity to help make sure the voting rights of our fellow Americans are safeguarded. Basically, we will be polling voters to see that the proper language materials and other necessary measures for voting are available for those who might speak English as a second language. The details about the training session and polling location need to be ironed out, but are largely dependant on how many volunteers we get. So, if you are interested please let us know SOON!
Email anthony.nguyen.3@bc.edu and he will send you a volunteer form if you are interested in volunteering. Either print out a form and hand it to any APALSA officer, or feel free to complete

October 11-13, 2006 - VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVE - 12:30 to 2:00 Cafeteria
On November 7, 2006, Massachusetts gubernatorial election will be held. Many of us will begin and establish our legal careers in Boston and will be directly affected by the actions taken by the
governor who wins this election. Furthermore, too many of us do not vote because there are no accessible means to actually register ourselves to vote. LALSA will be holding a voter registration drive October 11-13 in the Cafeteria. We will sit in the Caf with registration forms and encourage students passing by to register. They fill out the form and we will then send those forms to their respective city/town halls to complete the official registration process.
