Asian Pacific Islander Queers' Winter Quarter OPEN SESSION will take place on THURSDAY, January 27, 2005 at 7 p.m. The tentative theme of the open session is called "Our Stories" where APIQ members and visitors will be able to share their different experiences with oppression and to connect racial oppression with homophobia as well.

Please respond to this e-mail if you are able to attend the open session along with names of the attendees from your party. We also invite you to announce this to fellow members of your organizations who are interested. We will need a headcount before we send a final list to APIQ, a tradition that allows members who are not comfortable in coming out to choose whether they will particpate or not.

Food will always be provided.

If you have any questions, please contact APIQCore at apiqcore@ucdavis.edu. Please visit our web site at www.ucdapiq.com for more information about APIQ.
