This past weekend MEChA Alumni participated in juegos (softball) and made it to the semifinals before losing to 3 time-champs the Obamers 8-4, wearing them out in the process before their streak came crashing to an end in the finals...Along the way, we suffered a minor "bump", and also beat current MEChA (reminding them to respect their elders).

We would like to congratulate MEChistA and UCR graduate '03- B.A. (Anthropology & History) Aide Acosta! She recently successfully defended her dissertation and will be receiving her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Illinois at Champaign! Way to go Aide! We are all extremely proud and excited for you! Si se puede!

Congratulations to the following recipients of the UCR MEChA Alumni Scholarships for the Fall Quarter 2010- Judith Duncanson, Andrea Galicea, Jose Gomez, & Nancy Lopez. Congratulations & best of luck as you further your educational goals!

We will be meeting this Friday night May 7 @ 6:00 p.m. at Family Housing. All interested are welcome to attend.

Let's defend our title! Anybody interested in "juegos" or know anybody interested in juegos? It's time for softball! Juegos is Saturday May 15. Ok, so maybe we don't actually have a title to defend but it would be fun to get together and hang out afterwards, talk about what everyone is up to, and revive this thing. If you are interested, let me know please. Ask others if they are interested as well. Thanks!
