This week at iSo
Happy Valentine. iSo hope that everyone will have a romantic and happy celebration tonight. But don't forget that iSo will have a "post-Valentine" next week.
International Bazaar (Saturday, Feb. 23 – Wes Watkins Center):
We invite you to participate in our annual International Bazaar for the spring semester. It will be similar to the International Expo in the fall semester. Booths will be set up by iSo's area clubs, as well as cultural clubs and other campus clubs, to sell foods, souvenirs, etc. and to share any other aspects of the cultures around the world. We have some fantastic performances from area clubs. However, this year, we also have an art exhibition from different cultures from 4 continents and local businesses. That is our new effort to make it more interesting. Cash and Bursar charge (with Student IDs) are accepted.
If you would like to register a booth to sell food or to display art works, contact us at 405-744-6506 or iso@orgs.okstate.edu. For more information of iSo, visit http://www.orgs.okstate.edu/iSo
