The ISSO will reimburse for food items (only food items) up to $200 for the coffee hour. We will provide utensils, bowls, cups, plates, and we have a very limited supply of hot water pitchers and urns to heat water. Last year we hosted the event outside at the Crossroads between the BA building and AG/IT building and we attracted our largest crowd ever and it was a great success. We hope to have more university faculty, staff, and students stop by and we need as many cultures and groups as possible participate. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In addition to the International Coffee Hour, the Thai student Association will host the Loy Krathong Festival on November 19 and the Korean Student Association will be hosting a Korean night on November 21.
