Dear alumni,

PKUEF(USA) has asked PUAASC if we could provide to them our newsletter email

list so they can send out their own newsletters, seasonal greetings, etc. to

our alumni directly. If you do NOT want PKUEF(USA) to have your email address

via PUAASC, please let us know by responding to this message and we'll act upon

it.

Also, this is the last reminder of the PUAASC/CAST-LA/CSA-SC Spring Gathering

on 2/23 this coming Sunday. The original announcement can be found at

So far about 150 alumni and friends have pre-registered. Please remember that

you can get discounted tickets if you pre-register by 2/20!

Here are the time & location information again for your easy reference:
