Meet some international spies...

Danelle Laney
Danelle is a rep from TLHC who has also take on the extra duties of being co-chair in TeRHHiFiC. She has been a great addition to RHSA. Here’s some fun facts about this awesome person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: Don Eduardo's! - Major: International Studies and Political Science - Favorite thing about your hall: Besides my roomate, I would have to say its energy and all the fun programs that the staff put on - Favorite Husky Sport: FOOTBALL!
- Favorite program so far this year: Oooh, that is a tough question. They have all been fun. But if I had to choose, I would say the American Idol Viewing Party. - When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: That is an easy question- popcorn.
Phuong Nguyen
Phuong is a rep from MacCity who has put lots of hard work into both her Hall Council and RHSA. Here’s some more information about this fantabulous person:
- Favorite Place to eat on the Ave: My favorite place to eat in the area of the Ave is not actually on “the Ave.” I really like Cedars, which is an Indian restaurant on Brooklyn and 50th
- Why did you get involved in RHSA: I decided to participate in RHSA because it is hard to get involved in the Res Halls and find a niche. I really want to help others so they have a good experience here. Leadership is important and RHSA not only gave me a leadership position of my own but it allowed me to help others get involved in leadership. I wanted to meet people who are interested in leadership like me.
- Major: My major is psychology but seeing as I hope to go to medical school it is as if I am majoring in biology, chemistry and psychology since I have to take so many classes for each! - Favorite thing about your hall: My favorite thing about my hall is the people on RHSA with me. We work hard to put on events for our peers and this is my mission. I am glad that I work with a hall so dedicated to this goal. There are many different people in McMahon and it is interesting meeting a diverse group of people.
- Favorite Husky Sport: I love going to Husky football games. The atmosphere is unreal. I love the unity when we score a touchdown and the stadium erupts with “bow down to Washington.” It shows the pride and love for the school. - Favorite program so far this year: It is hard to pick a favorite event because there has been a diverse group to pick from and there are still many more to look forward to. I really enjoyed the aspect of putting on the Dance and the programming opportunity. My favorite event that I attended was the progressive dinner. I liked being about to travel to each hall and see what they had. It was easy to meet people from different halls while standing in line.
- When you are at the movies, do you prefer candy or popcorn: When I am at the movies, I do not get candy or popcorn. I prefer not to eat in movie theaters.

If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
