Undeterred by the cloudy weather and light sprinkling, students gathered at the Main Quad on Thursday Nov. 1 to take part in Club Expo.
With the delicious aroma of fresh, hot cotton candy, many clubs set up information booths to reel people in.
The Inte Club Council, ICC, sponsored event had a wheel of fortune where you could win an In-N-Out coupon, a $5 Jamba Juice gift card, or a ticket to the Mystic Dance. Complimentary sunglasses and candy was passed out to all attendees.
The Desi Student Association sold mango lassis and delicious looking samosas complete with tamarind sauce and coriander sauce.
Marvelous Magic club promoted by performing magic tricks. In a simple but interesting trick, Claudia Nute, 17, pulled out the four aces from a deck of cards. She placed an ace on the top, shuffled the deck, and magically proceeded to pull it out again.
Manning the microphone, ICC Chairman Mike Hoang, enthusiastically made announcements throughout the two-hour event, including the Mystic Dance. Nov. 16.
“Don’t forget to bring your masks,” he yelled.
The ladies at the IMAAS, Integral Movement for AB 540 Student Success, table had colorful face paint that symbolized the sugar skulls for Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. They gave out candy and pins that said “NO Human Being is ‘Illegal'” or “I Vote for Dreamers.”
Between the giveaways and colorful tables, Club Expo provided information to students about on campus activities and offered a glimpse of the wonderful diversity of De Anza clubs.
