On March 2012, Andy Nguyen set out to let the world know what MEMO thought of Unity.
Please watch to discover what he found out.
(Props to Andy Nguyen for this AMAZING video. MEMO won 1st place ($250 reward) for this video!)
MEMO would like to thank all the sponsors, volunteers, and philanthropists who have participated in our Sixth Annual Banquet.
With your help, we were able to raise an ASTOUDING ~$25,000 in profits in order to fund our four programs!
This has been the BEST year yet, and without many of you, it wouldn’t have been possible.
We would also like to recap our Sponsorship Run, which was also AMAZING this year as well.
Local Vietnamese businesses donated more than $3,000 to support our cause, all because we were able to expose our genuine compassion for helping people.
The MEMO board sincerely believes that you all deserve a pat on the shoulder, for these achievements are not only breaking our records, but also UCI/UCLA/UCSD’s records for club fundraising across campus.
Thank you all, as you all have started our sixth mission not with a fizzle, but with a bang.
GOOOOO MEMO 6G!!!

MEMO is a non-profit organization that focuses on providing impoverished people in Vietnam the foundation to raise themselves out of poverty. We accomplish this through fundraisers and technology transfers to Vietnam.
So throughout this year, we have been doing awesome events to raise thousands of dollars for our programs. We would like to extend the invitation and ask for your support.
On Saturday March 3 (between week 8 and week 9) from 7-9 pm, we are renting out a karaoke room at Max Karaoke Studio. For only $15/person you are able to sing to your heart’s content to thousands of songs. Bring friends and spread the word!
Thank you for your support! =)

For those who have, please watch the video to reminisce about our journey assisting a world in constant need of help.
Again, thanks for your help.
We look forward to working with many of you on our next big mission, MEMO 6G!

Last year, student’s from MEMO were able to work with doctors, dentists, and pharmacists in order to reach out to the local community in Westminster. This year, we’re doing it again! Suffice to say, MEMO is excited to host their second annual Health Fair January 15th, this coming Sunday!
LOCATION: Westminster Civic Center, 8200 Westminster Blvd. Westminster, CA 92683
TIME: 11 AM – 4 PM on January 15th, 2012
PLEASE NOTE TIME AND LOCATION ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE HEALTH FLYER ABOVE.
For members participating, if you have not signed up, you may do so here. Also, remember to fill out the HIPPA forms before participating in the Health Fair. Please see more details in the Events page for proper attire and other necessary information such as training day.
It’s truly a great experience to be working alongside with these health professionals to help those who cannot afford proper healthcare. See you there!!!
