Winona State students Thirty plays in one hour? going to Hmong National Conference in North Carolina Laura Gossman WINONAN

Winona State University's Hmong American Student Association has been savina money for the past three years to go to thet' Hmong National Development Con- ference. The group has finally saved up enough money to go to this year's conference in Charlotte, N.C. Fundraising has been such a long Xiong Xiong process for us because our events are usu- ally free, said Hmong student association president Xiong Xiong,. The association puts on the annual Hmong New Year for students and the Winona community for no admission. "In the past, we have tried to host soc- cer and volleyball tournaments, but they haven't generated a lot of funding," said Xiong. Xiong said students want prize money, not trophies, for winning the tournaments. According to Xiong, the association can't afford to give away money. Pakou Chang "Another problem was finding a field that didn't cost too much to rent," said Xiong. The association is still looking for dona- tions to help make it cheaper for the seven members that will be going to the confer- ence April 1. "A real-estate agent and two insurance agents from the Twin Cities might sponsor us, but nothing is definite," said Xiong. "It would be nice because it would make the trip a little cheaper for us." Xiong said the group is trying to cut cor- Khong Yang ners to help keep costs down. "Each member will be paying $200 out-of-pocket to go on the three-day trip," said Xiong. The students will not be making any other stops while in Charlotte due to the lack of funds and the lack of time.
