The majority of the members of SAAC came together to enjoy a fantastic dinner and a movie.  This event was considered a scholarship themed event based on The Hunger Games.  Attendees were encouraged to read at least the first book of the series prior to attending the event.  Each member cooked and brought a dish inspired by recipes from The Unofficial Cookbook of The Hunger Games.  While dining on the scrumptious dinner, we all watched The Hunger Games.  The event was very enjoyable and considered a great event!
