Stuffed Hearts, Hosted By The Taiwanese Student Association Club
Description: The event that I attended is called Stuffed Hearts and was hosted by the Taiwanese Student Association Club. The event was held on February 14, also known as Valentine’s day.

The club members weren’t really organized because they didn’t test out making the hearts before presenting them to us.
