<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Assalamu Alaikum,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The MIT List Center has put a lot of effort to get
this presentation on campus and I'd really encourage everyone to support it by
attending the opening reception and the workshop. This
exhibition, in it's approach, is similar to the Palestine Art Exhibit that
we had last year. It's a creative and peaceful means for Palestinian
cultural and political awareness and it has the potential to be a very
impactful presentation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again, I do hope that our Muslim and Arab
communities show support for such an event by taking some time to attend.
