Two important upcoming events:

1) Please join us tomorrow (Thurs) night for a free screening of 
'Invisible Children' (+ some tastey Indian food). Here are the details:

Invisible Children FREE Movie Screening

Thursday, September 27, 2007
Time: 8:00p–9:30p
Location: 1-190

In the spring of 2003, three young Americans traveled to Africa - what 
they found was a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them. A story where 
children are weapons and children are the victims.

Invisible Children exposes the effects of a 20 year-long war on the 
children of Northern Uganda. These children live in fear of abduction by 
rebel soldiers, and are being forced to fight as a part of violent army. 
This wonderfully reckless documentary is fast paced, with an MTV beat, 
and is something truly unique. To see Africa through young eyes is 
humorous and heart breaking, quick and informative - all in the very 
same breath.

See this film, you will be forever changed
