Dear friends (and people I thought would be interested),
After a long struggle, we have finally secured a real room and time for the Amnesty International 2008 Global Write-a-thon! It will be held in 319L South Case Hall Tuesday December 9th and Wednesday December 10th from 1-6pm. PLEASE TELL EVERYONE in your student groups and friends too! Also, for those who aren't sure what this event's about, Amnesty supporters around the world will write letters on behalf of prisoners of conscience and human rights defenders at risk of severe human rights violations. We will be writing to governments and others in positions of power on 14 different cases. I really want this to be a success, so please stop by, write a letter (or as many as you want), and save some lives. More information can be found at their website: http://www.amnestyusa.org/individuals-at-risk/global-write-a-thon/page.do?id=1108452
Thank you!
Allie
FEATURE: East Lansing's Really Really Free Market
What is a really really free market?
Basically its a place where campus and community can get together and hold a big garage sale without any money exchanged. It is like a big picnic where everyone brings something to share whether that is stuff, food, music, or a talent.
What will happen?
Bring a chair, table, blanket, or all three and something to share!
- meet members of your community
- take a break studying for exams!
- bring your old stuff from the attic or basement and give it away
- give away your stuff instead of throwing it away when you leave MSU
- eat free food (brought by your community members)
- do some spring cleaning/ clean your dorm room before move-out
- get your bike repaired
- bring a dish to pass
- listen to live music and poetry
- bring a talent to perform
- play kickball and other kids games
- pick up some cool free stuff
