Moving right along... updates and more.

O.K. everyone. Here's the update for upcoming events and headway we've made:

  • Wednesday, November 8th (tomorrow), in Student Union room 206 we will be having a volunteer orientation for all those interested in helping out at various collection events, etc. We hope to meet many like-minded students who are ready to take action!
  • Monday, November 13th in the Student Union courtyard from 11 a.m - 2 p.m. we will be having one of our main events, complete with a panel discussion from 12 a.m. - 1 p.m. with a few students here at K-State from Sudan. They have been kind enough to offer to talk with us about the conflict and to take any questions we all might have. So, thank you to them! Don't miss this unique and invaluable opportunity to get an insider's perspective on the Darfur conflict!
    • Also, we will have collection bins set up, so please bring donations!
  • Sunday, December 3rd numerous churches around the Manhattan area will be hosting donation events where local residents will be able to drop off donations. We will keep you posted on this event...

We've made some good monetary progress as well:

  • During a weekend event at Sunset Zoo, local residents donated a total of $165 to our cause.
  • Wal-Mart has offered to donate $25 dollars
It is still early and we've made some great headway. Thanks to all those who have offered and are offering their support, the level of appreciation is beyond words.
