Our Dream for Darfur event was a huge success, thanks to all who volunteered and participated! I would like to thank our Indy Save Darfur group for the countless hours of planning! Thank you to students at Lawrence Central, Broadripple, Brebeuf, Cathedral and Westfield High Schools, and to IU, Purdue and IUPUI.
This isn't the end though. Our group must continue to act!
I will post our next meeting time in the next week or so. We welcome new members. We would also like to help students get Save Darfur chapters started at their schools and continue to work with students who have groups going (Amnesty, STAND, etc).
Check out www.indystar.com to read about yesterday's event.
Nuvo will be posting a video of the event on You Tube in the coming week :)
The Indianapolis group is in full gear planning the October 14th torch relay. We need people to reach out to their communities and realms of influence.
If you can serve as a point person at your work place, school, church, etc, please email me (carollynncollins@yahoo.com).
I will mail you information to pass out to the people you know regarding the October 14th event.
Thanks!
Carol
I just wanted to let Amy know that everyone is welcome to our event. It isn't a fund raiser, so there are no expectations of people giving money at the event.
We hope you can come!
We had 18 people show up to our first meeting that was held this past Monday night. We decided our purpose is 3 fold: educate ourselves, raise awareness in the community, then activate others to work for Darfur.
We are scheduling a screening of "Darfur Diaries" to be held at Common Ground Christian Church in August. The date is still be confirmed, so I'll let you know as soon as possible.
