Judge Interact Banquet
On April 21 at 7 pm (in the Dance Studio) our Judge Interact-Rotary Club will host its annual benefit for Yomchiir, a village in Sudan.
Last year, we raised over $13,000 towards a grain mill and this year we plan to surpass that goal and get moe than enough to get a water tank and filter for the same village.
At the benefit, there will be a banquet of traditional Sudanese food, and an auction with both Sudanese crafts and SLC events tix/gifts, etc...
Tickets for the "Maji Banquet" ("maji" means water in Sudanese) are $25 for adults and $15 for students K-12. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Darfur Peace Rally
A student at Rowland Hall St, Mark's recently created an organization called Darfur Awareness as a way to "inform everyone about the genocide occurring in Darfur, Sudan."
"Darfur Awareness' first event is a rally to spread information about the genocide and inspire people to make a difference (raise money, write letters to legislators, pass on info, etc). "
"The rally is on the afternoon of April 28 at the City and County building in SLC. It will include some of Utah's best bands, speakers, poetry, booths, petitions, photography, Sudanese culture, fundraising, and other components."
If you are interested in participating at the rally, just tell Ms. Peterson and she'll give you her e-mail... In a couple of weeks, they will have a giant pizza party for all of the kids from the SLC area who respond.
This project will have kind of a work hard/play hard atmosphere--It's a great way to meet people and to improve lives of millions of Sudanese civilians.
Stay tuned for more news on Sudan and Judge's upcoming banquet.
GET OUT THERE & SUPPORT ROWLAND HALL AND SUDAN!!!

More Miscellaneous Announcements
Hey Bulldogs! I've got a couple announcements of things that are coming up:
Although we haven't heard of no any other details yet, Rowland Hall invited us to participate in a Peace Rally for Darfur (keep in mind that we will tell you the date, the place, the time, etc as soon as we ourselves find out more)
Again, the Coffeehouse is on May 3rd! The weather will hopefully be really nice, so we'll get a chance to perform and hang out outside. Besides selling LitMags at the event, the group will participate by "acting out" some of its poems and stories.
There will be a morning breakfast with the German Exchange students on Monday March 19th. in Campus Ministry at 7:20. Everyone is invited to come and hang out with a our new German people!!!
That's it bulldogs, have a great day!!!
