Darfur Rally on Sunday April 29th, 2007 at 1:00pm - Cheesman Park

Wow, you can totally tell it's the end of the semester. I haven't had time to remember to tie my shoes, let alone blog on my blog site. Depressing. But the silver lining is that there are only two more weeks left in the semester, and I'll be free to blog for the whole four weeks until I go to summer shcool.

:)

Right now, four weeks sounds like a gloriously long vacation away from thinking. All joking aside, even though this semester was a tough one, I really will miss some of my classes like Flash and Photoshop. Some classes were a whole lot of fun to attend. Others were more like getting your teeth drilled at a really mean dentists office. The teachers were great, it was the subject matter -- mostly programming -- that kept kicking me from behind when I wasn't looking!

But to the actual heart of the message here.... There is a rally for Darfur in Denver on Sunday. Come if you can!

This message was sent to you by the host of the "Global Days for
Darfur- Denver" event.

This Sunday, April 29th is our opportunity to show our concern and commitment to the people of Darfur. We will be joining with people from 30 countries. This couldn't happen at a more important time because time is running out for the people of Darfur. Four years of genocidal violence has left over 400,000 dead, 2.5 million innocent civilians displaced, and 4 million men, women, and children completely reliant on international aid for survival.

Your participation on Sunday is critical. Please remember that the Rally is being held at Cheesman Park in Denver at 1:00 pm. That is at Franklin and 8th Ave. If you are driving please give yourself plenty of time to find parking. If parking is difficult, come to the pavilion and look for a volunteer to direct you to open spaces.

In addition, there are many buses that go through the park or very close to it. The number 10 bus goes through the park with the 12, 24 and even the 15 close to the park. Here is a map of the buses in the area http://putstuff.putfile.com/73038/9588860

Finally, you may want to bring a blanket to sit on the grass. While the day is expected to be beautiful (sunny and warm) the grass might still be a bit damp.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Please bring as many friends, neighbors and family members as possible. We encourage car pooling.
