Events in Communitee

[Adamsl...@aol.com]

I think we should think of other people.  Not just ourselves or other GLBT groups.  I believe that a good way to let people know that we are on campus, raise awareness, and as an extra perk get more members is do charity work.  Below you will find Web instructions on how to access the Muscular Dystrophy Association web site & the things that I believe are the most beneficial to look at and 2 major fundraisers we can take part in
