Movie Synopsis:
Three weeks before the show, PennYo learns that the SAC Budget Advisory Board is cutting groups--Penn's budgetary problems run deep and thick, and the performing arts groups (and possibly PennYo) might have to pay the price! After striking a risky deal with the budget advisory board, PennYo must put on the best concert ever, or run the risk of being eliminated forever.
Ticket Rates:
$8 on the Walk (Mon, 4/16 to Fri/ 4/20)
$10 at the Door
$7 for groups of 8 or more
Contact any PennYo member for tickets! RSVP on the Facebook Event page.

One serving of kimbap is about 10 pieces and will cost $6. In order to sign up for this handmade, delivered-to-your-door treat, please sign up on the following Google Form by 10AM on Sunday, 4/22 and delivery will be sometime in the evening on Sunday 4/22.
Penn Speaks for Autism After-School Program
Are you interested in working with autistic children in the Philadelphia area? Apply to be a volunteer for the Penn Speaks for Autism After-School Program for the fall semester! The program is a 3-hour weekly commitment that is intended to foster a meaningful relationship between our Penn volunteers and autistic children from the local community. Prior experience is not necessary, as training sessions will be organized prior to the program's launch. This is a great opportunity for those considering careers in healthcare or education. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at pennspeak...@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
Love,
PPA Board
