Tabling Tomorrow: Plaza of the Americas 12pm-2pm

[Caroline Pilgrim]

Lifers,
Thanks for being at the meeting this week! We got a lot done and
we're really excited about SILENT NO MORE next month! Look for the
facebook ad because it'll be up and running March 30th til the event!
Also, mark attending on the facebook event (which you can find on the
Pro-Life Alliance page).

TOMORROW: Come table at the FIRST AMENDMENT FAIR. It's a chance to
voice the Pro-life position w/o opposition. Students who recieve
free food, lose there "free speech" rights and have to interact with
different groups tabling without "free speech."

Meet in the Plaza at 11:50 if you want to help set up. 407-473-5679.

Have a wonderful weekend and be contacting profs, friends, churches,
etc. about SILENT NO MORE.

-Caroline
