Tomorrow night!! If you like blues and food, join the SLC Solidarity Club this Wednesday at 6 PM for a night of celebration and information fundraiser.
Inspired by the National Sleep-Out hosted by the National Gulf Coast Civic Works Project, and in coalition with campuses nation-wide, "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is a colder-climate alternative to showing support for the survivors of Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.
The event will be an entertaining, educational, and enlightening evening of jazz and open mic performances (bring your poetry, music or thoughts to share!) which will accompany a New Orleans-style dinner.
We will be joined by Brenda Stokely from the New York Coalition for Katrina/Rita Survivors and Jo Etta Rogers, a hurricane survivor, who will tell
their stories and give us information about how to get involved in all the different ways that are available. This night is meant to create
a greater community of support for the survivors of Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, specifically at Sarah Lawrence.
It is a fundraiser, so please come with a generous spirit! Listen to good music, eat good food, and learn about ways that you can show our brothers and sisters that we have not forgotten about them.
It is our responsibility to rebuild and remind Katrina/Rita survivors that they are not alone – we are and will continue to be with them, in solidarity.
The event will take place tomorrow--Wednesday November 14th from 6pm until late into the night. It's in Common Ground in Bates Hall. Sarah Lawrence is located at 1 Mead Way, Bronxville, NY, 10708.
