performs autobiographical pieces. "Weather" is not a theater production 
or a play, but a night of truth. As a writing group, we push each other 
to write honestly and without pretense, to dig deeper into what doesn't 
get said in the day-to-day. Come to our show for a break from the small 
talk: Listen to our stories and think about your own.

RSVP tohttp://www.jooksongs.com/rsvp. <http://www.jooksongs.com/rsvp>
A $2 suggested donation would be much appreciated.

*****Spread the Word to End the Word*
Wed 3/28. 10am - 2pm.
Old Campus, Cross Campus, Commons

Spread the Word to End the Word is a national campaign advocating the 
elimination of the derogatory use of the r-word ("retard(ed)") from 
everyday speech and promoting the acceptance and inclusion of people 
with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Our goals are to promote awareness of the stigmatization and 
offensiveness of the r-word and other derogatory words, encourage people 
to think before they speak and use language that respects the dignity of 
all people, and increase awareness for the larger movement for social 
justice for people with disabilities.

This Wednesday come sign pledges to not use the r-word, and get 
stickers, buy t-shirts and tank tops promoting the message!
