Events Around the Nation

Here are just a few of the things people like you are doing around the country:

WASHINGTON, DC: All-female acapella group "Treble in Paradise" will be performing at American University this Saturday, September 29th, in support of AU's AIDS Walk Washington team. "Treble" is one of the top female vocal groups on the East Coast, and proceeds from the show will go to fight AIDS. What could be better? For more information on how you can attend or how you can do something like this, contact Vanessa Mueller.

BATON ROUGE, LA: Students at Louisiana State University (LSU) have created Students On Target (SOT), a group that offers alternatives to activities which generate a high risk of alcohol consumption. SOT promotes responsible choices with alcohol, thus creating a safer environment for everyone. One of the most anticipated events on the LSU campus is put on by SOT--a substance-free concert and festival known as "Groovin' on the Grounds." Last year, the show attracted stars like Chevelle, and Marc Broussard. To find out more, and how you can bring SOT to your school, E-mail them at SOT@lsu.edu.

WASHINGTON, DC:
Innovative youth group DC SCORES (part of "America Scores") "
bridges the academic and athletic development of youth by providing them with creative writing and soccer activities each day after-school and for five weeks during the summer." On Saturday, September 29th, the autumn season of DC SCORES kicks off with their "Fall Frenzy," a day-long event complete with soccer tournament, arts and crafts, and fun times with DC area kids. The group needs your help--DC SCORES is looking for volunteers to work as referees, face painters, help with set-up, and encourage the kids. The event lasts from 7AM to 3PM on Saturday, and you can contact Tohry Petty to offer your services, find out more, or bring America Scores to your hometown.

These are just a few of the THOUSANDS of events going on this weekend. Send us what you are doing at your campus or community, and we will post it on here so that others may follow. E-mail us!
