Previous Week's Speaker: Cafe Hunger

Today's speakers were Maryln McPheron & Ermine King speaking to us about Cafe Hunger and effort to end World Hunger in conjunction with World Food Day.

On October 13, George McGovern will be speaking at the Pasquerilla Spititual center in his continuing effort to end world hunger.

In addition, Cafe Hunger is an event that will take place October 13 from 5:30-7:30 at Cafe Laura in the Mateer building.Tickets might still be available but they are goign fast so you'll have to act soon to get them. Writing about in my poor prose will not do the event justoice, Teh event seemed to be on e that is totally worthwhile and fun. Numerous posters and art will be displayed that will be used to explore the messages to end hunger locally and internationally. In addition the Essence of Joy Choir will perform and there will be an interactive theatre piece performed by Penn State student actors.

Proceeds from the event go to the Food Bank of State College and Heifer International.
