New Year!!!

Hey guys,
Welcome to our new blog for the Politics and International Affairs committee. We have some great things lined up for this semester! First we kicked off the year with pariticpation in the Whitman Walker AIDS Walk in Washington DC. It was such a blast and we prepared for it by listening to one of the directors of Valley AIDS lead an interesting discussion on the development of AIDS in the Shenandoah Valley. We will have a follow up speaker from Rockingham Memorial Hospital discuss AIDS with us and the rest of Ashby Hall. The next big project we have coming up is our program for the United Nations. We will have food from around the world and lead discussions and a presentation on the UN and countries our residents are from. Another project we have in mind is sponsering a child through an organization and we will have more info on that later. Movie nights are going to be showcased this semester, one we are all excited about is a showcase of movie based on the Palestine/Israeli conflict. So we have a lot of fun stuff lined up and I hope to get all your comments on our projects! Thanks and I look forward to a new year with everyone!!!!
