1. Event Review – Walk for life counter protest went well on Saturday. Sign making party on Friday night garnered minimal attendance but we did have a productive hour making new signs and sorting through our old signs. About 35 counter protestors met the 2000 walk for lifers at the capitol. It was very cold so the event was shortened. We see them again next year and continue to defend women’s rights to to choose!
2. Upcoming Event – We have two events coming up. A movie and a protest. Young Ones is a movie we are showing on Friday at 7. We are not sure of the quality of the movie but we are looking forward to a discussion.
