supper club
The owners of More Than Muffins, on Classen, closed that popular restaurant this year and have recently opened a new one, Cafe de Brazil, on NW 11th and Walker. It opened to rave reviews in November and we will sample their fine South American cuisine on Saturday, January 14, at 8 pm. Our activity for the evening will be before Supper Club. We will also go to the 6 pm OCU v. SNU basketball game at OCU’s Freede Center, NW 27th between Kentucky and Blackwelder. These are two of the top ranked women’s teams in the NAIA and it will be an exciting game. If you would like to carpool to the game and then to dinner, show up at Herland at 5:30 pm.
video night
Join us on Saturday, January 28th at 7 pm as we view WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price, a brilliant new film by Robert Greenwald that tells the real story of the corrosive effects that Wal-Mart wreaks upon the communities in which it operates and the men and women it employs.
This is an engrossing, muckraking documentary … but if you’re expecting an angry diatribe, you’re going to be disappointed. WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the everyday lives of families struggling to fight goliath. From a small business owner in the Midwest to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the intensely personal stories of an assault on families and American values.
scrabble night
Did you know a Canadian mathematician won the 2005 World Scrabble Championship by scoring 140 points for the word twistier? We might not have any plays that score quite that high, but you never know. Join us on Saturday, January 21, at 6 pm as we hit the boards for an evening of fun and mental challenge. Remember, pizza is ordered as soon as most of the players have arrived.
