Hello, all!
I would like to invite you all to the first meeting of Burma Action Movement. I have recently received informational materials from U.S. Campaign for Burma that we can present to the Wellesley Community. The meeting will be on Tuesday, November 13th at the Interim Chapel in Schneider (The red building between Clapp and the Chapel) at 9PM. We have many things to discuss. Please see the meeting agenda below. I know it’s a busy time of the semester for everyone, but the meeting should only last 30-40 minutes. If you cannot attend, please let me know, I will send you the minutes.
