KONY 2012 - Invisible Children Film Screening

Chapter Event posted by Scott M B Gustafson on February 27, 2012

Please see the Facebook page for this event. It has all the details. https://www.facebook.com/events/163288303788177/ Joseph Kony is the world's worst war criminal. He has abducted more than 30,000 children in Central Africa and forced them to be child soldiers. For the last 26 years, he and his crimes have been essentially invisible. Nobody has stopped him. KONY 2012 is about bringing Joseph Kony and his crimes into the light. Once people know who he is and the unspeakable crimes he continues to commit, we believe they will unite to see him arrested. WHAT?

Follow up from Tuesday's chapter meeting

Event Minutes posted by Scott M B Gustafson on February 24, 2012

Thank you to everyone who came to the meeting on Tuesday. I was really impressed by the turnout and great energy everyone brought. We discussed several leads on new projects for the chapter and ideas for future opportunities. Think Tank Writing about reconstruction of urban areas after devastation from war or natural disaster, Lebbeus Woods make a point about the architect being a generator or initiator of projects that I think is really inspiring for us as a chapter. We need not always wait for someone to bring us a project ready to go.
