Local Events of the Worthwhile Variety 3.22.09

I copied this from the message board. If it's the Stephanie I'm thinking of, her recommendation will be spot on.

First, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v7ZQUzr0yo

A week of presentations and panels will be held in the Teleconference Room of the Foley Library at Gonzaga University (see schedule below), in conjunction with a photography exhibit in the rare book room of Foley Library, 3rd Floor. Photographs taken by women at the Women's Hearth, a drop-in center for homeless and low-income women in downtown Spokane, are part of this exhibit. Monday's presentation will be a repeat of this afternoon's and will include the above clip. If you go to no other talks, please see this one. If you are interested in social justice issues, or if you work with homeless men and women, you really should hear Gerry speak and see some of his videos.
