Announcements
If you live in Texas, California, Missouri, Nebraska, or Iowa, World Vision Experience may be coming to a city near you in February or March. WVE is an “interactive, walkthrough experience that will transport you into the heart of Africa…and the life of a child.” The Experience “gives you the opportunity to see, hear, and experience the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time: AIDS.” The exhibit combines a “stirring audio tour with captivating photography.” Prepare to be moved.
Miscellany
Want to be in the loop about “hot button” topics and current events without having to read the newspaper or watch the news? Sign up for the WeeklyDIVA e-newsletter by DiscussionDIVAS. “The WeeklyDIVA is delivered every Friday morning (no email overload here!), just in time for you to survive a cocktail party, dinner with friends, or that next job interview.” Yep, you can “feel smarter in five minutes or less.”
