WHO: Sandra Wheeler’s Communication Studies Students at Cosumnes River Community College

WHAT: Earth Day Celebration and Fund and Awareness Raising for 2006 Philippine Landslide Disaster Relief. Gifts with donation!

WHERE: Cosumnes River Community College, 8401 Center Parkway, Sacramento, California, 95823 in the Quad across from the library, middle of campus.

WHEN: April 20th from 930am—Noon

WHY: Students can Make Change with Change!!!

Join us this Thursday, 4/20 as we share our research findings about Earth Day, the fragile connection between the environment and natural disaster prevention and the recent horrific landslide on Leyte Island, where US Navy Ships have arrived today. Our goal is to raise awareness of the need in the Philippines and promote Earth Day by considering ways to prevent and assist with natural disasters throughout the world. As communication scholars, we feel a responsibility to promote the need and raise awareness, as well as accept small donations in exchange for snacks and prizes—spare change students might have left over from their bus faire or lunch money. CRC Communication Students are once again proving that STUDENTS CAN MAKE CHANGE WITH CHANGE

Blog Due by April 25th: Coms 321 and 301 only
