For those of you that haven’t heard yet,
Our good friend Susan Burton is coming home from Oregon for a couple weeks and we have decided to throw one last hoorah before she heads to AFRICA with the Peace Corps.
She will be working as an HIV outreach worker, helping to create programs to educate children and teenagers about HIV to prevent them from getting it. This will reduce stigma about it, and hopefully influence the teenagers and children to educate one another about the dangers of HIV and how it can lead to the AIDS virus.
This is an especially good time to take action on this problem. South Africa’s former president, Mbeki, refused to believe that HIV can lead to AID’S despite all the facts that were presented to him. However there is a new president,Jacob Zuma, recently elected who is willing to create new policies based on that fact. Susan will be going to assist in these changes and we are all very proud of her!
So we invite all her family, friends, and acquaintances to come out to the Cuda to wish her the best of luck and celebrate such a bold step in her life. There will be drink specials aplenty and an appearance by her favorite band, Lot 74.
The doors are open at 5:00 pm (nice and early so you can get away from the family gatherings if you’d like ;).

Food/Drink from 5pm-8pm
Drink specials from 8pm to 12am
Lot 74 from 9pm to 10pm
