This is a little while down the road, but I am planning an event called International Cafe which falls during the week of International Education week November 17-21. The Cafe will be that Monday night the 17th starting at 7pm in the Blue Ridge Ballroom of the Union. There will be free food, performances by the international students and hopefully faculty, and towards the end a dance for everyone to participate in. It will be really fun and I hope everyone can make it. Peace, Bri

A Servant of Two Masters
by Carlo Goldoni
Directed by Joel Williams
Valborg Theatre
November 19-23, 7pm
Adults $10
Students/Children $6
The action of The Servant of Two Masters, one of the world's great comedies, centers on how an out-of-work servant, Truffaldino, tries to make his way in life by hiring himself simultaneously to two employers, keeping each ignorant of his other job. He unknowingly thrusts himself into a world of disguises, broken marriage contracts, duels and incorrectly delivered letters. The struggle of this upwardly mobile innocent to keep afloat creates a 'man-versus-society' comment as hilariously valid today as it was in 1745.

The judges said they will only take 15 submissions, 5 for each category. For any more information please visit imovie.appstate.edu
