Weekly Calendar
Colloquia
Think of it as guiltless
chocolate: The more you eat, the more money will go
toward sponsoring a Teach for America class's journey from
Mississippi to
Washington, D.C. Treats for tasting include candy, ice
cream and pudding.
Tempting, too, are a raffle of gift certificates and a
silent auction. See Special
Events.
