"MLK Keynote and/or Dinner: Food for body and food for thought."

As most of you may know, Dartmouth is hosting events all week beginning next Monday to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King's work. This is an especially important MLK week, as it coincides with the inauguration of the first African American President of the United States! Certainly the most historical MLK week that any of us will witness for a long time to come.
The week is kicked-off with a keynote address that is always very popular and very amazing (see below). I've been to several of them, and I know first hand that everyone who attends leaves with insight and inspiration. That is why the keynote fills up very rapidly and requires speed in snagging those tickets.
As a North Parker, you are eligible for one of 12 tickets I've reserved so that some of us can go as a group. The keynote starts at 7pm, but there will be pizza, salad, soda - and sparkling water by special request - at my place at 6pm.
Our dinner conversation will be super casual and informal, but - depending on enthusiasm - will be geared towards MLK's principles as they apply to the countries of who is there. In other words, what can the United States learn from other countries, and vice-versa? How different will be race perception for our children's generation in the US, Canada, Argentina?  The pun is, of course, food for body and food for thought. It won't be anything formal, so don't feel intimidated as you won't even need to participate in the discussion!
Anyone can come for dinner. It's cool iff you have your own tickets, or just want to swing by for dinner.  Please sign-up for this event by using the following link:

"Sugar-on-Snow (Maple Toffee)"

All of us are being served with a nice big cup of spring weather and I'm sure we are enjoying it. A common activity during a non-global warmed New England spring season consists of going deep into the woods, drilling a hole in a Maple tree and drinking the liquid inside. In fact, the act of 'sugaring' consists of taking Maple sap and boiling it down to maple syrup. Boiling it some more thickens the water even more and makes Maple taffy (also known as Sugar-On-Snow). Further boiling gives Maple butter.

To honor this natural wonder, all North Parkers are invited to partake in the NP Sugar-on-Snow Party!

What: North Park Sugar-on-Snow!

When: This Sunday!
