Subject: 5th Annual Christopher Reeve Vigil
From: ssscr@vcu.edu
Date: 10/6/2008 5:01 PM

"It is very tempting to give up, yet we have to find the will to keep going. But
even when we discover what motivates us, we realize that we can’t go the distance
alone." 

The Christopher Reeve "Nothing is Impossible" candlelight vigil will take place on
Thursday, October 9 , 2008 at 8:00 PM outside on the Commons Plaza . This vigil is
in honor of a man who knew that spinal cord injuries would one day be completely
treatable. An avid supporter of embryonic stem cell research, what Christopher
Reeve achieved as an advocate is invaluable and unrepeatable. 

There will be an opening address, followed by brief video tribute and the lighting
of the candles for a moment of silence. Coffee and other refreshments will be provided. 
  
Also, just as a reminder, there is a general meeting on Wednesday, October 8 at
7:30 PM in Richmond Salons III of the Student Common. During the meeting, we will
finish up all preparations for the vigil and beginning planning our next big event,
the election review where we will discuss where the candidates stand and have stood
on the topic of stem cell research. 

See you all soon!
