Cyclone Nargis recently hit Burma and left as many as 128,000 people dead and 2.5 million people impacted due to horrible resource mismanagement and negligence by the military dictatorship.

How can you help? Come to a happy hour benefit! The money will be donated to a relief organization working inside Burma that has been by-passing the military junta to make sure that food, medicine and supplies actually reach people in need.We hope that you will be able to join us in solidarity with the people of Burma.

The benefit will be on Wednesday, May 28, from 6:30-9 PM, at Meze in Adams Morgan (2437 18th Street NW).

A $15 donation at the door includes one drink, appetizers and the chance to win door prizes in a raffle. There will also be drink specials throughout the event.

A prominent member of the Burmese community in DC will speak, and you'll have the chance to network with other globally-minded professionals.

I hope that you can join us on the 28th! If you have any questions, feel free to email cgoodlander@gmail.com.
