Darfur Fall 2007

DarfurFast:

On Wednesday, December 5th, members of IROVT fasted and donated the
money that would have been spent on food throughout the day to peacekeeping and sustainability
efforts for the region. That night, Gillie's restaurant in downtown Blacksburg
has kindly offered to provide the club dinner.

We raised over $1,000 thanks to all of your efforts! Thank you all!
