2nd GBM

Hello Readers,

Our 2nd GBM was yesterday, Wednesday, November 17th.

We watched a BBC documentary entitled "Out of the North", had a short discussion, and talked about our upcoming GBM and upcoming fundraisers.

"Out of the North" follows two groups of North Korean refugees in China on their journey to freedom.

In case you missed it, you can watch "Out of the North" below:

For fundraising, we will be selling concessions on Saturday, November 27th, and having a bake sale with KSA on Thursday, December 2nd.

LiNK will be baking gingerbread cookies on Tuesday, November 30th, decorating them at our 3rd (and last!) GBM (time and place TBD) on Wednesday, December 1st, and selling them on Thursday, December 2nd.
Come out and meet the e-board and fellow LiNKers!

We will include more detailed information regarding bake sale shifts, etc. in future emails, so if you would like to be put on our list-serv, please email us at umcp.link @ gmail.com, or leave us a comment below.

Have an awesome Thanksgiving!

- Lois
