Updates!

Hey everyone!

Just a few updates for you all:

A few RU members went to Iowa Pride Network's Student Day at the Capitol on Wednesday.  We chatted with a number of different Iowa Representatives and Senators including those that represent the Drake area.  We were thanking them for all of their hard work over the past year on the Safe Schools Bill and the Non-Discrimination Bill.  It was a great day of learning about the political process and how easy it is to talk with your political representatives!  

The next event that Iowa Pride Network is putting on is Gay-Straight Alliance Day on April 5th!  This event is bringing together GLBTQI high school and college students and their allies for a 1/2 day conference with free lunch and t-shirt provided!  Sign up: GSA Day.

Don't forget that on Wednesday (March 12th), we will be holding EC elections for the 2008-2009 Rainbow Union EC!  If you are interested, email rainbowunion@drake.edu to get more info.

Also on Wednesday, we will have two of the students that went to MBLGTACC present some of the awesome info they learned at the conference!  We will also take some time to talk about Lawrence King, read up on what happened here if you've not heard.

That's it for now.  Hope you all have a good week!
