The event was named "Speak" because of the ubiquity of domestic violence coupled with the relative lack of domestic violence awareness. We started off the evening with a speaker, L.Y. Marlow, the founder of Saving Promise Campaign, whose voice resonated throughout the room to illustrate her horrifying and touching story with regard to domestic violence. Four generations of women in her family have been domestically abused. After listening to some shocking figures involving the prevalence of this issue, approximately 100 guests were served dinner (made by our very own sisters). While the guests enjoyed the food, several talented musicians (Dale Kim, Daniel Choi, and Sarah Kim) performed relevant pieces on guitar, vocals, and piano. Proceeds from the charity dinner went to Saving Promise Campaign. Hopefully, sisters can repeat this type of event in the future to create an informative and entertaining evening and spread awareness at the same time!<div><br /></div><div>Connie "Aquarelle" Shih</div>UMCP Sigma Psi Zetahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07455409630471941916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080299223864387755.post-20384994944921058502010-03-30T21:39:00.000-07:002010-03-30T21:45:38.307-07:00SPEAK<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs420.snc3/25306_374356172971_615827971_3713057_4906601_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 504px;" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs420.snc3/25306_374356172971_615827971_3713057_4906601_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs474.snc3/25971_412216471426_745831426_5489150_3528413_n.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Spread awareness & support Saving Promise at Sigma Psi Zeta's SPEAK charity dinner on Monday, April 5, 2010. </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>*Purchase tickets from any SYZter. $8 presale, $10 at the door.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">We hope to see you there!!</span><br /></b><br /></div></div>UMCP Sigma Psi Zetahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07455409630471941916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080299223864387755.post-68500453386190562652010-03-09T21:23:00.000-08:002010-03-09T23:18:41.147-08:00LUL poetry reading/dinner<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKqQYW5UYzeXLX7Zhi_doIb4Ps9ScXBFoL4EhdcD3bfPIqpiGBe3OT46Fy1sZMH3nZIo_7zdRIEolY0O7j-i0Zp5Yqv-b28PXFWyaWmGqCFrl59ZH-Un86L5ZHiYDwbdr-abHV-yEAAN8x/s1600-h/IMG_6059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKqQYW5UYzeXLX7Zhi_doIb4Ps9ScXBFoL4EhdcD3bfPIqpiGBe3OT46Fy1sZMH3nZIo_7zdRIEolY0O7j-i0Zp5Yqv-b28PXFWyaWmGqCFrl59ZH-Un86L5ZHiYDwbdr-abHV-yEAAN8x/s320/IMG_6059.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446899707404007874" /></a><div style="text-align: left;">I went with some of my lovely Sigma sisters to show our support at the LUL dinner.

Sharon, with a group of volunteers and sex trafficking survivors, will be biking for 30 days to 60 villages to spread awarness about the issue.<br /><br />As a volunteer, she is responsible for raising money for her own flight, food, accommodations, and gear. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Please send her your support and keep her in your prayers as she makes this journey!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Donations can be made through her blog:</span><br /><a href="http://www.stoptraffickingcycle.blogspot.com/">http://www.stoptraffickingcycle.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />And please continue to visit her blog and send her love and support as she keeps us updated in the upcoming month!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">WE LOVE YOU SHARON!

During that same period of time, 51,000 women were killed mostly by men who supposedly loved them."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">In 1990, women's groups in Cape Cod, MA were motivated by this statistic to spread the awareness of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Violence Against Women</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"> A woman named Rachel Carey-Harper is credited with the idea for the Clothesline Project. As a visual artist, she was moved by the AIDS quilt and suggested hanging shirts on a clothesline as a medium for raising awareness about domestic violence. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"> Doing laundry is traditionally a women's work and historically women often talked to each other while hanging the clothes to dry. The Project allows women to tell their stories using words and/or artwork to decorate the shirts and hanging them on the clothesline continues that tradition of exchanging information over the clotheslines. Also, symbolically the Clothesline Project represents the </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;" >airing out of society's dirty laundry.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"> The shirts serve an educational purpose for those who may be less aware. It also becomes a healing tool for the maker of the shirt-- she can leave her pain on that shirt and literally turn her back and walk away. For those who are still suffering, the Clothesline Project shows them that they are not alone. And finally, it "breaks the silence" of a very hushed up issue-- it makes a bold statement, one that people passing cannot ignore and forces people to face the problem.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"> The original Clothesline Project took part in October 1990 during an annual <span style="font-weight: bold;">Take Back the Night Rally</span>. Word spread and the Project went from a "single, local, grassroots effort into an intense national campaign."</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">-----------------------------------------------------------<br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"> In 1999, the sisters of SYZ formally adopted our National Philanthropy, to </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >Combat Violence Against Women</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">. As part of our efforts to bring awareness to our community, we host and participate in a variety of events during the month of October, which as I-Ling mentioned, is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The highlight of our busy October schedule is always the Clothesline Project.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> The sisters of Tau Chapter will be at Hornbake Plaza on Wednesday, Oct. 22 from 7am-4pm.</span> T-shirts will be hung around the outside of the library as usual and sisters will be available all day to answer questions and provide more information about Domestic Violence. Please come out and show your support for our cause. <span style="font-style: italic;">Take a look and open your eyes.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">For more info about the Clothesline Project: www.clotheslineproject.org</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">For more info about Sigma's National Philanthropy: www.sigmapsizeta.org</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">For more info about Tau Chapter's Participation: www.studentorg.umd.edu/syz</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Sigma <3</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Sy *Bellini* Kim</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">TG, Spring '05</span>UMCP Sigma Psi Zetahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07455409630471941916noreply@blogger.com0
