That’s right…after weeks of hard work and planning, we have finally arranged for the Consul General of Israel to visit UC Irvine. The event is this Thursday, February 28, 2008 at 6:30PM in Social Science Lecture Hall 100. Space is limited. We are expecting the room to fill, so arrive early if you want a seat. This event is being sponsored by Anteaters for Israel, Alpha Epsilon Pi (North America’s Jewish Fraternity), Hillel: Jewish Student Union, and Epsilon Phi (Jewish Sorority). It was made possibly through the generous help and support of the Consul General of Israel, Caravan for Democracy, Media Watch International, and the Jewish National Fund.
