Her foundation is inviting 700 community members from the Concord area to the Nashoba B rooks event. This is a perfect chance to showcase Rotary to folks who may not be familiar with our amazing work.   If you want to share this inform ation with others in our District\, I have attached  the final press rele ase and flier for the event at Nashoba Brooks School on October 28th and the flier for the event in Wellesley on October 29th. I believe this repre sents an opportunity to promote “membership”\, keeping in mind the rec ent “brainstorming” that revealed how meaningful it can be to bring a prospective new member to hear and see what Rotary does (versus just atten ding a weekly meeting). Therefore\, I have copied some of the folks on the membership committee if they want to share this event with membership cha irs and other district membership committee members.   The event\, an exc lusive sneak preview of the work-in-progress documentary What Tomorrow Br ings\, will feature live Q&A with award-winning filmmaker Beth Murphy of P rinciple Pictures and humanitarian Razia Jan of Razia’s Ray of Hope Foun dation\, a 501C3 based in Wellesley\, MA which founded and operates a scho ol for young girls in Afghanistann called the Zabuli Education Center. Her nonprofit foundation has just broken ground on the first-ever college for women in rural Afghanistan\, which is sited next to the Zabuli Education Center. The presentation will highlight Razia’s work and feature excerpt s from the film. Razia Jan\, a longtime Rotarian\, is truly an inspiring e xample of how one person can change the lives of so many in need.     I was fortunate to see this presentation at the recent Zone training – thi s presentation was the opening plenary session for the Zone event. It’s definitely worth attending – she is inspiring and amazing! No one will r egret attending one of these presentations!   Please share this with your network and ask folks to reserve their complimentary seat at www.raziasr ayofhope.org DTEND:20151029T003000Z DTSTAMP:20260831T055600Z DTSTART:20151028T230000Z LOCATION:Nashoba Brooks School SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Razia's Ray of Hope presentation by Concord UID:497f2ad4-2cf3-4fae-85be-567543effb08 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
