Monday: Poverty Simulation Dinner 7pm Calvary church. Everyone will be served dinner depending on what 'class' they are randomly assinged. This will give people a chance to see the disparities between economic classes first hand. Not only will the food be different and accurate to what a person of each class can afford, but how people are treated will be as well.

Tuesday: Staking and letter wrting. We will have signs on Bascom Hill all day with facts about poverty, substandard housing, and Habitat. Letter writing will be in Calvary from 7-9. Letter writing is not only vital to our chapter but also to Habitat for Humanity as a whole. Representatives do take note and we have the power to change the lives of millions of Americas by simply sending a letter. This is a very fun event and a great life long skill to learn.
