[Membroj] Esperanto promotion at University of Maryland

[Jed Meltzer]

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that our invited Esperanto promotion at University of
Maryland is next Monday Nov 16 at 4pm.  Information about where to meet is
below, and you can call Rodrigo the organizer or me at 203-668-2187.
 Basically we will be manning an information table and telling people about
Esperanto.  These are mostly UMD people who are interested in international
affairs and languages, hence their attending this event.  I made some stupid
"What is E-o" flyers.  Please whoever can make it to this, come and help put
in the good word for E-o.  And please bring anything you might have that
makes Esperanto look cool - books, magazines, trinkets, photos, etc.  We'll
meet at 3:40pm to get set up.  Please do try to come at 3:40 - I need
volunteers to help fold flyers!

-Jed

Hi Jed,

The event will take at the Language House (official university name: St
Mary's Hall) at the multipurpose room, which is a fancy name for the
basement. There as campus map for the University, but it's not that great.
Here it is anyway: http://www.parking.umd.edu/themap/ (PDF version:
http://www.transportation.umd.edu/pdf/2006pdfmap.pdf )

You can search for St Mary's Hall there to know where it is on campus. It is
almost in front of the Student Union.

If you're driving here: There is a visitors parking garage right next to the
union. It is also very close to the Language House.

If you're coming by metro: Get off at the College Park metro station on the
green line. There is a free shuttle (the only red bus you'll see) which goes
from the metro station to campus. The last stop of the shuttle before it
turns around is in front of the Student Union. Once you get off there,
you'll be a block away from the language house.

So let's meet at 3:40 in the basement of the language house. We'll get you
guys settled and ready to go by 4, which is when our thing starts. If you
have any questions or are lost, feel free to email or call me on my cell
phone: 512-466-1643. Trinkets are good and welcome. See you Monday!

Cheers

Rodrigo
