Just heard a vigil will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) for Nepal earthquake victims. Here are the details as we know them:
• Location is the EMU Amphitheater on the UO campus from 7 to 8:30 pm (set up will be at 6 pm, take down from 8:30 to 9 pm).
• Speakers will include students and community members from Nepal, a Nepalese physician from Springfield who is leaving soon to assist with the medical relief effort, city of Eugene Sister City Committee members (Kathmandu and Eugene are sister cities), and possibly a UO student who was on Mount Everest when the earthquake hit (if she returns to Eugene in time).
• After the speakers are done, attendees will be invited to: a) light a candle, b) speak a word or two in condolence or share briefly, c) write a note or sign the event banner, d) donate to a Kathmandurelief.org and details on benefiting relief organization will be provided.
