This year the Organization of Arab Students is presenting the SYRIAN BENEFIT BALL as its yearly philanthropy project! The Ball is a formal, non-political event that will unite everyone under a common cause! All proceeds will be sent to the United Nations' Human Refugee Agency's Syria Fund. The night will begin with a catered Arab dinner by Jerusalem restaurant and speaker Ammar Abdulhamid, a Syrian-born human rights activist. Next will be a performance by the Philadelphia Syrian Debka group, and finally a Djed BALL that will feature both Arabic and English pop-culture music. **Tickets are on sale online (http://umdtickets.universityticket s.com/user_pages/event.asp?id=188&cid=34) and at Stamp Hoff Theater** They will be $15 at pre-sale before February 7th, and $20 for general admissions afterwards. -- Ashley Genene Brown University of Maryland, College Park c/o 2015 Government & Politics Major International Development & Conflict Management Minor [log in to unmask]
