*Debate-a-thon for Tsunami Victims*
Next Monday (January 24), the Carleton University Debating Society,
along with the University of Ottawa English Debating Society (EDS),
and other CUSID members from across the country will be holding a
24-hour long debating marathon to raise money for tsunami relief
efforts. Inspired by the efforts of EDS debater Jamie Furniss, who
after winning the World Championships dropped everything to help
relief efforts in Indonesia, we hope to do our part in helping to
relieve the suffering occurring in southeast Asia. You can read
some powerful accounts of Jamie's experiences to date at
*http://www.cusid.ca/community/viewtopic.php?t=6568*.
We will be starting at 9am on Monday at the University of Ottawa's
University Centre and ending at 9am the following Tuesday. If you
would like to help out and take part by taking a shift, or if you
would like to make a contribution, please contact Wayne at
*vpcom(a)carletondebate.org* <mailt:vpcom@carletondebate.org>.
