[Imc-web] UCIMC 10 Year Anniversary Celebration on December 5th

[Nicole Pion]

It's the UCIMC's 10 year Anniversary - mark your calendar for December 5,
2009 & come celebrate!   All events take place at the UCIMC 202 S. Broadway
Ave Urbana, Il 61801.

Back in 1999, several local unions donated money to send 18 people from UC
to Seattle to protest WTO meetings.  They came back and founded UC-IMC on
Sept. 24, 2000.  Ten years later, UCIMC members continue building the
Indymedia movement both in CU and globally.  Come help us celebrate the
victories and remember the struggles of the past 10 years.  If you have
pictures, video footage, artwork, or stories, come prepared to share - we'll
be documenting the history of the Indymedia movement and everyone's story is
important!

Here's the schedule:

2pm-5pm: Free Youth and Community Media Workshops:
