[Newspoetry] Re: IMF/WB Forum

[Molly Stentz]

We've made some slight changes to the program, and I wanted to let you all
know. We will now be screening the documentary film 'Showdown in Seattle'
from 4-5pm and the discussion/presentations will be from 5-7pm. We hope
to also have video footage from DC to compare with the Seattle footage. If
you'd only like to attend the presentations, plan on arriving at 5pm.
Thanks!
