Girl Rising is coming to the Old Town Theater

The Alexandria chapter of Dining for Women (I am the chapter leader) wants to show the amazing documentary Girl Rising at our newly-renovated Old Town theater on Wednesday May 29, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. - and we can do it only if we get 100 seats reserved by May 17. I need each of you to help make this happen! A little background:

The film was created by 10x10, a global campaign to educate and empower girls. 

Girl Rising tells the stories of 9 girls from around the world who face -and overcome - unbelievable obstacles on the path toward getting an education. Each girl's story was written by an author and is narrated by a cast of great actresses, including Meryl Streep, Kerry Washington, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, and others. The cinematography is stunning and I really am excited to see the film, and to be involved in a global effort for girls' education.
