Feb. 27: Constantine’s Sword (2008). 95 min. This film by
Oscar-nominated documentarian Oren Jacoby, is an astonishing exploration
of the dark side of Christianity, following acclaimed author (National
Book Award) and former priest James Carroll on a journey of remembrance
and reckoning. His search for truth leads him to confront persecution
and violence today and in the Church’s past. At its heart, this film is
a detective story, and an appeal for religious and cultural tolerance
and respect. http://constantinessword.com/

"HAVE A HEART" FOOD AND FUND DRIVE
Communication Department Student Group Launches "Have A Heart" Food and Fund Drive Benefiting Community Food Bank
Each year the period right after the Holidays is a difficult time for the Community Food Bank. Food supplies are always low, but the current economy makes the situation worse than ever. As you may know, the Community Food Bank not only supports Fresno but also outlying areas in the San Joaquin Valley that might be in need.
The "Have a Heart" food and fund drive was launched last February near Valentines Day. When the Fresno State community learned that every dollar donated allowed the Food bank to purchase $8 in food, they generously donated. Last year the campus donated over $1,200, allowing the Community Food bank the power to purchase almost $10,000 worth of food for needy families throughout Central California
This year's "Have a Heart" drive will take place from Tuesday, Feb. 17- Friday, Feb.20. Students from the Professional Communication Association will be taking donations in the Free Speech area those 4 days between 11:30 and 1:00. Every donation will make a huge difference!
If you prefer to write a check, please make it out to the Community Food Bank and send it to the Communication Department, Attention Craig Fowler - PCA. If you have questions, please contact Craig Fowler at crfowler@csufresno.edu or Evan Halstead at evan.halstead@gmail.com
