PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTENING THEIF (PG)
Action, Adventure, Fantasy and Adaptation. 2 hr. It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Starring: Logan Lerman, Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean
Director: Chris Columbus

This is an informative multimedia presentation which includes various dances, drum rhythms and songs from Haiti.

The audience will have a chance to participate and learn a Haitian dance. A silent auction will acompany this event!
100% proceeds will go to Save the Children: Haiti
Save the Children is the world's largest independent organisation for children, making a difference to children's lives in over 120 countries. It is made up of 29 national organisations with a global staff of more than 14,000 working together. For 90 years, national Save the Children organisations have committed themselves to bring about a better world.
Recenty, international attention has turned to Haiti, where a natural disaster has laid waste to the already poverty stricken country of Haiti. More than 200,000 people have died as a result of the earthquake and aftershocks that struck. 3 million people -- more than half of them children - have been affected.
With vast areas of Port-au-Prince lying in ruins, Save the Children is helping the families living in temporary make-shift camps. We plan to reach 800,000 people with emergency assistance and we are already planning longer term rehabilitation and reconstruction. With your help we can make a difference.
