Dinner and a Movie 2012
The Victory Environment Committee will once again host a Dinner and Movie series on the third Saturday of the months of January, February, and March. The 2012 movie series will focus on the issues of water supply and quality and dinner each evening will be provided by a local restaurant. The Dinner and a Movie series will take place at The Warren, 4400 Osseo Road beginning at 6 p.m. for dinner and 6:30 p.m. for the movie. Each movie is followed by discussion. The dinner and movie are free but a $5 donation to ViNA is suggested for dinner.
The first Dinner and a Movie will be on Saturday, January 21. This is a double feature of King Corn and Big River. King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. The sequel film, Big River, explores the myriad forms of pollution sent downstream by modern agricultural practices. Dinner this evening will be a ravioli dinner from Papa’s Restaurant and Deli.
Space will be limited, so we ask that you reserve a seat for the dinner by Wednesday, January 18. You can make your reservations by calling 612-529-9558 or sending an email to info@victoryneighborhood.org. If you call and leave a message please leave a phone number where you can be reached for confirmation.
