Support a great cause, meet new people, and enjoy some drinks, what else would someone want to do to celebrate their birthday? That is what we thought..

• Friday, March 12th at 9:30 p.m.
• End Time Saturday, March 13th 1:30 a.m.
• Luna Lounge 13 Maryland Plaza, St. Louis, MO

JCI (Junior Chamber International) is partnering with United Nations Foundation for their Nothing But Nets Campaign to create this Nothing But Nets Birthday Party. There is a $10 cover at the door which ALL will go to benefit Nothing But Nets!

If you did not know, Nothing But Nets is a grassroots campaign to provide insecticide treated bed nets to prevent malaria in Africa. Malaria is preventable but it causes nearly 500 million illnesses and kills over a 1 million people each year from just becoming infected.Ninty percent of those deaths occur in Africa, which is the leading killer of children.  Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from Malaria.

$10 is what it costs to make and distribute a bed net. There for, your cover for the event will provide one net for a family.  This may not seem like much to you, but to the people of Malaria, that survive on about a $1 a day, it is a lot of money.

If having a great time and saving a family from Malaria at the same time was not a good enough reason to come, everyone who pays the $10 cover charge will receive a voucher for 1 complementary drink!! To top it off even more, there will also be free appetizers! And a live DJ will be present so we can enjoy some great music!

If you are not able to attend this great Birthday event, you are more than welcome to contribute to Carlos’ (the gentleman who came up with this wonderful idea) personal campaign at http://www.mynothingbutnets.net/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=798314&LangPref=en-CA

See you there and feel free to tell everyone about this! If you have had a birthday in the past month, this month or the month to come, please let us know and we could love to add you to the list of birthday celebrators.

Birthday Participants:

Shana Terai
Laura Tabat (Marketing for JCI)
Arie Kaplan
Rachel Boone (Owner of TriLeaf Designs)
Carlos Suarez (Organizer of event)
Cedric Diakabana

Hope to see you all there!!!!
