1. January
Event
Video presentation:
"Why are women so strange and men so weird?"
This delightful
video deals with the different communication styles that men and women use on a
daily basis. The video illustrates how men and women interprete events in
different ways, and helps us appreciate how the other gender may in fact
misunderstand a given message. By increasing our awareness of these gender
differences, we can begin to improve our communication skills with the opposite
sex.
This event is open
to both WOMEN and MEN. Admission is free. We encourage you to bring your
significant other and/or your friends for an upbeat and informative look at a
serious topic.
