I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to participate in the Vagina Monologues in some way!! I may be a bit outdated, but I've never joined a blog before--so I'm not really sure how to contact anyone via e-mail. However,to whomever is working on the show I want to be a part of it in some way if there's room for me! I'm sure it'd be a blast!!
Sorry I had to miss the first meeting but I would like to be active in this organization. I think I'm already signed up for the Vagina Monologues and I'd be interested in the other planned activities.
Thanks for leaving comments! :) If you're interested in staying updated by means of our mailing list, just send us an e-mail at lipservice.ua@gmail.com. As for getting involved in the Vagina Monologues, I'd recommend calling the Women's Studies office at 330-972-7008 as they are the official sponsors of the event.
