Mr. Salil Shetty, the Director of the Millennium Campaign for the United Nations will speak at St. Luke Lutheran Church on Tuesday, October 30th, at 7

The Millennium Campaign is based on the Millennium Development Goals that set a framework to end extreme poverty by 2015. In 2007, we are halfway there. Mr. Shetty's compelling presentation addresses how far we have come and what obstacles remain. This is a unique opportunity to hear first hand how the MDG's are working, and how we can help implement them.
