Greetings Friends,

My name is Antoine Medley and I am the founder of the Cornel West Academy of Excellence here in Raleigh.  Dr. Cornel West will be in Raleigh on Nov. 4th 2009 at 7-9:00 pm to hold  lecture/fundraiser to support the efforts of the academy.  We are inviting the public to come out and share a thought provoking time with Dr. West. Attached is the flyer for the event.

We need your help.  I am trying to reach as many people as I can electronically to let them know about the event.  Can you please share this with your vast distribution lists?  The event will be held at the McKimmon Center near NC State.  Per Dr. West, this will be his first visit to Raleigh and he is really looking forward to the visit.
