2) Halloween Night
Date: | Friday, 30 October 2009 |
Time: | 19:30 - 22:00 |
Location: | Dewan Chancellor Hall, IMU |
Sometimes a good cause needs a good scare!
In 2007 IMU adopted Kampung Orang Asli Serendah as one of it's homes for it's Community and Social Responsibility Programme.
One of the challenges faced by the Orang Asli there is unclean water. Without proper water supply, the residents are vulnerable to many water-borne illnesses. The idea of raising funds is to be able to provide them with a manual water pump. Each pump (+ installation of the pump) costs about RM2500, and we hope to raise enough money for at least one (or more) pump. This will enable the residents to have a supply of properly sanitized water and reduce the number of residents with water-borne illnesses.
Various activities have been planned throughout the whole night.
Tickets are for sale for RM12 and can be purchased from any of the Vice-Presidents.
Dinner is included together with the price (bargain) so do come along for some fun but also to help out for a good cause!
For more information about the event, check it out here
3) Acoustic Night

| Date: | Tuesday, 27 October 2009 |
| Time: | 19:00 - 23:00 |
