Support The Ross on GIVE TO LINCOLN DAY!
Please join us on Give to Lincoln Day (May 17, 2012) and help support The Friends of The Ross. It is one special day when everyone in Lincoln is asked to make a donation and show support for the local nonprofit organizations that contribute so much to our great city. All nonprofit donations will help even more on Give to Lincoln Day because agencies will receive a share of a $200,000 challenge match fund from the Lincoln Community Foundation. The Friends of The Ross will be participating in this event - this will be a great opportunity to help support the Ross and the stellar programming that is made possible through community support, including special events like Movie Talks and visiting filmmakers. The Ross is currently working on upgrading the digital projection systems, a massive undertaking that will not be possible without the support of the Friends and the Lincoln community.
You can help in any one of the following ways:
• Make an online donation on May 17, 2012 (minimum $10 donation) via The Friends of The Ross Give to Lincoln Page. A donation button will also be added to the Ross website the day of the event.
• Send or drop off a check dated May 17, 2012 AND made out to the LINCOLN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. We will hand deliver these donations on May 17, 2012. Checks must be received by 4:00 p.m. on May 17.
• Join members of The Friends of The Ross in the library at The Ross on May 17, 2012 between the hours of 8:00a.m. – 8:00p.m. to make an on-line donation and enjoy some refreshments.
• If you would prefer to donate in advance (via check or credit card) download this form and return it to the Ross office before May 17.
In the meantime, bookmark our donation page, follow us on Twitter, or like us on Facebook for updates and reminders. Help us spread the word by forwarding and sharing this information via email and social media.

Sunday, May 20 at 3:00 p.m. following the 1:15 p.m. screening of MONSIEUR LAZHAR
Admission to the Movie Talk is free and open to the public. Admission for MONSIEUR LAZHAR is at regular Ross prices. The Movie Talk series is sponsored by the Friends of the Ross.
“What makes [MONSIEUR LAZHAR] enthralling is the wisdom and grace with which it addresses the twin subjects of grief and healing, and the quiet beauty of Mohamed Fellag's performance in the title role.”—Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
“[MONSIEUR LAZHAR] deals almost casually with a range of issues and themes, handling with a light and even affectionate touch weighty subjects like grief, guilt, community and love.”—Kenneth Turin, Los Angeles Times
JAMES D. LE SUEUR
I received my Phd in history from the University of Chicago in 1996 and am professor of history at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I am a specialist in French and Algerian history, as well as the history of terrorism and the history of radical Islam. I have published several books, most recently "Algeria since 1989: Between Democracy and Terrorism." I am currently writing a new book on pre-9/11 terrorism in the United States and Canada and making two documentaries. The first is a film about exiled writers from Muslim-majority states and the second is about jihadi terrorism in the US and Canada before 9/11
