OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMMUNITY WALK

Every year suicide claims more lives than war, murder and natural disasters combined, and yet suicide prevention doesn't get anywhere near the funding given to other leading causes of death. It's up to walkers like us to make a difference. Together we can change the conversation about mental health and put a stop to this tragic loss of life.

MSUM PERFORMING ARTS SERIES: THE HERITAGE BLUES ORCHESTRA

The GRAMMY® Award-nominated nine-member Heritage Blues Orchestra brings the grit of lowdown country and urban blues to the bold brass of New Orleans; the hand-clapping, hustle and bustle of gospel to fiery postmodern, jazz-infused horn arrangements; the haunting cries of work songs to pulsating drums that reach back to the roots of it all.

7:30 P.M.

Gaede Stage in the Roland Dille Center for the Arts, MSUM

For tickets, go to www.mnstate.edu/perform or call the MSUM Box Office M-F from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (218) 477-2271.

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Then you will seek me and find me: when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord. "

— JEREMIAH 29: 11-14
