question(s) for the masses

Have any of y'all heard of Rachel's Challenge? Has anyone been to one of the assembly/meetings?

Matthew came home from school all !!!!! about it -- they had an assembly today at school for this, and they're having it again at 7p and he wants me to go, and quite frankly I don't want to. I can't help but think if it's this big, huge thing they want optimal attendance for, then they could've sent something out oh, even yesterday, to let us know.
