URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT
CAN BIG DUB BE SAVED?
As posted on the BigDub FaceBook Group Page
The Board of Directors of Four Quarters InterFaith is considering whether or not to proceed with hosting Big Dub. The risk factors that are always present in hosting any event only increase in the face of incendiary Facebook posts. This post is an experiment to determine if Facebook can be used to build community, rather than destroy it. This is our own attempt to save Big Dub.

PSA #1 Norovirus
To our Visitors and Friends
Recently we have suffered at Four Quarters outbreaks of a very contagious Viral GI illness that is following the pattern of the 2008 season outbreaks. We have been in contact with our public health officials about Viral GI prior to the outbreak at The Mad Tea Party and have been in continuous contact since Sunday morning, June 18th. We have been forwarding contact information, hospital information, test reports and samples directly to the PA Epidemiological Dept, and will be meeting with them on site shortly.
