"Darius Goes West: The Roll of His Life"
Tuesday, May 15th at 6:30PM
Darius Weems has Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the number one genetic killer of children in the world. He lost his beloved older brother, Mario, to this disease 12 years ago at age 19. Before he died, Mario asked his friend, Logan Smalley, to “look after Darius when I’m gone.” Four years later, Logan and Darius were watching “Pimp My Ride” and came up with the idea to travel from Athens, GA to Los Angeles, CA and convince MTV to customize Darius’ wheelchair so they could draw attention to DMD and bring awareness to a younger generation. The trip was filmed and turned into a documentary, Darius Goes West: The Roll of His Life, with all proceeds going to DMD research. While research is burgeoning, Darius knows a cure won’t be found in time to save his life. But by using his film to help save the next generation with DMD, Darius has found a way to look out for his “little brothers.” What started as a road trip amongst friends to show a young man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the USA...became a multi-award winning documentary and sparked a national movement that has inspired educational and fundraising programs used in schools across America.

Darius is on tour in the northeast this spring and will be visiting both Browns River Middle School and Mount Mansfield Union High School on May 25th. Those assemblies are open to parents and community members with RSVP to the schools prior to May 18th. More information will be on hand at the movie screening on May 15th.

The next Italian Movie Night will be Friday May 18 at 6:30 PM

With so many devices coming out on the eReader/tablet market recently, sometimes choosing the right one can be a bit overwhelming. Thankfully there are charts out there that compare these devices side by side so that you can choose the right one for you.This link provides a nice comparison of the tablets out there, such as the iPad, Kindle Fire, and a couple different nook models. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced than an eReader, this chart is for you. The best part? All of these devices are compatible with Listen Up! Vermont eBooks!
