An International Night featuring ethnic food, music and dance performances from cultures around the world will be from 7-10 p.m. Friday in the Oakland Center on the campus of Oakland University. A reward is offered for information about a suspect in six armed robberies in Rochester Hills and Shelby Township in the past two weeks. The suspect has worn a blue or white bandana over his face in holdups of gas stations, a pizza parlor and a 7-11 store hit shortly before midnight Sunday. He has worn baseball caps in several holdups including one with Rice Lacrosse lettered on it. Artists, students and adults have made ceramic bowls, which are donated for the simple meal event.
Diners enjoy a meal of homemade soups, salads, breads and desert and then take the empty bowl home.
Larry Wallach, a member of the American Political Items Collectors Club, will discuss the items and the personalities that have shaped presidential elections over the past century. The League of Women Voters Oakland Area will host the discussion on Michigan Proposal 1 on vouchers for nonpublic schools, Michigan Proposal 2 on letting local votes count and the Oakland County arts and culture tax.
