NFAR and SDSU are hosting an "Evening with Joey Travolta" this Thursday, February 27 at 7pm at San Diego State University. Mr. Travolta will be discussing his Inclusion Films program that teaches the art of filmmaking to young adults with developmental disabilities. He will also share a short film produced by and starring those with autism.

The event is free and will be held in ENS 280.  The best place to park for this event is Parking Structure 4 (in red on the map) on the 7th or 8th levels.  There is a machine to buy parking tickets for $1 per hour to put on your car.  The ENS building is just south of the structure.
