An attempt by the team to stop him at the Kremlin ends in a disaster, with an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF being implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to invoke Ghost Protocol, under which the IMF is disavowed, and will be offered no help or backup in any form.

CELEBRATE OUR 5TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY BY HELPING
US "GREEN UP" FOR AN EFFICIENT FUTURE
The Big Picture Theater & Café in Waitsfield VT celebrates its fifth anniversary this year and is reaching out to the community for support in helping make it more sustainable in the years to come.
It’s been an exciting ride for Big Picture since its founding in 2006. What was once a faltering movie house has become a vibrant café, first run and art-house theater, concert and live event venue, and, above all, community gathering space. After incorporating the Very Small Donut Company and lending support to Small Step Farm, Big Picture has been able in so many ways to fulfill its wildest dreams. Thanks to its dedicated staff and the people of this remarkable valley, Big Picture has become more than just a theater/café but the Mad River Valley’s primary hub for cultural, social, and community events and programming.
But Big Picture’s biggest dream is to make sure that this positive investment in the community is a lasting one. “We see too many vital community institutions close across the country and in Vermont,” says Becker. “Community centers being lost to big business. We want Big Picture to be here for generations.” (read more)
To contribute your service/skils for the auction or help in anyway, contact Claudia Becker at cbecker007@yahoo.com or call 802.496.8994. |
