‘The Beat Hunger Bash’ scheduled for tomorrow
The Committee of 19 and Auburn University’s Victoria's Secret interns will be hosting "The Beat Hunger Bash" on Tuesday, Oct. 13, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Sigma Chi Fraternity House. This will be an entertaining and grilling event to kick off Hunger Week. The Committee of 19 is the student organization at Auburn that leads the War on Hunger. One of the goals is to get students more actively involved in fighting both domestic and world hunger, and the Hunger Bash is a great way for individuals to contribute.
There will be free gifts from Victoria's Secret, live music by Ernest Goes to Jazz, free food and a heated grill-off competition with the winner being announced at the Auburn vs. Kentucky football game. Student organizations are encouraged to participate in the grilling competition and can win the title of “Auburn’s Next Top Grill Masters.”
Each student who attends this event must bring two non-perishable food items that will go toward the Beat Bama Food Drive. Each student organization entering the grill-off will pay a $50 entree fee that will go directly toward the War on Hunger. Students who attend and bring the required two cans of food will receive two spirit points. Every organization that participates in the grill-off will receive 50 spirit points.

My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.
