With vacation coming up soon the “Almost Christmas” movie night and ugly sweater competition will be on Saturday Nov. 17.
The event will be in Spagnuolo Hall by the Film Club at 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.. The movie, Almost Christmas, is about the wish of a father that his family to get along for five days during the holidays and make a Christmas miracle. The cast including Danny Glover, Mo’Nique, JB Smoove, Gabrielle Union, Jessie T. Usher, and Omar Epps.
The ugly sweater competition will have two prizes a gift card and an ugly sweater that says, film club. Junior Sophia Venezia, president of Film Club, said, “It’s a cool de-stressor, it’s a funny comedy with a cool twist of our ugly sweater competition.”
The goal of this event is to get the word out about the club and to help the Franklin Pierce University community celebrate together before the breaks. Junior Alexa Astra, vice president of Film Club, said, “This event is going to be fun because not a lot of people know what Film Club. It’s also just a time we can all get together before Christmas and Thanksgiving break to celebrate the holidays.”

There is a crisis of trust in journalism right now. Many Americans say they don’t trust the news media anymore, and poll after poll shows that they want newspapers to be more transparent about how the news is gathered.
This semester the Exchange is asking its reporters to describe what they did to report the facts, in what we’re calling a transparency statement. We ask our readers to feel free to use the comment boxes at the bottom of each article to call them out when the reporters may not have done enough and to compliment them when you think they’ve done a good job.
For this article I met up with the film club president and vice president to get the info on the event. I got info on what the prizes for the ugly sweater composition. I got the time and place of the event and where it will be held from the film club. I also got the info on what movie was being played. And what the movie is about from the film club.
