PASTORS' CARAVAN COLLECTING AID FOR CUBA'S CHILDREN

MILWAUKEE SEND-OFF ON SATURDAY JUNE 24TH

Local supporters of Pastors for Peace are now collecting humanitarian
supplies for Cuban children with special needs, for a Caravan which will
leave Milwaukee on Saturday June 24th. . The sendoff celebration from 5-7pm
at Club Timbuktu, 520 E. Center Street, will feature a talk by Rev. Tom
Smith, president of the Board of Pastors for Peace, and pastor of Monument
Baptist Church in Pittsburgh, PA; as well as African snacks and Caribbean
music played by DJ Paul Finger.

Donations for this 17th Friendshipment Caravan may be dropped off at
Milwaukee's Central United Methodist Church, 639 N. 25th St., at Wisconsin
Ave. (414) 344-1600. Specific items requested include wheelchairs, crutches,
vitamins, school supplies, sports/art equipment, Bibles in Spanish, infant
formula, new children's clothing, medical supplies, and current medicines.
For details see www.pastorsforpeace.org, or
http://www.ifconews.org/Cuba/caravan17/docs_and_org_resources/2006MaterialAi
dGuide.pdf

The send off event is open to the public, for a financial donation for the
Caravan to be made out to "IFCO/Pastors for Peace." For more information,
contact the Wisconsin Coalition to Normalize Relations with Cuba at (414)
964-0350, www.WICuba.org.

The Caravan is a challenge the tightened US restrictions on travel to Cuba,
and the 46-year old economic blockade. The caravan will travel to Cuba and
deliver humanitarian aid without a U.S. Treasury department license as an
example of grassroots solidarity between the people of both countries.
