From Dr. Pat Salomon:
Don't miss Montgomery County's annual Peace Luncheon, Sat., May 8, 11:30 a.m.
Keynote speaker: the fabulous Ray McGovern, who will inspire you and give you hope and energy for our long struggle for peace.
Delicious Middle Eastern food, stirring music, great speaker--and all to benefit a terrific organization that provides services for rural Afghan women (Women for Afghan Women: http://www.womenforafghanwomen.org/about/AWFOctober09Color.pdf ).
Plus, we'll present awards to Sen. Jamie Raskin, Del. Sheila Hixson and a high school student in recognition of their work for peace.
New this year: A raffle of a very cool electric scooter, to benefit the Afghan youth group "Our Journey to Smile."
Suggested donation: $20 (includes lunch).
Location: Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville, 100 Welsh Park Dr., Rockville. Directions here: http://www.uucr.org/directions.php
Everyone is invited, but please be sure to RSVP to info@peaceactionmc.org so that the organizers can ensure enough food for everyone!
Sponsored by Peace Action Montgomery, the UUCR Social Justice Committee, and Pax Christi.
