MARK YOUR CALENDAR - Monday July 14 , 2014 6pm  #AveryInstitute

This year marks the 25th Pastors for Peace Friendship Caravan to Cuba, a project of the Inter-religious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO).

Once again, the Avery Research Center for African American History & Culture will serve as host for the 2014 Cuban Caravan visit / stopover in Charleston. The caravan will arrive in Charleston on Monday July 14 , 2014 between the hours of 4:00 - 6:00 p.m and our program at the Avery Research Center begins at 6:00pm.

As has been our tradition, we will have a communal meal (a la potluck) commencing @ 5:30 p.m. So everybody, please bring a dish to share, along with all of the utensils, etc. needed to serve your dish. Please have pot luck food at the Avery Research Center by at least by 4:30 pm on Monday, July 14, 2014.

Contact Mr. Curtis J. Franks at: franksc@cofc.edu or 843.953.7610, and let him know what your dish / food contribution is going to be.
Also, *monetary contributions toward the meal, and certainly to the organization, is strongly encouraged.

In the Spirit of Freedom Summer, we acknowledge and recognize the Cuban government for awarding scholarships to attend medical school to thousands of students from Africa, Asia, and the Americans (including South Carolinians). Reciprocity has its place, so let's get busy and support the Caravanistas & other initiatives to improve the quality of life of as many people as we can.
Monetary donations in the form of checks should be made out to the organization: IFCO. Donations are tax deductible.
