Rwandan genocide.
Dear BJCC member or Friend of Balto. Jewish Cultural Chavurah,
On Sunday, April 30 there will be a national rally on the Mall in
Washington, D.C. to ACTIVELY oppose the genocide in Darfur and to push our
government to do more to aid its victims. American Jewish World Service
is a key organizer and Baltimore Jewish Council is devoting a lot of
effort to getting Jews from the Baltimore area to participate.
We encourage as many of you as possible to join us at this rally. Many
synagogues in the area will have busses going. Chizuk Amuno, at Stevenson
Rd. and the Beltway, has one bus for non-members and we would like all
"our" folks to take that one. It will leave at 11 a.m. and return by 7
p.m. The rally itself is 1:30 -4 p.m.
Please let me know ASAP if you plan to go, as the Chizuk Amuno planners
need to know soon. I will need your name, address, phone #, e-mail
address and # of people going. If you cannot respond to me by April 12,
please respond after to Elise Saltzberg at esaltzberg at aol.com or
410-486-3603.
Thanks. Please feel free to call or e-mail me with any questions.
