"Night of a Thousand Dinners" Cocktail Party

Young Professionals for International Cooperation - Greater Boston
Invites you to our annual

"Night of a Thousand Dinners" Cocktail Party
A fundraiser to clear landmines worldwide!

Suggested Donation: $10 per person

Appetizers will be served
Cash Bar will be available

Raffle Prizes from John Harvard's, Starbucks, Teatro Restaurant and Adopt-A-Minefield!

Night of a Thousand Dinners (N1KD) is an opportunity for people all over the world to come together on a single night, enjoy some good food and drinks and help solve the global landmine crisis. Landmines are indiscriminate weapons of war. Beyond maiming and killing tens of thousands of individuals each year, one third of them children, landmines prevent reconstruction in postwar societies. They hinder the development of farms, roads, schools, and other necessary infrastructure, preventing communities from becoming economically self-sufficient. This year's N1KD will focus Iraq, as well as Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cambodia and Mozambique. Join us for a presentation on landmines and a short film starring Heather Mill McCartney, interviewing landmine victims.

Proceeds from this event will be used to support Adopt-A-Minefield's mine clearance and survivor assistance programs. Adopt-A-Minefield is a program of the United Nations Association of the USA.

Support at asylum Court hearing

In December 2002 with much fanfare, several Algerian men were arrested on terrorism charges in Edinburgh, allegedly for plotting an attack on the Hogmanay celebrations. All the men were innocent, the evidence amounted to a scribbled on tourist map, and now they face deportation.

An asylum application by one of the men, Fouad Lasnami, will be heard on Wednesday 3rd November. Experience has shown that public and press attendance at the hearings can make a difference.

If you wish to show your support, please assemble outside the court at 9:30am.

People wishing to travel from Edinburgh should call 07719822164 for travel info and those in Glasgow can call 07870286632

Street Performer Weekly Gig with SAFE

SAFE (Society for Artistic Freedom and Expression) will have regular weekly Sing Outs on the Sidewalk in front of New Leaf Market 6pm every Wednesday evening.

SAFE calls for the restoration of the Voluntary Street Performers Guidelines and the end to onerous restrictions on peformers downtown.

One local Downtown Ordinance dictates the 10' forbidden zones limiting performers to less than 20% of downtown sidewalks. Another literally excludes them from narrower sidewalks in other business districts. Another is the "Move Along Law" which mandates criminal penalties for not "moving along" every hour.

Bring your instrument or just your ears. Bring a friend.

Hot soup by Joe Schultz.

Take back our public spaces from some creeping privatization, favored by a segment of the merchants.

We also share information on recent police and "host" harassment of performers.

Location:
In front of downtown New Leaf Market at Pacific and Lincoln Aves. between the Cafe Campesino and Alfresco's kiosks.

Cost: Free, but bring quarters and scraps to throw to performers!
