Cuba Hurricane Appeal - fund-raising event
Lloyds pub, Wilbraham Rd, Chorlton on Thursday 6 November 2008, 8.30-11.00
For Cuba hurricane relief Why? Cuba has experienced the 'worst ever' devastation and is in need of aid to repair buildings and guarantee food supply.
Hurricanes Gustav and Ike which hit Cuba in September caused
devastation on a massive scale throughout the country. Homes, transport,
agriculture and power lines have been wiped out and emergency brigades have
been sent to parts of the country decimated by the storms.
To donate to the Cuban relief fund send a cheque to Cuba Solidarity Campaign - c/o UNITE Woodberry, 218 Green Lanes, London, N4 2HB or donate with your credit card or from a paypal account (note we are not a charity so gift aid not possible). Thank you!
Information about the scale of the disaster - follow link.
The band Cajun Street Preachers will play - a rerun of previous popular
events with raffle, stall, collection.
Dave Eatock, the band accordionist has written a song for the
Miami/Cuban 5 and this will be played. The Band's new CD - Things
can Change will be on sale to contribute to the fund-raising effort
too.

Meetings are at 7.30 on the First Monday of the month (unless its a
public holiday, in which case the next day, Tuesday). No August
meeting.
All
friends of the Cuban people and their revolution welcome. We
have
a business meeting that lasts 60-90 minutes and then sometimes then have
a drink and a chat. Every other month or so we have a
focussed
discussion
preceded by a talk or a film.
In
September 2000 we decided to formally make direct
links
with a community in Matanzas province.
This
is a good focus for building the Campaign locally, as well
as being of direct benefit to the community.
