Dear Friends,

If you live in the Chicago area or know people who do I strongly recommend you consider attending the American Friends Service Committee’s Middle East Program Annual Benefit on October 2nd to be held in the great city of Chicago. This year’s program, “Creating Connections, Renewing Commitments,” will honor three individuals for their commitment to justice: Pulitzer prize winning author Alice Walker; Palestinian-American Sami Kishawi, who is head of the University of Chicago’s Students for Justice in Palestine organization and serves on the executive committee of American Muslims for Palestine; and someone who is very dear to me and who is a true beacon of Compassion, Hope, Inspiration and a committed advocate of human rights: author and award-winning film producer Anna Baltzer. The details are below. I wish I could attend. Don’t miss out! This will be a wonderful evening with great food and wise and heart-felt messages of our higher nature as human beings. Please forward to your email lists. Salaam, Shalom, Rich
