Dear supporters,

Check out this event in Yonkers, NY.

Note: this is not a Love146 organized event...

You are living in an Era of SLAVERY.

That's right, slavery is NOT history. We should know here at Philipse Manor Hall, a
State Historic Site in downtown Yonkers, New York. The building used to be owned by
slave owners and slave traders. Now, we're a museum.

Join us to read and discuss Kevin Bales' "Disposable People: New Slavery in the
Global Economy." We'll read, listen, speak, watch (and have refreshments) as we
delve into the topic of human trafficking. Come to learn. We'd love to have you.

Free admission. Books are on reserve through the library.

Sunday, March 9th, 2-4pm

Introduction to human trafficking, refreshments, pick up your book.

Sunday, March 30, 2-4pm

Book discussion and refreshment.

Join Cultural Exchange Through Soccer, the Pleasant Street Neighborhood Network Center, and Worcester Common Ground for the Worcester World Cup 2007! This 2-day tournament will bring together 18 teams representing 16 countries and immigrant communities. Women’s teams from Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico and the USA will be joined by Men’s teams from Togo, Albania, Iran, Jamaica, Ghana, Iraq, Guatemala, Brazil, Kosova, Vietnam, Liberia, USA, Ecuador, & Senegal.

The tournament is held at Elm Park Community School field, a focal point of the nascent immigrant soccer leagues and pick-up games in Worcester. The Worcester World Cup is a community celebration with entertainment along with games for children, national flags representing the teams, ethnic food vendors, and more! EHANA, the neighborhood association around the Elm Park Community School will be coordinating children’s activities and awarding prizes. There is no entrance fee for spectators.

Cultural Exchange Through Soccer (CETS) was born out of an effort to build relationships in an internationally diverse neighborhood and to support Elm Park Community School’s growth. It is a unique program that has proven its ability to bring neighbors together for recreation and for the neighborhood’s common good. CETS was started in the summer of 2003 and has grown substantially. What was an 8- week program with a dozen kids and one coach now boasts over 65 participants, including 14 coaches playing year round by using the EPCS gymnasium and the EPCS school field.

**** We still have openings for ball retrievers. To volunteer, email or call Laura at Netwkctr@verizon.net / 508.754.7793.****
