Saturday
Fundraiser for humanitarian aid
A fundraiser to raise money for humanitarian aid to send to Cuba will take place on Saturday at First Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 1875 S. Fruitridge Ave. Dinner will be at 6 p.m., salsa dancing at 7. Local artist Alexandra McNichols, a native of Bogota, Columbia, will be leading the dance steps.
The dancing will be preceded by a Red Beans and Rice dinner, which is a typical meal served in Cuba. Dinner will also include Cuban desserts. The cost of both the dinner and dancing is $6; children are free.
The money raised will be given to members of the Pastors for Peace Caravan, which will visit Terre Haute on July 8. A member of the caravan will speak about why they participate in the annual trip to Cuba at the 10:30 a.m. morning service on July 8 and again at 2 p.m. Members of the congregation have also been collecting medical supplies to send with the Caravan to Cuba. All members of the public who want to support humanitarian relief efforts for Cuba or who want to learn more about Cuba are welcome to attend all events.
Pastors for Peace, an ecumenical religious organization based in New York, has been taking aid to Cuba for more than 20 years because it opposes the trade embargo against Cuba imposed by the U.S. nearly 50 years ago. According to U.S. law, American companies are not permitted to trade with Cuba, and that includes medical supplies and food.
