Just a reminder about the Australia Cuba Friendship Society activities coming up soon.
There is a film night being held at the Tom Mann Theatre at 7pm on Friday 22nd November. The Consul-General of the Republic of Cuba in Sydney, ACFS and the Committee in Solidarity with Cuba invites you to come along to see several recent Cuban documentaries. We hope that these will provide an insight into the island's present reality, its epic history, the ongoing fight against the U.S. blockade, Cuba's unique take on the arts, music and sport.So come along and enjoy an evening getting to know one of the most popular and attractive islands in the Caribbean. Refreshments will be available ENTRY:$10.00 STUDENT/PENSIONER $5.00 Tom Mann Theatre 128 Chalmers Street Surry Hills We are holding an art show and auction this coming Saturday, November 23 at the Benledi Room, Glebe Library 186 Glebe Point Road, GLEBE from 2pm - 6pm (Auction at 5pm) The purpose of the auction is to raise money for our project in Cuba, the Mariana Grajales Primary School located in the Australia Sugar Mill in the Matanzas Province. The school was opened in 1954 and serves nearly 300 students. The current school facilities such as furniture, water supply, electricity, kitchen and bathrooms are outdated, in poor condition and insufficient for the increasing population in the rural area. The school was also severely damaged by Hurricane Michelle with many students having to relocate to schools further away from their homes. This function will be opened by the Cuban Consul-General in Australia and will feature live music and a speaker on education in Cuba. All are welcome. The Australia Cuba Friendship Society will also be having its end-of-year party at the Spanish Club on Sunday, December 8th. This is an annual event with music, dancing and general good times to celebrate solidarity with Cuba and the Cuban revolution. Put it in your diary now - and stay tuned for bands, times, etc. .. -- -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Sub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsub: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
