NEWS AND NOTES
Local Group 23 News:
- Lee Baird and Nancy Bailey talked about our work to a group of 8th grade HISD students who are studying human rights abuses. Lee talked about due process and Nancy talked about the death penalty.
- We will not be able to have a table at the Houston International Festival. They are changing the makeup of some of the themes and non-profits like ours do not fit their new direction.
- We began a discussion of fundraising ideas on our listserve and will continue that discussion during the next meeting.
