Wand Presents Sister City Report

Sunday, August 14, at WAND's monthly meeting, local WAND member Phyllis Ponvert will present slides and discuss her empowering experiences in Juigalpa, Nicaragua. Phyllis, the only woman in her delegation, was chosen to be leader on this 10-day visit to Ann Arbor's sister city this past spring. She became so inspired by her visit that she has decided to return in September and spend the next year and a half in this Central American country, to help stop the war that the U.S. government is funding . The presentation will be held at St. Aidan's, doors open at 7 pm, the meeting begins at 7:30 pm, and the program begins at 8 pm. New members are always welcome.

WAND's goals are to educate ourselves and the public about the dangers of continued nuclear arms buildup, to influence our Congressional representatives by informed lobbying, and to empower people, especially women, personally and politically.
