HOUGHTON -- A fund-raising party for the Copper Country Guatemala Accompaniment Project (CCGAP) will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 16, at the Michigan Tech Forestry Building. The Uptown Swingsters will be playing for eating and dancing.
Admission is free, but you can buy drawing tickets at the door for the grand prize of a handwoven Guatemalan wool blanket and other great prizes, too!
CCGAP supports accompaniment in Guatemala where people, mostly indigenous, are engaged in human rights activities that may put their lives at risk. Accompaniment deters violence and helps give confidence to these people to pursue economic, environmental and human rights justice.
Bring your wallets for the silent auction, including donated works by local artists and artisans, and join CCGAP in a stand of solidarity with the people of Guatemala. A variety of refreshments will be served.
