Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day
Rachel Carson:
The Wonder of Nature
Performed by Ann Beyke
Sunday, March 13, 3 pm
Albuquerque Mennonite Church
1300 Girard Blvd. NE
Rachel Carson was a marine biologist when few women dared even tread the water. Her lifelong love of nature and science led to research on how uncontrolled chemical use in our cities, towns and farming communities devastated wildlife and food sources. Silent Spring, her bestselling book on the topic, detailed this devastation and led to the eventual ban on the use of DDT in the United States. Carson’s work made environmentalism an integral part of our lives as she became the Mother of the Environmental Movement.
Enjoy Homemade Deserts and a silent auction for Earth items for Gardening and Eating as part of the event.
$10 suggested donation or 3 tickets for $25 if purchased by March 11. Tickets $12 at the door.
Checks payable to NM Interfaith Power and Light, PO Box 27162, Albuquerque, NM 87125.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Bread's 2011 Offering of Letters will continue to push Congress and the administration toward U.S. foreign assistance that is more effective in reducing poverty. We will advocate for a stronger U.S. government focus on reducing poverty, clearer accountability for how aid dollars are spent, a transformed U.S. development agency, and U.S. aid that meets the needs and wants of local people.
The 2011 Offering of Letters campaign will continue to push Congress and the administration toward U.S. foreign assistance that is more effective in reducing global poverty.
We seek changes on four fronts:
A stronger U.S. government focus on reducing poverty.
Clearer accountability for how U.S. aid dollars are spent and their results.
A transformed U.S. development agency.
U.S. aid that meets the needs and wants of local people.
